Hi people, is there a reason not to use ash for a neck either it it’s entirety or and part of a laminated neck? Currently making a new ash blank for a body and someone’s offered up some ash for the ne...

@rocknroller912 @mattbeels Looks like we’ve got some competition I'm not planning on making a habit of it. But Joe did mention a mandolin that he thinks is beyond repair, sounds like a challenge to...

@robin Good repair and I would say it will outlast you and me. I like the way you have made new rivet caps. I still can’t work out how they managed to rivet wood without crushing it. Superglue can be ...

@boo It sure does sparkle

This flake is made up of green, gold and silver flake so it has a really good flip effect to it. I’m quite pleased with how it all went and how it now looks. I put three coats of clear on and I’ll put...

Time to remove the masking tape and clear coat the lot to make it all pop. 💚✨💚✨💚✨💚✨💚✨ Attachment : E70FE2F9-7F7E-4C28-9C...

Now I mix some flake into some clear basecoat and apply it over the Apple Green pearl. I also applied a piece of masking tape onto the green basecoat before applying the flake, this is so I can see th...

Before I spray these paints all over a guitar project, I need to know how these paints and flake are going to behave and ultimately how it looks when it’s done. This is why I do a test sprayout. I pu...
