I was bored so I decided to give @Tej's suggestion a try. It took well over an hour and the fretboard will need a little more glue & dust in places but I've ended up with a usable fretboard (altho...

The only Radian cutter I use is the 4 flute double bearing for the body shape. It does a great finish, well happy and worth the dosh.

Not sure how plausible that is at all but no chance I can afford to use that grade of hardware on every build @tej Yeah it’s not a cheap hobby this if you want decent hardware, there aren’t really an...

Got the body in primer. I’ll let it settle and cure for a few days and then I’ll start sanding it flat. Attachment : 7DF3B7DB-3838-4B09-8A2B-3301FBDAB1AE.jpeg Attachment : F5B62796-242C-40...

It’s great @cheesewhisk and looks like something similar I built to do the same job.. Attachment : F506732D-4FEC-48EC-BE85-A0F08F4DE071.jpeg Attachment : DB8AE044-A7F8-4925-9E28-3687973A7...

get the feeling I might find things I didn’t know I needed from there 😆 You most certainly will. Great catalogue, and so much easier than trying to find a specific bit in a shop! My experie...

I'll take your word for it unless someone wants to chip in to argue with you, We don't argue with @mattbeels. Not any more. Someone did once, but then, one dark night, they disappeared and have neve...

It confused me too to begin with 😀 You don't have to use both bearings at once - use whichever best suits the job you're doing and where you have the template. Here's how I do it (the more ex...

The Mirka extraction hose is worth getting - same length as the mains lead and nice and flexible - plug hose and mains into vacuum and the extraction works really well……

I’ve got an electric Mirka - really like it - very controllable sanding.

There is one amazing sander with dust extraction to help keep the dust out of your workshop. This one of mine is superb, Mirka orbital sander. It’s pneumatic but electric ones are available if you don...

@steveh It's not just the bike I'm trying to protect. At the moment, there's a thin layer of sawdust over pretty much everything (my garage tools, for example) in the garage and I'd rather there was...

@steveh Have to admit that I don’t do much power sanding these days after finding out what a mess it makes. I use mostly hand planes and scrapers. If I have to power sand I do it outside.

Thanks for the welcome, everybody. I will set up a project page once I get going. I've got something in mind already 🙂

@boo I agree with you on that as all this stuff does the same to bike paintwork so I don’t use any of it. Washing up liquid is about the strongest thing I use. Brake fluid is a great paint stripper by...
