@tv1010101 Psydelic 'Neon' brushwork. Has to be sealed with clear before you flatten, otherwise the colours bleed. Warmness E

That's been interesting reading all your stories, so here's mine. I grew up watching my dad making things. My pal's dads would buy things that they needed, my dad would make what he needed if he could...

@robin Nuts and washers shouldn't be too hard to find. If you have calipers measure the diameter of the threaded bit on the pot. Exact metric measurements have a standard pitch size (distance between ...

Mike was finishing the acoustic when I was on my course in 2019 - looked really good then. A year ago i would have said that an acoustic wasn't possible at home..... My Bailey kit is waiting - I need ...

Started playing/stripping guitars apart in 1974 (had a plastic guitar in 1964) Rapier 44 Cemar (now Ibinez) Strat 1978 saw me becoming a Runner/"Go-for" for the Black Sabbath and AC/DC road crews (the...

@darrenking Really enjoyed the video class you did with Mark and hope to try these things sometime. Clearing out the recently departed Chris Eccleshall's workshop I have come accross this heavy vacuu...

@darrenking I take your point about experts completely, think that's how people become experts by debating everything to infinity. After watching the video posted by @tv1010101 I now have more underst...

It’s that time! Ahhhhhhhh......... Soldering! I’ve scuffed up some parts. Attachment : C2E93B5A-960A-47E4-A111-2B6797364257.jpeg Attachment : E4DF5123-7804-4EB9-958F-711D1ED7067F.jpeg ...

just went and sat with mug of tea and grinned inanely for 20 minutes......... @frocesterbill Yep, I did the same thing but at home, I did the online course! Love it.

TV romping up the ratings by triple posting...... ? Think neck carving an first coat of oil finish are two magical bits in a build - I remember my first neck up at Baileys in 2017 - got the first san...

I bought some used pots from ebay, I got into a message discussion with the guy and told him what I was doing, I think he has sent me his entire spares box. So now I've got 20 pots, but no nuts and wa...

Hi everyone, just started my first build, i was cutting the fret slots by hand and some of the slots are off by 1°. Is there a tolerance? Is there anything I can do, or is this fret board destined fo...

Yes its off by 1mm. I measured with a little $9 angle-izer.

Hi Seth, I am afraid that you have to ditch the fretboard and start again. 1mm out will be easily detectable and given how much work the rest of the guitar is going to take it would be crazy to carry ...

I should sort myself out and get some necks made. You’re missing out on the best part @TV1010101 and looking at youkre other work you should sail through the process ??

I would like to ask for some help in planning a build, just to make sure I am getting everything right. I’m a little nervous about this one and I would appreciate any help you can all give me. I thank...

If it's going to be painted, will the paint not hide the neck join? @tv1010101 I would say no really. The joinery would have to be out of this world. The only way I think that would work is if filler...

Based on the pickup he's chosen, I'm guessing that this is going to be a simple rock machine. I'd go with Mahogany for the neck. Mahogany/Ebony is a classic combination, into Alder will be fine. If yo...
