@russ @tv101 @boo Have you ever run your cable out to your shed on a very wet day and have you found that it's safe enough? I've moved on little from my basic extension cable now. I've fitted a wa...

My extension cable is on a large reel and has a trip switch built into it. I would advise everyone to use one of these, especially when using power outside or when the cable is outside. Safety first.

??️?️???? Hello Peeps, I've watched Mark's Video on Essential Tools which are all mostly freely available but I'm looking for some thoughts on buying some of the Precision Tools to make ...

My advice about tools is to get the best ones that you can afford - as you need them. What you spend in money will usually translate to a saving in time or stress. Depends what you have more of or val...

@markbailey Thanks Mark. I thought Stewmac looked good quality. I wondered if some of the cheaper versions that I saw were not as good. I guess the old saying of "you get what you pay for" tends to be...

Stewmac is superb no doubt but the VAT (being in Italy) and the shipping costs would almost double the prices. I have purchased from Guitars & Woods and find that their quality good, their prices ...

Stewmac cost me import tax around 50-80chf each time I limited my purchases from overseas on the specialised tools only. And I have a big problem finding finishing products (here in Switzerland) I hav...

Yep G&W are good. There is also don’t forget www.guitarmaking.co.uk neither...chisels, router bits, Rasps and now a guitar makers knife...plus kits for builds (what more do ya want!)

StewMac is the best but for us in the UK and anywhere else in the world, we have to pay all of those extra charges. There are some good specialist luthier/guitar builders shops in the UK, which I’ll g...

@robin That gouge looks like it was used by an Egyptian brain surgeon

Cheers @tej. They do have some nice tools. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

@russ I’ve used tools from a variety of companies, ones I’ve had from Crimson Guitars are my favorite. They’re expensive but a delight to use and so far have been totally happy with them!

Just been shopping to Lidl and came home with a bag of chips, a box of washers and a Japanese pull saw (double sided). I don’t know how good or bad this saw will be but for £6.99 it’s definitely worth...

@koendb firstly I had the iron too hot and ended up with scorch marks although these were mainly superficial and sanded out ok but my perception of where the bends should be were quite a way out and t...
