Today in my 37th birthday Happy birthday for yesterday, and congrats on spending it in a great way. I remember my 37th birthday. But only very vaguely.

If you try to dry logs in the round you will end up with a big pile of firewood!! You have to get it cut into slabs otherwise the whole log will just be full of checks and splits. Find someone local w...

I’d store them on slats to let air get round them also try and I’ve heard to seal the ends or it will crack/split as they dry.

Awesome @petersoyanov ?

I’ve heard Cherry is a good tone wood... A bit on the heavy side but I think it would make great guitars. When it’s moisture ready chuck come my way and I’ll bring test it out for you @petersoyanov ?

I bought loads of magnetic strips to store loads of hand tools, cup hooks for things with hanging holes and in pairs for hammers and long biggish screws for metal clamps. I managed to put up some lon...

@darrenking .... where did you find those handy-looking little boxes??

You're all so lucky to have so much cluttered space. I'm working in a 8' x 6' hut that also stores my sailing gear, outboard motors, lawn mower and an increasing collection of bits of wood. So I'm mos...

@tv1010101 Hi TV1010101010011001, the first pic in the thread shows them coming off my laser clutter. They are actually remarkably strong given their 2mm MDF construction. Could be another website/eB...

@robin I’d give up sailing and cutting your grass ASAP if I were you! eBay is a great way to get rid of unwanted ‘ex-hobby’ items for when you need to make space for the things that really matter!!? ?

Could be another website/eBay offering, I don’t know, I’ve never actually costed them. Bloody useful though! @darrenking Ahhhh ... useful things, laser cutters, CNC machines, et al! Useful things th...

@darrenking Learning to play guitar and watching Mark's livestreams was only supposed to to pass the time while I was in lockdown and shielding, now the boat is laying neglected while I'm turning bit...

Bridge on, alignment check and pickup placement before drilling the holes. Making a left handed guitar is very confusing the first time you do it but I’m getting there. Attachment : BD1ABA28-EACC...

It’s all starting to come together and looking better than I thought it would, even though I say so myself. Attachment : EFBD6946-1A41-4AF5-9762-15E3FD5179A4.jpeg Attachment : CF6E9EB3-E13C...

That looks excellent. Somehow, Teles seem to look good to me when they have some "interesting" design features. Perhaps the relative plain-ness of an ordinary Tele makes the interesting ones stand ou...

@tv1010101 Thank you very much sir, I appreciate the kind words. I agree about the plain ones, I think traditionally people like them for their simplicity. I have made many Teles now and I think I’ve ...

I’d say 60s or (very) early 70s. There were a multitude of similar things produced in that era, under various different brands, mostly cheap and not hugely well made. It was really the period in whi...

I have played Guitar since I was 14 and started on a battered acoustic one of my dads friends had given up on.Whilst "playing" the guitar outside the back door in those early days, one of our neighbou...

I have now used 3 Freeway pickup selectors switches, they make two types of switch, one that looks like a Gibson style three way and one that looks like a 5 way Strat switch - the difference is that t...

Having been inspired by seeing Mark's modified fret slot cutting table saw I am going to have a go at building my own. Miguel at my favorite saw blade supplier (NLS - North London Saw) has found me a ...
