Yep G&W are good. There is also don’t forget www.guitarmaking.co.uk neither...chisels, router bits, Rasps and now a guitar makers knife...plus kits for builds (what more do ya want!)

I guess the old saying of "you get what you pay for" tends to be right. With StewMac, as well as what you get, you're also paying for shipping, VAT, import duty and the courier's handling charge (tho...

Stewmac cost me import tax around 50-80chf each time I limited my purchases from overseas on the specialised tools only. And I have a big problem finding finishing products (here in Switzerland) I hav...

Stewmac is superb no doubt but the VAT (being in Italy) and the shipping costs would almost double the prices. I have purchased from Guitars & Woods and find that their quality good, their prices ...

@markbailey Thanks Mark. I thought Stewmac looked good quality. I wondered if some of the cheaper versions that I saw were not as good. I guess the old saying of "you get what you pay for" tends to be...

My advice about tools is to get the best ones that you can afford - as you need them. What you spend in money will usually translate to a saving in time or stress. Depends what you have more of or val...

??️?️???? Hello Peeps, I've watched Mark's Video on Essential Tools which are all mostly freely available but I'm looking for some thoughts on buying some of the Precision Tools to make ...

OK, back to the blackness. 🖤 Unclamped this morning. I’m going to leave it for another day for the glue to cure a bit more before I get the router on it again, just in case. It’s looking a bi...

@mattbeels I’ve also bought a Positive Grid Spark that I haven’t used at all yet. I got it out the box when it arrived and put it straight on a shelf. I got the Yamaha at the same time and that has ju...

I noticed that you have one of the newer THR 10’s, is that a II or III and how do you like it? I’ve had the 10X for years and I love it. @mattbeels It’s a THR30II Wireless and it’s awesome. 🤘...

Time to put the two main parts together permanently, neck into body. Dry clamp first, then add glue and clamp for real. Attachment : 525640A7-E1A9-49EA-BE67-E1C33D41CAF6.jpeg Attachment : ...

I also couldn’t help firing the burner up and a very early mince pie. 🔥🔥🥧🔥🔥 Attachment : 1B81E2C9-C149-4D0C-B3A5-D793C7E8427E.jpeg Attachment : 0374E...

I couldn’t resist another test fit. There is no matt lacquer on the body yet and I need to do a final route of the neck joint once it’s glued in. Once I’ve glued the neck in and routed, I’ll fill any ...

Top Job

Another top job. I noticed you have a heady 14.3 deg temperature, hope you’re not expecting it to be as warm as that when you move North. @rocknroller912 Thanks very much. I am totally ready for col...

@boo Another top job. I noticed you have a heady 14.3 deg temperature, hope you’re not expecting it to be as warm as that when you move North.

Final sanding was with P600g paper (dry). Then I got some paint on there, I couldn’t resist. The conditions were not ideal but I managed. This is the first coat of black (second actually, the first is...

I did some final pinhole filling, sanding and prepping today. Attachment : C1D26F88-DE69-4913-A13D-3C316932E438.jpeg

Look at that velute, mighty fine work there @boo that is some great looking flat black
