Congratulations @russ! Sounds like you’re getting a handle on the storage, now get to building! Looking forward to seeing it come together…

So the edit button works?!? Awesome, now where’s that @tv101?

Yup, Crystalac is the way forward. Long cure time though… You lucky devils in the UK even have a distributor.

Great job @tej! For the truss rod cover my suggestion is to match the headstock so it blends in and doesn’t obscure that nice looking wood!

@tej I like to make the truss rod cover from wood to match the headstock. If you're going to have a scaled down headstock shape, maybe it would look good in a contrasting wood.

Posted by: @tej Right, so I’ve fixed the screw and the electrics, turns out it was down to a bad earth connection where I had a glut of wires coming together. Decided to take everything out and rewir...

@russ I think that plastic cases will be fine with silica gel if you’ve got it. I’ve been storing mine like that for years and don’t have any problems. The part most likely to rust is the Chuck, so yo...

Cheers @rocknroller912. I meant to say that the power tools are in their original plastic cases.... not the cardboard box. Do you think they would be fine sitting on a shelf in their plastic case or s...

@russ Silica gel is good in an enclosed space. I don’t keep original boxes as they are only bits of cardboard and I don’t see the point of being precious about stuff like that as it’s never going to b...

Hello again Peeps, Does anyone have any thoughts or advice about storing my power tools and hand tools in my shed over the winter months. All the power tools still have there original cases. There's ...

Thank you @robin. Your right, if I manage to keep it tidy and get creative with the storage space, I think I could be fairly comfortable in there. I've got a nice wee space outside the shed that I can...

@russ The offer of a friend's workshop hasn't quite materialised yet so inspired by@robin, I've decided to convert my wee 8'x6' garden shed into my workspace. Congratulations on your new workspace,...

Thanks @koendb. It is nice to finally have a space to work in even if it is tiny. The pictures make it look a lot bigger than it is.......and I'm sure it won't stay clean for very long. I will have ...

Nice @Russ! Must be a nice feeling to own a proper place to build guitars..Are you going to make cabinets and drawers and such in there too? I am also setting up my workshop at the moment. But is n...
