Well it's taken a while but the finish is done at least. I'll get it all assembled in the next day or two. Thanks to this forum I found an old post about using osmo poly x which helped great! Att...

Frets are in and side dots done, next up will be sorting the headstock and carving the neck. Attachment : 20231113_182010.jpg Attachment : 20231113_182016.jpg

@liebe I got one of those hosco fret slot cleaning saws, seems to work ok

@boo Very good point about the clear coating. 👍 Yeah, it’s interesting seeing the products that exist in the overlap between airbrushing and spraying, although I’m guessing you’d ideally have ...

@middaparka There are actually larger airbrushes available, they are like a hybrid of an airbrush and a mini spray gun. I’ll see if I can find one. It would be possible with one of those and definitel...

@boo Many thanks for the info. 👍 I was guessing pretty much along these lines - I just wondered if I was seriously underestimating the capabilities of your (damn nice) airbrush set up. I’m gue...

I wouldn’t spray a whole guitar with this setup, I use a much bigger compressor for that. I also use full size spray guns for covering large areas, such as a whole spray job on a guitar. The compresso...

Apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but I’m considering falling off my wallet for a similar set up with the Bench Vent. Have you been using it for guitar (re-)finishing, or is it just for deta...

Solid!!

@wolframmalukker hey hey!!!! I’m actually a bit farther east and about 80 minutes from BG. I live very close to the geographical center of Kentucky. Eight-five miles from Louisville, Lexington, & ...

While the finishing of the bass takes ages due to the weather I decided to get on with the tele build. I've roughed out the neck and today was radiusing the board and doing fret markers. Attachme...

@wolframmalukker sounds like you need to clear some space, I'd try and just focus on one, get it over the finish line then the next and so on. I find it can get to stressful spreading yourself to thin...

Picked this up again today, did some looking and measuring again, and I have settled on a back access shape. Now I can finally move forward on the body, and hopefully that'll push me into tackling the...

HA! Imagine finding a guy from the US on a UK forum, who's 30 minutes east of you. I'm over in Bowling Green, @rathius . That guitar looks awesome and the signatures don't detract from it-I see a lot ...

Well that’s not going to blow away is it?!!!!👍🤣🤣 Good solid piece of work😃🎸

That is one solid bench @boo. Impressive. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

@boo That is a solid bench!

Looks good @Boo!

I’ve finally got completely fed up of using wonky, cobbled together, sagged in the middle, unflat so-called work benches. I’m finally building a half decent but solid woodworking bench, it’s not the b...

@liebe Looking good!
