What is this old money you speak of @tv101 and @robin?  I have heard speculation about it before but have never found a definitive answer. At your age @Boo, you’ve probably just forgotten …

I have heard speculation about it before but have never found a definitive answer. 🤣

Many thanks @robin it’s good to be back..

Its a variable speed 600 to 3000 rpm. I might as well give it a try.

@robin Yeah that’s the kind I use. Buy it @darrenking and anyone else interested. 👍

@robin
It can be done either way but if it were me, I’d glue the neck on first and then  deal with the finish. Are you going to use different colors on the body and neck?

I’ve still got mine, I haven’t got the hair I had back then though. @robin. Ah, they were the days Robin although I wish I could go back knowing what I know now……… hasn’t someone written a song about that?…   Read more»

Thats looking amazing

@robin Thanks. I think it’s a bit OTT for my taste but I’m really enjoying using these paints. 

That’ll be the truss rod slot learning curve that you’ve routed there.

😆 @robin!

Thanks @Robin. Picked up a nice thick plank of mahogany today. I would really like to make a les Paul replica, bound, in Desert Burst finish, not sure that’ll be next though!

That all looks great boo. You’ve maybe convinced me to do another oiled finish rather than the stained burst and polished lacquer that I’ve been dreaming about. @robin Don’t let this put you off Robin, this is a heck of…   Read more»

@TV101  Nice workspace extension@Robin… won’t be long, and you’ll have “re-purposed” the whole garage There’s plans for change if lockdown is going to continue and I can’t get back to my west coast workshop soon. I’ve got a 6’x4′ hut…   Read more»

I’ve also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. @Robin – have you got a link to that? (Sorry for all the individual posts btw – I’m catching up on your thread, and posting replies as I…   Read more»

I had to take off a bit more than I had intended, due to my first saw cut going a tad too deep. Rubbish @Robin – you’ve carved an easy-access neck joint heel there – great design improvement …

I don’t have any exposed corners on my bench due to it being built in with shelves. So I’ve bolted a beam where my big engineering vice used to be, perfect for clamping to. Nice workspace extension @Robin … won’t…   Read more»
