Hmmmmm - tempting. Got a link @Boo?

I have the Mirka roundy kit. It is still manual sanding, but you can hook it up to a vacuum cleaner and make your sanding work virtually dust free. I am amazed how good it actually works and , while i...

@robin yeh I did wonder, bit more room to play on a solid body. But, I think just rounding off the hard edges etc will look spot on.

@nsj Not sure on the bridge, being a hollow body means less to work with I'd imagine. Maybe if the recess was a particular shape or that, or maybe even just a touch larger then the edges rounded off...

@boo would you like my address to send a barrel to? 🤣

@boo I’ve got four huge whisky barrels here that I don’t know what to do with yet but I was obviously considering attempting a guitar build of some kind. It doesn’t sound like it will be much fun th...

@robin maybe a bit of an arse to work with some of the nicer woods are in my experience, looks really nice though Not sure on the bridge, being a hollow body means less to work with I'd imagine. May...

@robin This is s cool project, it’s looking superb. The thing with the bridge is fine, it’s something I’ve seen before and doesn’t take anything away from the build. I’ve got four huge whisky barrels...

The drawing looks great. I hope to see results after you build this. 😊

Mostly fettling today with a bit of routing thrown in. Had to use the pickup template raised to get over the neck. Then as I forgot to do a small channel in the side before gluing up I had to work out...

@nsj 😂😂😂😂

@robin Yeh my titan workshop hoover connects fine to my aldi doody! 🤣

Mask? Hasn't covid past now? 🤣 Tbh, I'd probably have a mirka in a flash if I had the money!

@nsj Yes, it's oak and mahogany. The oak was a whisky barrel top, horrible to work with, I'll not be doing again. I think the sunken bridge looks not too bad, what would you suggest to make it look i...

@robin Is that an oak top with mahogany back? Regarding the bridge, I've seen people make a feature of it so it looks like you sank it on purpose. Might be something to consider. Ps the "F holes"...

Fast forward to now. Something went wrong when I was fitting the neck/body joint. I got a good clean joint but I must have altered the neck angle and height while I was doing it. So I've had to sink t...

Have accidentally deleted my entire "Robin's build #003" post, I thought I just resume from where I was. Maybe a short recap first. This is where it started. Attachment : 20210630_195020.jpg ...

@boo It’s fair enough using Aldi sanders or similar, crack on. I use a cheap Draper random orbital sander that I bought a few years ago when I was painting my boat. I can attach my henry hoover to ...

@nsj Yeah I understand. I managed to get mine for £390 though so I was quite happy. It’s still a lot of money for a sander but not all sanders are made equal. 😆 I used to be a vehicle refinis...

I looked at them a while ago after watching one of Mark's vids, the over £500 price tag put a stop to any odeas of actually buying one! Ooft! I'm getting on fine with my aldi special though 🤣...
