@darrenking Hey, welcome to the ‘1000 club’ Bill, what took you? You're still only in the "1,000 club" ??? I reckon @johnnierox-boo has hacked the system and found a secret store of points that al...

When I started making sawdust, and the occasional guitar, I set-up my workshop with more space than I could ever need. I bought a 10' x 8' shed. I put all my tools in there, and had loads of space to ...

My procedure is to rub as much as you can into the surface for a good 5 minutes using sufficient friction that you can feel a bit of heat building up and then swap to a dry cloth and rub off as much a...

@johnnierox-boo All those jigs take up a lot of room though!

@robin due to the horizontal rain Ahhhh, yes, I remember horizontal rain! I lived in the Lake District for 10 years ....

I’m thinking, perhaps hollow it out, re-cap it, and add a couple of not-f-holes.

Watch out Stewart & MacDonald. If you could put a catalogue together @darrenking, Mark could have another one to work through, buy8ng everything ... 😆 😆

@deej Download these at your own risk... I was a little worried when I saw the domain name of the host ... but my iPad still seems to be working OK. And I've only had to enter my bank details, mothe...

@marcel If you don't like it, just make a new one. Well, I could, but I'd salvage the pickups, and bridge, and tuners and neck ... (I don't have as many friends as you, so no-one really to give it a...

I'm not sure I can offer a whole lot of help based on my limited experience! But will read with interest the suggestions of others ...

I’ve used crimson stains and their finishing oil...but I’ve used Danish, Liberon finishing oil, tung oil and True oil. They all have there advantages and disadvantaged. Yup, I've got a shelf full of...
