@tv101 Like anything else there’s a learning curve. I haven’t used a buffer personally but have seen it done and have read about them. The biggest danger aside from burn through is the buffing wheel (sorry but I can’t bring…   Read more»

@markbaily @tv101 @mikeyrjiom Thanks for all your comments. I’m not planning on fitting any pickups, I only play guitar (and I use the word “play” quite loosely) to amuse myself, so I don’t need loud. Now that you’ve pointed out…   Read more»

Thanks @tv101 and @everyone !! I’ve been forgetting to ask this for months 🙂

@tv101

So, if it starts out “as glittery as heck”, what’s the equivalent term for when it’s fully glittered??

I believe it would be “glittery as feck!”

@tv101 “Glittery as a disco glitter ball” ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
 

That’s a new name to me @tv101 OK, she was in a band called Flyleaf but she now has her own band. Her first album “Life Screams” is so good and she has a unique voice that I love. She…   Read more»

I think Thrash Metal was my favorite!

So, you’re going for the natural look on your next 20-odd builds @tv101 🤣🤣 Well, I’ve got some body blanks that are not particularly attractive, wood like poplar. So, when they are guitar shaped, I can make them look beautiful…   Read more»

@tv101 I had a look at the Taylor website and thought the auditorium size looked reasonable. I’ve gone for in between auditorium/bootlegger but just a little shorter. If I can manage to make a bevelled arm rest then I could…   Read more»

@tv101 Interesting that you should post a pic of the inlaid fiddle. It’s a very old technique that was used on instruments in the 16th & 17th Centuries (typical on Baroque instruments). It involves scribing out a groove, with a…   Read more»

@tv101 If I were you I would just bang one out at home, boom! Do it! Then after Covid go do a course and make one with an arm bevel. That way you’ll have one under your belt (it ain’t that…   Read more»

@tv101 I was watching the acoustic course as well for a bit there, then I got completely distracted but intend to get back at it. I don’t really have much interest in building one but I certainly enjoy watching the…   Read more»

curse that non-functioning edit button!

It’s actually non existent, it disappeared a few days ago…

@tv101
My situation is the same as I live alone and for a lot of last year had no daily contact with anyone, so it was only the live streams that kept me going. Plus I learned a lot. 

@TV101  I’ve also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. have you got a link to that? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5PCS-Set-Wood-Carving-And-Engraving-Drill-Bits-Milling-Cutter-Root-Point-Tools-/393055935902?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Here a link to same thing on ebay but from a different seller. They’re listed as wood carving bits….  …[Read more]

Not very gentlemanly … hope she doesn’t see this thread …

@tv101 I never said I was a gentleman. 😝

Rather happy to have received a (bona fide) text from my GP surgery a couple of hours ago, inviting me to make a vaccination appointment.

@tv101 Excellent, good on ya! Are you old or infirm? 😂

Though, perhaps @Boo should take half the blame???

@tv101 @mattbeels #FaileyGuitars It’s not my fault. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t seem to have had any workshopping time of late.  There’s been little foruming time either.  Any spare time has gone into recording stuff for the Bliss sessions, and working my way through the acoustic course lessons instead.   @tv101…   Read more»
