Posted by: @tv101 Sorry to all - I had a last minute unexpected obstacle to my participation, so couldn't make it. Well done @rocknroller912 @robin @koendb for managing to get out just before @jamesb...

@clinton Damn! That is nice! Excellent work, it looks so inviting. 👍

Spent a couple of hours sanding this batch of clear coat flat, ready for flow coats. Attachment : 3AD2D044-4752-4A82-B442-3487C4972F3E.jpeg Attachment : DD689EF2-0340-4A2D-9FA1-09AC6B621E0...

Decided to build close to a classic 62 design minus the skunk stripe truss rod method. I had a full scale plans of this for years and never attempted til now. Glad I did. It is for a friend who is alw...

My favourite song today:

@boo Hi thanks, will try. Makes sense and I think I understand it a bit more. Just need more patience I suppose to get it level flat.

Posted by: @clinton No I am not because I dye it. If you apply sanding sealer, doesn’t it seal it to where you could not stain thereafter? @clinton I would fill the grain, sand it back, raise the g...

My favourite song today, saw this guy several times, great guitar player.

Hi Ok, I know Swamp Ash for many is a go to lumber for guitar buiding. I do not know exactly why? It is heavy, impossible to level sand and I find it’s grain pattern to be just meh for the cost of ti...

Bliss this week was almost abandoned due to a lack of @jamesbisset. 🙁 Hope there are no announcements in the pub next week .... "is there a Mr James B Say in the pub this evening" ... or "mess...

Something cheerful and uplifting from me today. A slightly different version featured on Bliss last week 😉

@koendb First of all I’ll say that the neck looks amazing, great finish. I can’t help with an answer for you unfortunately, I have never used shellac so I can’t offer any tips. It is something I want ...
