@nsj Ahh, the mad scientist is at it again! 😆 Great idea Neil. There would never be anything new if people didn’t experiment, this is a crazy one but they are the best. Keep it up. 🤘...

@liebe it'll either be extra quiet or extra noisy lol

@nsj utter madness, I absolutely love it! I supposed shielding the electrics shouldn't be a problem...

@nsj This has been a really fascinating one to watch Neil. Cheers 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@liebe Thanks for the link Dan, now I’ve looked I remember having a browse through the tops a while ago, memory not what it used to be!!🤣🤣

Hey @brie This is a link to the tops, nothing secret squirrel!

I was fortunate to be able to grab a CNC machine a couple of years ago (a friend was upgrading and so selling his old machine). It's really just a router but controlled by the computer rather than a...

Think it's a (very) occasional special sale thing @brie. I managed to grab some a few years ago when they had a clear out of old bits and pieces. I now have way more tops than I'm ever going to use t...

@liebe Great work Dan, you got a real production line going there!! Really like the woods you’re using for the tops, would like to know more about Mark and Carol’s discount tops bin (don’t see anythin...

Cheers @Clinton, plenty left to do yet but the limba one recovered it's neck this morning

Beautiful pieces!

Hey @boo Thanks for your comments. It's only at grain filling stage at the moment. The z-poxy really brings out the figure in the wood and acts as a sealer to protect the stained top. As I said above,...

Thanks @tv101 I love what an oiled finish brings out in the wood, but I'd been looking for a finish closer to the qualities of lacquer, but without the need for spraying as it's just not an option in...

@liebe You appear to have been very successful finishing this guitar, it looks really well. I’ve never used that product but I might just try it after seeing this, I’m always up for trying new things....

I don't recall seeing that finishing approach before - what prompted you to try that? It's certainly looking good in the pics. I've never finished a build without a similar opportunity presenting ...

@jamesbisset. Little tips for looking after your super glue, James. Keep it in the fridge inside a sealed plastic bag upright so all the glue sits in the bottom of the bottle. Before you put it in t...

Dear reader, it was too thick to go through the nozzle. I took the nozzle off and managed to squeeze out a glutinous blob, but I’m not going to risk that on my headstock or inlays.

The most important word in that sentence is "old". But be careful because (current company excepted) some old things are apparently valued. 😉

@liebe Thanks Dan. It looks like black superglue is thick. 03a describe theirs as medium thick. I’ve just ordered a 20g bottle from because £6.95. Small Wonder says, “Black Superglue tends to be thi...
