@jamesbisset Simple Dremel router base. It's not precision engineered like the StewMac one (appears to be), but it's done the job that I've needed it to. Attachment : 20200914_124852.jpg ...

The $20 orders are - IIRC - under the threshold for customs/duty. As you say, if you've got free postage, then small value orders make sense - double sense if they also don't attract customs costs!!

I have been using them quite a bit and haven't got done or customs charges yet. Now that's interesting @frocesterbill!!! I wonder if there's a link between their membership & free shipping arrang...

Thanks @frocesterbill @rocknroller912 I've no idea how old the amp is, but I'd say "a fair few years". However, it's in good condition, so it's not had a hard life. There's no signs of external dama...

I have to say that this happened to me yesterday, there is a glitch in the system Yup - I've noticed it happening to a few people/posts. I'm guessing that it's another symptom of us over-working the ...

I have to preface this by saying that I've never routed binding channels ... If you'd routing the channels *after* you've carved the top, then the challenge will be keeping the router base perpendic...

Hmmmmm. PlanA is looking good @frocesterbill !! Apparently (ie according to the previous owner) the amp had started hissing/buzzing when switched on, but then it'd settle down and work OK, for a while...

i like the title ... Something Olde, something New, something broken and glued? ? We've got the showcase section, which will have many of our build outcomes. I think lots of people do "build diari...

Cheers @rocknroller912. I'll look at it more closely when I get some time over the next couple of days and try to spot anything obvious. If nothing obvious then I'll probably just revert to planA and...

@rocknroller912 I have a Roland Cube 60 (cost me peanuts), which I was intending to cannibalise just for the cab & speaker. However - if it worked - it seems like it'd be quite a versatile thing, ...

I even threw out the digital amp that I built for the exam which had active bass/treble controls built into a feedback loop. Does that mean you're a bit handy with a digital amp's pcb, a schematic, ...

I didn't know you could get a Carol kit? Prizes for the best punchline ... ?

Thanks for sharing @robin Sounds like you already getting sucked in to building, building and then building some more! I keep building them, just because I can now ... you might find that you amass qu...

That’s a serious production line there @eddie6string. Is that your own spraying work on “psydelic lady”?

I watched the video link that you posted, the instructor really knows his stuff. It's a course I would like to do also. @rocknroller912 I’ve known Chris (Rift Amps) for a few years. His amps are pre...

TV romping up the ratings by triple posting...... Oooops! Now deleted ... there were some website errors when I was posting that reply, so whatever I did in response to the error (F5?) obviously repe...

Trouble is @Robin, that the diameter of the threaded part varies. I've got a box of washers & nuts, but odds are that they wouldn't fit your pots. New ones generally come with more washers/nuts t...

You’re missing out on the best part @TV1010101 and looking at youkre other work you should sail through the process Cheers @Deej The few necks that I *have* made have been a very rewarding experienc...

I’ve found that if I make one neck after the other and try and make them all the same, it reinforces the processes in my memory and develops my practical skills/techniques, and boosts my confidence wi...
