@clinton My workbench has a melamine top Ahh, that makes sense. I noticed that your plans were always on the bench and kind of wondered about that. Seems like a pretty cool idea actually...

Stewmac re-did their routing templates somewhat recently and in addition to being thicker they also include handy routing depths. Using those measurements as a guide seems like a great starting point,...

I’ll snap a few photos of my benches when I move into my new shop in a couple of weeks as all my stuff is in storage. I built my first one around 15 years ago from some plans that I found online. The ...

@marcel Happy Anniversary Marcel, have a great one!

Nice moves there @clinton You’re the one handed Bandsawsman!

Looks good from here @robin! Figuring out how to fix mistakes and working through problems is the best way to learn, keep it up as you’re doing great!

@mikeyrjiom This one looks great as well, excellent work! I've been told by the boss I now have to try and sell these before making any more 😟 Well all you have to do is "try"...

Woo-hoo! @markbailey & Carol, What an enormously generous thing to do! I of course hope that I will win but as I never win anything at least I won’t feel down if I don’t. 😂 Best of luck to...

@boo Daaaaang, that’s some expensive paint! I didn’t really think about it from your other post about SM but doesn’t anyone in the UK have shielding paint?!? It‘s a good thing you didn’t get charged c...

@rocknroller912 That sounds roughly what we have here. There are more places open then what would be considered essential but as our numbers are low I guess more and more places are slowly re-opening....

@rockpile99 Looks great, nice save! Glad to hear that you have a properly functioning guitar... I agree that the finish looks great, what’s your 'sucky sweet' finish?

@marcel Ahh, the master of music: Frank Zappa. How I miss him. It would be so nice to hear what he would have said about the internet, social media etc. Sheik Yerbouti is one of my favorites, so many ...

Looks good to me James. I think it all sounds correct. Now, will everyone read and abide by the correct terms? Hmmm...

@rocknroller912 we are still not allowed to go anywhere. Say what?!? Total lockdown as in stay in the house or at least on your property? How do you get sundries and such?

@tv101 Has anyone ever managed to order something for less than £135 from Stewmac?? Bah-hahahahaha!

I trust that you guys had a good time at the stream today? We had a family trip to the forest and so I wasn’t able to attend, I’ll catch up tonight or tomorrow!

Great story, but it makes me sick...

I’d go with the one on the left or in the middle but they all look a bit tight at the top frets to me. I like to use ‘em all and I don’t wanna fight the guitar, it’s gonna win anyway...

Frank Zappa asked "Does Humor Belong In Music?" Well I say Yes! Frank was definitely one of the funniest. Scatterbrain were a talented bunch that grew out of the band Ludichrist in the early 90’s and ...

I agree about the Tao guitars, not my style but the craftsmanship is impeccable and that circuit looks like it was made by aliens!
