And this is the company that I have used in the past for bearings, pulleys and belts.

Hi Mike, That looks great, I love DIY machines! I would be interested to know the length of the spindle and the speed that the mops are spinning at as I can see that is geared down quite a lot by the ...

Cheers Mike - having never buffed I wouldn’t spot the kind of vital detail..... Is yours bolted down, if not does it stay put when you are buffing a guitar?

Thanks for the comments guys. I will post pics of the latest Acoustic later. Anyone want the details of pulley sizes or where the parts are from etc let me know. Bill Flude I looked at the highline on...

A tempting idea to build something - I have watched the YouTube videos for the Highline one.

Wow! Solid looking Diy. Awesome!

@mikeyrjiom Wow, that thing looks awesome! I‘ve seen some other plans for a byo buffer from Highline guitars for example but that one looks sturdy as fook. I‘ll check the link, great job and thanks fo...

Having been to Marks workshop twice to build guitars, I'm always amazed at the quality of the finish he gets on the guitars. I realised since and have had it confirmed, that there is a lot of work to ...

Hi Guys Sorry for the late replies was finishing off some acoustics. Thanks for all the comments. The spindle length is 1mtr and is a 25mm steel shaft. Ideal speed should be between 750-900 rpm (@boo)...

Thanks for that @boo but don't aspire to my work you need to aspire to Marks. I'm still learning and have a long list of things to do better or differently on the next build. I like the dovetail joint...

I can highly recommend the online courses its well worth spending what is so little to gain so much of his knowledge. Thanks Mike, I have been a premium member from the start but have only been inte...

That's pretty!

Got a little more work done. Got my custom headstock inlay done and my mother of pearl side dots are in. I've gotta wait for some fretting tools and then I can put them in. Going to work a bit on my b...

@94dodgedude Looks good from here, great job! I can see that it’s not perfect but getting those simple shaped inlays perfectly straight isn’t easy. Cheers!

I'm so glad I have two necks! I messed up the top of the headstock on the less nice neck. Attachment : 20201204_164100.jpg The router grabbed it and tore out a chunk. Bummer, but I decided to c...

That sounds like a wise decision Dodgedude. Have a look through my post "First Practice Build" and learn from my mistakes, most of them when using the router.

So I got scared working on the $450 flame maple body so this weekend I went to my local hardwood store and bought a piece of mahogany big enough to make another one piece body. Now having some practic...

Stunning work, it looks beyond my capabilities. Keep it up sir. 👍

Awesomeness overload! Very Gretschlike.

Thanks Peebee It's in my Dad's hands now, so hopefully he's enjoying it.. cheers Steve
