Hey @boo. I'm loving it. I'm very much hoping in the future to develop my painting skills. Although I do love a nice peice of beautifully figured wood in custom guitars I do prefer my guitars coloured...

Yeah.... but... Stew Mac........

superglue instead then and carry on using my Safe-T-Planer Superglue is a very useful emergency first aid kit - keep it next to the Safe-T-Planer (if ever something was misnamed!!).

Thanks for all your input folks. That's a resounding 'NO' from the forum then with the exception of Eddie6string. I'll use the money on masking tape and superglue instead then and carry on using my Sa...

I’ve got a triton thicknesser. It is handy for recycling wood for guitar use. The most annoying thing is it’s max width is 13”. This is right on the limit or even below the limit for many guitars. eve...

Carol probably thinks I’ve been joking when I’ve commented that the Weds-Thurs-Sat cycle has kept me sane over the past months, What happens on a Thursday that I'm missing?

What part of Scotland are you planning on moving to boo? @robin West Coast somewhere, not too far from your caravan. We are keeping a close eye on the market and what is available to buy. We are als...

@boo What part of Scotland are you planning on moving to boo? I've done my share of looking after elderly relatives, I hadn't really thought about how much time it takes up and how it wears you down ...

Sounds like you're overdue some "you time" @Boo. 😀 Similarly, we had a few holidays in Scotland (both West & East coasts) when we lived in the Lakes, and really enjoyed the space and scene...

So nice to meet some of the folks i see in the livestream chats! @darrenking Thanks, I will definitely be asking you lots of questions. @boo I love that bench. It's a split top roubo with a 4" top th...

Hi Brad I'll add my (slightly belated) welcome too - always good to have another member on here posting pics of their builds. I'm always envious of the timbers that seem to be available in the US th...

Well, I have felled, planked, dried, planed local trees for my own use for some years. Storage and drying are the main issues. I've having new Axminster planer thicknesses delivered on Tuesday as I'...

So, you’re going for the natural look on your next 20-odd builds @boo? That looks like a lot of flakes ...

I possibly know where to send some of mine ??

Another shipment of flake and candy this morning. Attachment : C3A2AA39-439C-4D7D-9801-D2295F972B15.jpeg Attachment : 5C649E39-A28B-46C8-8FE5-89997B4D5DAF.jpeg Attachment : E76BF627...
