Posted by: @clinton I plan to build up until my old age and honestly looking forward to my retirement and focus more as a guitar maker and much much thanks to Mark for all of this. @clinton Me too,...

@mattbeels Actually have finished several more. Pics and videos to come.

@boo Thank you. Not quite sure the best. Quite a number of things I need to improve on still. I think that is the reason we build and build @mattbeels. So we learn from minor and major mistakes and to...

Posted by: @mattbeels Awesome @clinton, you seem to be quite the guitar building machine! @mattbeels I’ll second that. @clinton is one of the best guitar builder in this forum, if not the best.

I posted something about wipe-on poly earlier on the forum, but I'll be happy to repeat myself 🙂 It's extremely simple to make your own: 1 part quality polyurethane laquer (oil-based, not the...

Posted by: @clinton Do you wet sand with the 3m pad? Is it too abrasive? If so, do you put dish detergent with the water for lubricant? @clinton I don’t normally use 3m pads, not with guitars anyway...

@boo 2 questions Do you wet sand with the 3m pad? Is it too abrasive? If so, do you put dish detergent with the water for lubricant? Have you ever used wipe on polyurethane? I want to attempt

@boo Hi thanks, will try. Makes sense and I think I understand it a bit more. Just need more patience I suppose to get it level flat.

Posted by: @clinton No I am not because I dye it. If you apply sanding sealer, doesn’t it seal it to where you could not stain thereafter? @clinton I would fill the grain, sand it back, raise the g...

@clinton Apply several layers of sanding sealer, let it dry and sand it flat. Then apply your clear lacquer. 👍

@clinton Are you applying sanding sealer after the grain filler (before you spray the clear lacquer)?

Hi Ok, I know Swamp Ash for many is a go to lumber for guitar buiding. I do not know exactly why? It is heavy, impossible to level sand and I find it’s grain pattern to be just meh for the cost of ti...

@robin That is exactly what I did. There was a pin in the center that I rotated on just like a circle cutting jig. I allowed the router to go as close as I dared but that did leave a little circle tha...

@bpower . A radius dish for the back of the acoustic guitar Ingenious, I'm trying to get my head around how you produce an even dish with your jig. I'm guessing its pinned in the centre somehow and...

Next on my, I'm too cheap to buy it so I'll build it, tools.... A radius dish for the back of the acoustic guitar. With some scraps I had in the shed, and a little time, I made this. This tool made fi...

Next on my "I'm too cheap to buy it so I'll try and make it" list. A rosette clamp and jig. And then I played around with some ideas. So cool. 🙂 Attachment : 20220105_130744.jpg Attachment :...

@swepri Rattle can lacquer and buffed it with Meguiras car wax

@clinton Great looking guitar. What did you use to get that shiny finish?
