You generally need a straight edge before you can create a straight edge Cheers @tv101. I'm going to give it another go. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

My trouble has always been that I don’t have any truly flat surfaces anywhere. Even my kitchen worktops are not completely flat. My wife caught me checking them for flatness and figured out why, she s...

Blue might be nice.......

I struggled for a while, trying to create properly accurate - straight - edges. You generally need a straight edge before you can create a straight edge ... or you have to be reasonably adept with the...

Damn! I’ve been found out! And backatcha - I look forward every week to seeing what you and Mabbot are up to.

Rather you than me @tv101. I’ve always had the luxury of sitting in the mix with a band...hides a multitude of sins (bum notes). I can’t sing for toffee neither. Hope you make some of the Bliss sessi...

I've planed and sanded it but can't get it quite a good as the other edge. How perfect do I need to be? @russ I’ve made a few but not really happy with any of them, I’ve still managed to make decent ...

Hello Peeps, I've made myself a Neck Taper Template but I'm not particularly happy with it. I made it from an offcut of MDF so it's only 600mm long. One side is the flat edge of the board but the othe...

are you sure you wouldn't prefer to stain it blue? @jonhodgson 🤣🤣🤣🤣💙

Mark’s Mirka is electrically powered - he used to use air power but he has one of the older Mirkas with an external power supply - see him sanding Roland’s guitar. My Mirka hasn’t done much work and i...
