Posted by: @rocknroller912 Interesting point you made about paint being too wet and causing problems. Could this happened with a spray can if it’s not been shaken enough and the solvent/paint mix is ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I don’t feel so bad now I know that even professional painters get crazy paving sometimes. It happened to me during the summer when I was giving my lathe a re spray. Had to...

Very interesting. I'm not a painter but want to eventually do this sort of thing. I didn't even know this could happen. It is unfortunate but very helpful for someone like me to see and to see the pr...

Nice @Russ! Must be a nice feeling to own a proper place to build guitars..Are you going to make cabinets and drawers and such in there too? I am also setting up my workshop at the moment. But is n...

@rocknroller912 I don't have any fixed power in the shed. I have to run a cable from the house......maybe one day I'll put some armoured cable in. I've got a little heater but I can only put it on whe...

@russ you should definitely get an electrician to install power in your workshop, it will make life a lot easier. Using extension leads is ok for now but it’s such a pain.

Posted by: @rocknroller912 @russ Your work space is looking good but you have picked the hardest time of year to start. Your right @rocknroller912. Timing hasn't been kind. I'm hoping for some nice ...

Hello Peeps, It's been a long slow journey with many hurdles to get over........one of them being no space to build in. I've been on this Forum for over a year now..... still no guitar wood cut. The ...

Posted by: @tej @russ Love it, are you tooled up so to speak or do you need to go shopping before you can start the build? Have you designed what you plan to make, I don’t recall seeing any plans? T...

Posted by: @tej Didn’t use power tools, just not used to hard woods and used an incompetently small pilot, clearly not the strongest of screws either mind 🙂 @tej My rule of thumb: whatever s...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Looks like you’ve had a life time supply of bad luck all in one build @rocknroller912 I can honestly say I every mistake has been down to trying to rush something when I s...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I always do a dry run fitting parts before any finishing to avoid things like broken screws @rockneoller912 same here, all the times when things go right, that’s what happ...

Some more fancy back masking and it’s now ready for primer, again! Attachment : 1A592D98-FE62-499F-A348-EB693600061E.jpeg Attachment : 67D90A9A-7862-43B9-AD14-BD588BC8E6AF.jpeg Attac...

There is an easy way to get broken screws out @rocknroller912 Worked a treat, Mark suggested the same. If you overlook where the finish is a bit destroyed where I had to twist the pickup mount off it...

What you got planned next? You know you want to. 😉👍🎸 @boo next will be a 7 string, I borrowed one off someone a week or so ago and really enjoying it. There will be a lot more...

@tej Great job man. Feels good doesn’t it? Glad you enjoyed it. What you got planned next? You know you want to. 😉👍🎸

Back atcha @tej - It is a simple fact that without you and the others none of this would exist. So thanks to you and everyone else here!!

@wayne_f, @koendb, @robin, @boo, @Bpower Well, I'm enjoying the fact that you are working ahead of me..lol, it gives me some extra confidence to know that as we go, we hit little hiccups - like fillin...

Here's an overdue progress update video:

@markbailey That was probably part of the problem yesterday. Today I had better support but was still having trouble. I figured out what was wrong and how it happened and then fixed the problem. I'll...
