PLEASE DO NOT USE WD40 FOR ANYTHING. Thanks for that @boo. That explains the flaking paint on a refurb I did a few years ago. My partner’s dad was a watchmender. She knew that cleaning a watch might...

Last time I wanted to route a trussrod channel, I used the guiding rail from the router itself. While this did a perfect job on my first neck, but on the last one, I had some spots where the router bi...

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...
