@koendb No. it is not a kit. I wrote out a check list of all the parts I needed and went and chose all the individual parts. To be honest, I don't think I saved a penny by me doing all the work instea...

Any ideas? Yeah @boo. You could try using a brush, I heard that they’re pretty easy to handle. 😉

I'm just looking for some suitable air-powered brushes now ... @TV101 – more commonly known as a beard...

@darrenking I do need to figure out how to insulate a shed/outdoor building properly so I can convert it into a proper spray booth with explosion proof extraction fan. I don’t just want to pack insula...

I just sold this 4kw three phase blower on eBay! It could have run several hundred thousand air powered brushes! @darrenking 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆&#...

Awesome, is this a kit you get from guitarmaking or from somewhere else?At some point in time, I also want to build an acoustic guitar. Looking forward for your next posts!

Looking forward to seeing it @bpower. 👍🤔 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Attachment : parts 1.jpg Attachment : parts 2.jpg To some this just looks like a pile of wood... to us this is a new born guitar in raw form. Now that I think I have all the pieces I need, ...

@tej Yes it is transparent, the stuff I've used is called "Sand and Seal". This is the first time I've used it, so can't vouch for its suitability or longevity yet. It's water based and I've tried add...

Neck looks beautiful BTW! 😲 👍

Fingers x'd 🤞 The dent will raise as the water dries - sometimes it takes a few goes... I'm sure whatever is left will easily sand out or come out when you round over the end.

because in a Lap Steel the neck is never touched. I think the problem is stability of the neck ( twisting /warping ). But perhaps someone with more experience can discard my concern?

Thanks @koendb! I've never done anything like this, so I'll try Danish Oil on some scrap wood that was left over the build to try it on, unless I'll get any other more suggestions from someone more ex...

Hi Everyone! I did some experiments during the lockdown and built up a lap stell from some scrap wood I had in my cellar. Started to be only for fun, but I kinda like what came out! I was looking onl...

@koendb @tej @russ Thanks for your kind wishes and thoughts, I'm sure Gina is going to fine after her treatment. Yes the grain filler is to try and get as smooth a surface as I can before lacquering...

In my experience with woodworking, the "v" that you file in the fret slot is there to make it so there are no "unsupported" grain if you need to remove the fret. The fact that the fret ends are pushed...

I’m yet to see or indeed hear any proof of anything like that from wood choice to construction techniques etc that make a human detectable difference to the amplified sound from the pickups. On the o...

so key question from your second build, what was the difference? Good question 🙂I did pay a lot more attention to details and used a slot depth gauge to make sure all the frets where slotted at the s...
