@boo Ive still got lots of clearing to do, some more wall hanging space to create to clear the floor and a small stand for the bandsaw that I was gifted. Just need to get full hand use after the op.

At least I can walk on the floor. This is mine today. @rocknroller912 Yeah that’s very tidy compared to mine. I’m getting there though, it’s looking better already. Another couple of hours and it wil...

@boo Oh dear you have a problem to deal with. I thought my workspace was bad but I don’t feel so bad now. At least I can walk on the floor. This is mine today. Attachment : 15AD94F6-5B55-4167-9B94...

A wee trip to the dump @boo. 😂 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Some of you may remember from last year that I needed to give my workshop a good tidy so it was useable. Well this year is no different. It’s a beautiful day here, blue sky and it feels quite warm. I ...

@boo but I’m not sure I’m a good enough painter for guitar shows just yet I think it's pretty clear that you're more than good enough.

@mattbeels @boo Electronics buffs in the UK use the term “ground” it’s recognised fairly world wide. Professional stage sound equipment has a ground lift switch to counter the effect of so many bits o...

@boo Thanks for the tips on Aquacoat. I bought some but haven’t tried it yet, so I’ve got a clue about how to work with it now. If you bought it from Tonetech you could ask them for a trade account an...

Yes! @mattbeels Yeah...... 💪 I learned something about wiring. 😝

@boo Yes!

Yes, sorry. You guys say earth, right? @mattbeels Yeah. So, so long as all the “earths” go to the back of the volume pot and there is another wire soldered from the pot to the metal tab that is screw...

@boo Yes, sorry. You guys say earth, right? Attachment : image.jpeg

cover that connection with shielding paint and solder the wire to ground, easy peesy. @mattbeels When you say solder to ground, do you mean to the back of the volume pot?

@boo Get something like this and solder a wire to it and heatshrink the connection. Then screw it into the (already shielded) cavity, cover that connection with shielding paint and solder the wire to ...

I prefer to screw a (pre-wired) metal tab in the cavity and slather the paint all over that and connect it to the common ground. @mattbeels I don’t know how to do this but it sounds like a good idea.

@boo I never had a problem with it not sticking, the 'hardest' part is the long drying time and getting enough coats for good continuity. I prefer to screw a (pre-wired) metal tab in the cavity and sl...

Gotcha. It can be done either way and putting clear over it isn’t a problem. I’ve put it on several guitars that were already finished and it cleans up easily with a damp rag when it’s wet. I’ve miss...

Though I’m curious as to why you chose to shield before finishing? @mattbeels I saw a video of someone saying that it’s less messy painting the cavities first, instead of potentially spilling it on a...
