Ah I did buy these quick release thingies for my little compressor, it is super handy, I dont understand why they dont add these as a standard 🙂

@koendb @boo Umhhh, you might need to chime in on this. We need your advice. I am about to pull the trigger on spray guns real soon as well.

now, that made me laugh. Many thanks for that. Having said that, the Americans in the Large Scale Plane forum do tend to say they stick a fork in their kit at the end of the work. I rather put it i...

My favourite song today is one I play with one of my bands, the John Spijker Trio.

2nd update. Glued the 3 part neck together and cut out the groove for the truss rod. Attachment : DSCN5712.JPG Attachment : DSCN5713.JPG Next step will be to box in the truss rod with...

Today I have put some coats of wood hardener on the top wood as spalted maple (or any spalted wood) can be quite brittle. So no spectacular progress today, but it does give an impression of how it wil...
