@markbailey Hi to you both and a belated Happy New Year. I’m pleased to read that things a picking up for you. Still hoping to get a workshop day with you sometime.

@somethingnicer yeh just something I noticed with mine but mine isn't an actual dremmel so was wondering if yours was because that would make it a bit crap for routering. Last thing you'd need is the ...

@nsj oh I see…. Hmm I haven’t noticed that myself.

@somethingnicer no I mean the chuck in the extension, it's not as stable as the chuck in the actual tool. Like it has a bit of play compared to the chuck in the actual tool which is fairly rigid.

@nsj well that’s kind of my point I think. The extension isn’t stable in the base because the nose threads don’t fit.

@SomethingNicer is the extension as stable as the actual dremmel? Like in my other brand tool the extension where you insert the bits has a tiny bit of play whereas the actual chuck of the tool is sol...

real nice 👍

Is there a nose thread adapter for the dremel 225 and the precision router base from stewmac/elmer? I have the Elmer precision router base (). As far as i can tell it's identical to the stewmac vers...

Hi All, have just joined and I'm seeking advice for finishing an old bass of mine. Glad to meet you all, Tony 😊

Happy new year to You both, Mark and Carol, and I hope that 2025 is your best year for quite some time. Hope to hear from you soon Darren

Hi @teesee, I'm not an expert on spraying or the pluses and minuses if different types of lacquer. Wish I was! On my last builds I used a brush on melamine lacquer I had decent results with and it wa...

@liebe Yeah, I figured it might be problematic on top of wax oil but I've a few spare water slide decals I made up for a previous guitar so I'll give your suggestion a try. I've got to take Mrs Tesee ...

Hi Tony, The short answer is to test your finishes on a piece of scrap first. I've used Osmo on a couple of my builds, but not in combination with a lacquer. I'm not an expert, but my understanding i...

Hi All, first post on here. I've a Yamaha BB4 NF4iii - what a mouthful! 😝 I bought it from Ebay a few years ago and it was the natural lacquered finish but was dinged up and scratched in plac...

Tidy work! And that top is very nice.
