@10.25 This is the first phase of finishing. Just rubbed on the Liberon Easy French Polish, maybe 2-3 coats, rubbed on in an area until its almost dry, then start on the next area. Pretty quick to app...

@10.00. The bare body, ready. The colour was looking a little washed-out after the stain had dried, and I'd rubbed back the rough spots. Attachment : 20221105_100933sml.jpg

I've spent the last few days wondering whether to add to the "design feature" and repeat something similar elsewhere on the body. Just in case anyone ever thought that the jack socket was a "mistake"!...

Can I do a 2-parter? there, done it.

Errrr, well, that’s up to standard @Russ!! What????

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I need to find some more old bicycle inner tubes before the real thing I’ve got a couple - but they’re so old that they’re probably perished by now. One day I’ll rescue m...

I've seen those switches @frocesterbill and wondered about trying them sometime, but then wondered whether I'd actually use all the extra sounds. But then I'm often quite happy with a single pickup i...

A tiny bit @Boo - but not so much that made any noticeable difference to the "blueness" of the wood. Be interested to hear what you make of it. I made a little pad of cotton wool, then wrapped that i...

Posted by: @russ Nice work. Did you profile it by eye or did you use a template? 🤔 🎸🙏🎶🙂 Thanks @Russ! 1. Drew the shape - simple drawing package 2. Transfe...

Now, suppose the same shape of the knob was "outlined" by an inlay in the body, around the knob? Hmmmmmm ... A couple of bits of scrap, waiting for a purpose Attachment : 20221024_172304sml.jpg ...

Finished work on time this evening, so grabbed an hour in the workshop. This is a bit rough - I had to use a bigger cutter than I wanted to because the bit of scrap was thicker than I needed it to be....

Posted by: @koendb 🤣 😆 😉 😋 I do like you very smart design feature, Thanks @koendb On the one hand, I've made a lot of cock-ups. On the other hand, I've learned a l...
