I have a very special set of skills, I will hunt you down, I will find you and i will steal a barrel! 🤣 🤣 New Liam Neison film that lol

@robin - completely agree with the other comments about the sunken bridge - it's a "quality feature", not a mis-measurement. I've seen it on proper branded guitars (decent, expensive brand, IIRC, I ju...

Top Tip @Boo ... Before you plan what to do with them, empty them first.

@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...

@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 ...

Yes I am, wonderful stuff and 99% the reason why this system works so good, I think.

@koendb Yeah, I’ve used a lot of stuff like that, all shapes and sizes, it’s all about keeping the dust down. Whether sanding car body filler or sanding wood, getting the dust into a vacuum instead of...

@tv101 Errrrrrrmmmmm………. Sorry, I forgot to mention the VAT 😬 It’s still worth a look though as you get quite a few Abranet discs and hose with it. ”Oh well that’s alright then!” I hear you s...

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...

@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 🤣...

@tv101 No, not really. When I replace my big compressor, it will be around the £1k mark. The size of compressor I will need for all my air tools, means that “half decent” will just not cut it. This sa...

Couldn't you have bought a half-decent replacement compressor for the cost of that Mirka kit?? It's still on my "on day I might justify it" list. In the meantime, I make do with the arm-powered recta...
