@boo When I priced up flip paint from a panel factor a few years ago it was £200 per half litre so not for the amateur, but I've always wanted to try it. I've got a green bronze electric fiddle which ...

@tv101 curse that non-functioning edit button! It’s actually non existent, it disappeared a few days ago...

Do you have any experience of spraying paint that changes colour as it moves around the light eg green to bronze. I think it's called transitional paint. @rocknroller912 The nearest I’ve come to Cham...

@TV101 I've also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. have you got a link to that? I got them on ebay, I can't see them on there any more, I'll have another look later. I can't vouch for the...

@TV101 I've also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. have you got a link to that? Here a link to same thing on ebay but from a different seller. They're listed as wood carving bits. This ...

I believe that all the logistics behind vaccine distribution is being run by the military. Want a job doing properly, ask the professionals (and I don’t mean Cowley, Bodie and Doyle). 👍 There...

Hello folks Have any of you used one of these or have any thoughts about them? I've looked at reviews and YouTube vids but haven't found anything guitar related about them. I've got an opportunity to ...

Hmmm.... I've already got a couple of orange guitars. Hang on, what's this? Attachment : 9FCF2D7A-2235-4F7E-B4F0-C5238A676B28.jpeg

Hi James, no problem. If you have a Pantone reference you’re trying to match to I’ll take it with me next time I go veneer shopping 😂😂😂😂 Seriously though, I’m afraid th...

Hi James, lots of veneers are available wide than this but in crown cut rather than quarter cut. What species are you looking for? Darren

My plan to build a single cutaway semi-hollow body with laminates is slowly coming together. Imagine thinking that it was called an arch top when I first found this site! Doh! I’m planning to have a g...

Hi James, I would glue the strip into to outer layer of veneer before laminating it if for no other reason than it’s quicker/easier than doing it afterwards. You may need to scrape the inlay strip flu...

@jamesbissett Trying to cut a centre strip on a finished laminate would be very difficult. One of my early mistakes was trying this method on solid wood and the knife goes goes with the grain not when...

I have to say also that it wouldn't look correct as carved arch type instrument never have a centre strip as far as I know. And that’s another problem solved 🙂 Thanks @rocknroller912

I’m open to suggestions, Darren. 😘 But my initial intention was to make an electric guitar that I could take into folk clubs and open mic nights without raising suspicion. Pale, natural woods ...

Is this a good description of the different veneer cuts?

Hi James, yes, pretty good except that the crown cut diagram shows the cut going all the way to the middle of the log. It wouldn’t, as this central section would actually give two lots of quarter cut ...

@darrenking Yup, cedar sounds like an good option, though I'd prefer a pale, yellow style rather than a red cedar if there was a choice. I must confess to a weakness for the look of John Lennon’s Epih...

Lol thanks again everyone! I’m thinking I’m going to have a lot of leveling to do! Much appreciated advice and I hope all is well in the UK!
