When you're good at something really useful, and people recognise it, the money usually follows. (I'll certainly be sending you some, along with a guitar body or two!) @tv101 That is true enough, I j...

To be fair I have also complained about that piece of s#!t edit button as well... @mattbeels 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looks like you’re having fun with your new sander @boo but I just wanted to let you know that I’m not jealous. Nope, not at all. I couldn’t care less actually just in case you were wondering, ok? Nop...

@tv101 I don't have a compressor though when the hackspace reopens I'll have access to two, we have a very large one in the metal shop and one smaller one hanging around too (I'd need to sort an airli...

@deej Another thing you haven’t also missed is @tv101 complaining about the edit button not working. 😉🤣

what makes the Mirka so great? @jonhodgson So far it’s just so smooth and has an efficient cut. That could also be due to the disks. They are expensive compared to trade standard consumables but the ...

It means that anyone mindful of how wood behaves/reacts is cautious. Where a tree grows, say a windy edge of a wooded area, or in the middle of a field, will place internal stresses into the wood fibr...

To prove the point. Now it's routine. Flat Blanks get to dry out for a few years after felling/sawing/planing (i plane close grain woods oversize when green) in open air then later into dry room @ 45%...

Nice jig. Is there a reason you choose to shape the outline of the neck before routing for carbon and trussrod?

I couldn't possibly comment! But you're not wrong!

Loads. I'll sort later. The greatest advantage is not having to square workpiece because only the centre line matters - as long as clamps get a purchase along the edge. NEC tape helps as well.
