That is definitely the guitar for someone who's in something a Sweet tribute band, it's Glamtastic, doubly so now it's been buffed.

"remembering opportunity" is a great way to look at it. Too be honest I think it was more my fault going too deep than it was the poor tapes fault.

Luckily there’s plenty room to fix it. had a good day all round really. Truss rod fitting is the next job on the list.

If I am seeing this correctly then it looks as if you’re taking some big bites with the router there... Attachment : image.jpeg I’m talking about that island of wood in the middle, how deep are...

Way, way too deep. There was a hump in the middle I hadn't really noticed until I was taking those big bites and that's what kicked the headstock off the tape I think. I did stop and started over taki...

@darrenking I have also tried pressing a few sides with a single, thicker cross grain layer of mahogany in the centre as this is closer to the construction used in the originals. This works equally w...

@darrenking The bagpress system looks great, it gives me all sorts of ideas I'd like to try out in guitar building (says the guy who has still not got started on testing finishes, let alone build 1). ...

I'm still happily listening to 1970s OGWT shows ... I saw them about 10 years ago @tv101. They still had it. 👍😁 🎸🙂🎶🙏

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment...... another band that should have been much more popular. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

My favourite song today:

Looking at videos online it can be hard to tell which way the wheel is going, but the side towards you going down seems to be the norm.That's certainly how the StewMac one works (it's in the instructi...

Pleased that you are enjoying some black nectar. Lovely drink! I’m off for kip now whilst the dogs can still be moved from my side of the bed. Give it another 30 minutes and their weight increase by a...

@darrenking Fair point it’s whatever people are comfortable with. My polisher is used for honing gouges mostly so it has to run away from the cutting edge and gives a mirror finish. Just starting my t...

It’s also down to where the main point of contact is. I would usually aim to have this below the centre line of the shaft, so spinning down makes sense. My grinding wheels spin away from me and take a...

Hi Rocknroller,Yes, I’m still up as well!! (It’s a holiday long weekend, I have no school tomorrow!) I think this is a matter of personal preference and practice. With the wheel spinning down in front...

@boo @darrenking Having another look at the video and maybe I’m missing something but I’ve always done polishing with the wheel running away from me as when it running towards you it tends to pull the...

It is ridiculously quiet! Stupidly so! That’s servo motors for you. Darren
