@boo what makes the Mirka so great? I know Ben Crowe really loves them too. They're a bit pricey, but I'm a sucker for a Guchi tool.

Next bit. I’m not really happy with the internal perimeter shading on the back, I feel it isn’t dark enough. I think I’ll use blue instead of red. It will actually appear purple as the light reflects ...

I am so impressed with this Mirka sander and the disks, Wow 🤩 I sanded this entire guitar in about 15 mins, it would normally take an hour or two. Why have I not bought one of these sooner? E...

Love the spalting- where do you source the wood? @deej Thanks man, I got all the woods from @markbailey He has quite a good stock you know. 👍

That tele look awesome @boo. Love the spalting- where do you source the wood?

I'll start practicing my surprised face @jonhodgson 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@boo, it's ok we'll just pretend we haven't seen it before. I'll start practicing my surprised face😮

@usadave good looking job so far

From what I've seen of your spraying work, you have a definite skill there. I agree with you there @TV101. I think I need a crash course lesson at yours (or mine) when all this blows over...I think y...

Bloody hell guys you’ve been busy. It’s going to take me weeks to catch up on all the chat..

That statement is missing a “don’t” somewhere ... 🤣 🤣

Rather you than me @tv101. I’ve always had the luxury of sitting in the mix with a band...hides a multitude of sins (bum notes). I can’t sing for toffee neither.
