Slippery top?

I've been having trouble signing in. For some reason the system kicked me out yesterday and I couldn't get back in due to a Google reCAPTCHA that isn'...

I’ve got all the butterflies in, sanded everything and applied some Danish Oil, 3 coats so far. Not a bad finish that, for a work bench. I might give ...

@robin I know, I’m only kidding. I’ll probably beat the hell out of it over time. 😂 I will treat the top with several coats of poly though, to protect...

@robin 😂 Brilliant! I bet your wife loves that. It must seem like everyone apart from her, to her.

@swepri 😂 Nope, it’s going to be encased in a glass cabinet. Oh, just realised I need to build a glass cabinet. 😂

@robin Hahaha….. Nice one Robin, that’s really cool. I love the fact that your wife saw rubbish and you saw a bending iron. I’m exactly the same, I ne...

It’s fine, don’t worry about it, that’s where they are supposed to be. Don’t forget that the direction of the strings are heading for the outside edge...

@nsj Very nice work as usual. I would be tempted to route a shallow recess for the bridge to sit in rather than install a different bridge. All your s...

@middaparka There are actually larger airbrushes available, they are like a hybrid of an airbrush and a mini spray gun. I’ll see if I can find one. It...

I wouldn’t spray a whole guitar with this setup, I use a much bigger compressor for that. I also use full size spray guns for covering large areas, su...

@swepri Fantastic! Hey, I like your hold down clamping bench, I may have to make one of those. I’m just in the middle of making a proper workbench, it...

Beautiful as usual. 👏👏👏👏
