@darrenking Thanks I will just go for the disc on its own and use strips of 80 grit for sanding as I already have a 50 metre roll. Did realise the sanding discs are so expensive. £50 is a good price c...

Hi Rocknroller, I'll check the price but I think the 760mm diameter P80 self adhesive disks come in at around £30 each. You could just stick on strips if you prefer, you get quite a lot of sandpaper o...

@darrenking Yes that makes sense from the diagram. I will need an 80 grit disc please but if you leave it loose I can attach it myself. Thanks Bill

Hi Rocknroller, I have been thinking about the best way to machine this dish for you and from a cost point of view the most economical would be to make it 600mm square but for the dish machining to be...

@darrenking Thanks 650mm will be ok and I would need a sanding disc as well please. I live in Annan SW Scotland DG12. If ordering through M&C they have my full details in the members area. I've or...

Hi, ok, no problem. Let me check with M&C how they want to deal with the radius dish order as we haven’t discussed pricing for this product yet. My standard size would be 650mm diameter circular ...

@darren Thanks I will check the site, see which ones I need and put in an order today. My mitre box was from Tonetech which is I think similar to Stew Mac but didn't have any templates included. Also ...

Hi Rocknroller, Yes, 75mm wide and yes, I can send a drilling template to help you position the holes in your jig if this would be useful. Just order the template(s) you want from Mark and Carol and I...

@darrenking Thanks that would be helpful

I might even have a section of prototype or reject template that I can send you to use to align the holes. I’ll have a look tomorrow. Darren

@darrenking Thanks Darren I will check mine tomorrow but this sounds good. Drilling holes in mine shouldn't be a problem.

Hi Rocknroller, the template is 75mm wide (same as Stewmac templates) but it would need you drill holes in your existing jig to correspond to the position of rows of holes in my templates. Are you abl...

@darrenking I'm thinking of buying some of the fret scale templates that you've made but am not sure if they would fit into the set up that I already have. Can you tell me how wide they are please. I ...

I saw the mortice being cut live, that was awesome! But had to catch up later on the rest. Great job M&C!

In response etc These are the low watt density pads I use for heat curing laminated sides. I don't bother with a thermostat controller for these as the temperature is only ever going to reach about 95...

Hi Mike, Thank you for your comments and I'm pleased that you seem to understand some of the advantages that this construction offers. I would never claim that it is better than using solid, but it is...

Hi Darren Watched your course on the website today and all I can say is wow. Absolutely brilliant way of producing a guitar with sustainable resources that can be really spectacular and it sounds as i...

I have now made the external mould for the guitars and, this will make you laugh (!) I realised that I had pressed all the sides at -4mm all round! Not to worry, the width was pretty much adjusted for...

@darrenking Now, what can I do until then.....? I'm pretty dang sure you'll think of something! Awesome work Darren...
