@robin @clinton It’s begining to look like a problem with this website, maybe.
I’m uploading this video directly from my android phone for testing purposes.
Does this video work for people?

looks like you’re very organised and methodical @robin yeah, kinda. Although, since I am new to this I was a bit scatterbrained here and there. I screwed up a few times when making the jigs like forgetting to make sure…   Read more»

@robin @clinton
I’m only getting the audio on my phone. I’ll check the PC later. 
🙂🎶🙏🎸

@robin
Im getting video ok

I’ve got an image in my head now of Frank Spencer building a guitar.

@robin Yep, that’s how I felt. 🤣

@robin Drawing has been posted in the showcase

Another little step forward, the waterslide decals are on the headstock now.

@robin Nice, looks good Robin. 👍

Thanks for that, I’ll have a look. I bought my last lot from Northwest Guitars and it came in 250mm straight lengths. @robin It’s cheaper to buy in straight lengths but it’s easier in coils, it’s ready to use. Just cut…   Read more»

Do you buy your fretwire pre rolled and where do you buy it from. I’m planning build #003 now while waiting for lacquer to harden. @robin Thanks Robin. Yes I normally buy it in coils rather than in straight lengths…   Read more»

Thanks for taking the time with that comprehensive advice @boo . I’ll get it prepped for more lacquer and wait for the right weather conditions again before spraying.  No problem @robin if you spray lighter coats, it’s less likely that…   Read more»

NI is just across the water, regardless of brexit, Northern Ireland still exists. 

@robin Doh! Of course it’s Northern Ireland, I was thinking it was an American state for some reason. 🤣

That looks really good @ koendb, well done.

@Robin: Thanks 🙂

Thanks @robin @boo   I got this CNC machine a few months ago, with all sorts of grand plans of what I’d use it for.  Thus far, it’s been pretty much exclusively non-guitar jobs. 🤔 Time to put that right….   Read more»

Another vote for zebras. What kind of finish are you going to put on it ? Darn! and I preferred the black ones. thats 2 against 1 already 🙂 Anyway.. @Robin Oil finish (Penetrating oil and finishing oil from Crimson…   Read more»

@robin I had done, it just looked a mess, really uneven texture and colour. Just need to suck it up and start again. 

@robin If you have already sanded it with 400, sand those scratches out with 600 at least and apply more clear coats. Be very careful not to sand through your sealer and into your colour stain/dye. It’s not the end…   Read more»

I am using rattle cans, but not nitro. Its Plasikote clear gloss lacquer that I’ve got. @robin Oh, I see. I haven’t used that before so I’m not sure. I would read about the application method on the can and…   Read more»

I’ll try to be patient and keep piling the coats on.

@robin I’m assuming you are using nitro in rattle cans, is that right? 

How many coat should I put on to build a decent thickness? @robin Keep going with more coats yet Robin, you need at least 10, I would say. You will be flattening and polishing some of it off so you…   Read more»

@robin Does that mean your guitar will be called “The Lurker” when it’s finished. The forum has been quiet recently so a lot of people seem to be in the same situation marking time and probably enjoyed this rare spell…   Read more»
