@tej OK, that’s fair enough, it sounds like it’s working for you. I get it about not having much space, it can be one of the biggest problems for peop...
@tej yeah I understand that not everyone has spraying gear, it’s not a fix for everyone. Yeah sorry about that, I should have run it by you before ...
I’m not a fan of budget range power tools from Aldi or Lidl any more. It was a novelty at first but over time they are not good tools. They break, bur...
@tej First of all, I think the guitar looks great, great job. If it was me, I would leave it, the glue doesn’t really stand out that much and it’s ...
@mattbeels It is indeed but it’s what I need to do. Next time I will glue the neck in and then put a cap over the whole body top to cover the joint. T...

@mattbeels “Laugh it up, fuzzball” I wanted to try painting them separately to see if it would be easier and cleaner. It is in some respects and i...
@markbailey Thanks Mark. 1. Yes, I’ll order a fine marker, that seems like an easy fix. 2. It’s not having a scratch plate so I’m going to fil...
@robin Nice work there Robin, thanks for the suggestion, it’s one option. 👍
Holes plugged and glued.
OK, back to the blackness. 🖤 Unclamped this morning. I’m going to leave it for another day for the glue to cure a bit more before I get the router ...
@mattbeels I’ve also bought a Positive Grid Spark that I haven’t used at all yet. I got it out the box when it arrived and put it straight on a shelf....
