How do you make a Canadian hobby guitar builder happy you ask? He goes home for lunch and gets a package from the bailey workshop delivered. 🙂 Attachment : 20210705_132849.jpg Attachment : ...

So, for the sake of all the other newbies on here, can someone please gives us instructions on making an oily rag? lint free? Cotton? Acrylic? Three-in-one? Engine oil? Where does WD40 fit in? @james...

I had an oily rag once but I had to let her go. She was just too… oily… and raggy, is that even a word?!?

Don't use a WD40 rag when you should be using an oily rag, the pros will know you're an amateur because you're confusing WD40 with oil and either sneer or laugh.. or both at the same time (would that ...

My favourite song today;

Thanks lads, I’ll be back soon. Just need to nip out.

@boo other think I meant to ask is that I have some Isopropanol alcohol but not any denatured alcohol which seems to be suggested is best, what’s your experience?

@boo thank you for the advice, I don’t have an air compressor to hand not the money to buy one right now, not the space for another big tool. What would be the lowest spec worth parting with money for...

@Boo that looks amazing man!

@tej Not yet I’m planning to try it this afternoon if the monsoon rain stays away.

@tej I think using water in the rubbing down process is essential or there will be particles collecting on the abrasive that will tear the sealer out. It’s important to check the abrasive paper as you...

@jamesbisset I’m presuming this isn’t a serious question!?

@jamesbisset Im rubbing down a hickory axe handle with Danish oil today so if you like I can send you a selection of free ones in various stages of oil.

I consider myself fairly handy. I’ve stripped down and rebuilt bicycles, ripped out and installed kitchens, bodged innumerable guitars… but I’ve never, ever had an oily rag. And yet every set of DIY i...

@rocknroller912 thanks for the advice, I’m a little wary of using water on the off chance it sneaks in anywhere to be honest though I guess we’re not talking a lot here! The product instructions I’ve ...

@robin yeah time isn’t an issue here, I spent longer finishing the last kit guitar I did than ours taken to get this one from scratch to where I am now. I’ve been a little premature with my questions ...

@tej I’m presuming you’d mix it with the later coats of dye once you have the colour pretty much deep enough for your tastes, I think that once you're happy with the colour then there no need to add...

Thanks @boo!
