Do they have a shop @nsj? One of my sons has just moved over to Angus so I could pop in on the way. 🎶🙏🎸🙂

@tyreman he's really sound too, very helpful.

@nsj I've been thinking of buying a kit from him for a couple of years now, seems really good for the money.

@tv101 Congrats on new skills! If deciding to make a correct bang, you also have to create some sticky smoke. I did that once, by accidentally dropping a screwdriver into a Twin Reverb under power. &...

Got a place local to me, modulus amplification, he does various kits including a plexi clone. Waiting on him modding it more to be able to fit a regular effects loop so I can use delay pedals in it th...

Coming along very nicely @tyreman. It'll be very interesting to see how this prototype stands the test of time. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

I've been busy! carved the f-hole and the shape on the top, drilled all the holes needed, including the ones inside, still a few jobs to do but it's getting close. Attachment : top done, almost fi...

hollowed it out, on the real one I'll do this first before gluing on the wings, it'd be much easier, it's now a lot lighter weight and sounds pretty good when you tap it. Attachment : body hollowe...

@marcel gorgeous spalting. Like the horns and body shape.

Today I worked on the body. Cut out the shape with a jig saw (my bandsaw hasn't enough power to cut through a body blank, especially when it's treated with wood hardener). Attachment : image.png ...

Then I made the end graft from a cut off from the neck blank and two pieces of ebony veneer. Attachment : PXL_20230303_141452800.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230303_150623921.jpg 🙏&#x...

@koendb Right, quick run down. You should buy the compressor with biggest tank you can afford and with the highest CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating. Also, stay clear of HVLP spray guns if you are b...
