Hi Bil, yeah, I had one of them until some bugger nicked it because it worked so well!!

Not essential by any means - and I rarely use the "both at once" option on my guitars @TV1010101 it’s the only option when you put in humbuckers that are out of phase ala Peter Green/Gary Moore. I ...

@tv1010101 Gorgeous guitar! Very minimalist! I am coming over all zen!! These are the little switches I mentioned and I've got four more boxes of them!! Attachment : IMG_1560.JPG Attachment ...

Yikes John, a whole 2mm? Whoa! Firstly, I think you need to reconsider your use of the word disaster! Lol! What you have here is a slightly sub-optimal tolerance occurance! I define this as something ...

@robin I think it's a bit like greenheart which is used in sea water piers because it doesn't rot.

@tv1010101 Yes, your wood database link sums it up and agrees with my own findings on the keruing. So not suitable for musical instruments. I'm not going to use it on the boat either with it's stick...

Hi John, I haven't watched this video but I don't think you'd need to run through from 80g every time you sharpen something. If so then you have left it far too long between visits to your sharpening ...

@robin To sharpen an 'incannel' gouge (internal bevel): You can use a section broomstick to make a round sharpening stone by sticking wet and dry to it - if it is really bad I use a dremel with round ...
