Wood glue is much easier to cleanup than superglue, so long as you do it as you're going along, a damp rag will do it. That's why Ben Crowe has aban...

One warning with oil finishes is to be careful with your application cloth/paper disposal. The curing is pretty exothermal and apparently, it's not un...

Thanks guys. @darrenking I'll be in touch about that soon, need to chat with a couple of the other hackspace woodworkers about what we need. I'm also ...

@koendbI can see that working too. I just find that the black knobs and pickups on the black scratchplate lose all definition, which might be cool if ...

Being a tool junkie I bought a very nice carbide scraper burnisher from Workshop Heaven, but it seems you can use pretty much anything that's hard eno...

It might just be a trick of the light (the difference is subtle either way) but to me the wood in the cutaway looks like more of a match to the body w...

@rockpile99 Anything can be used for jazz, you just have to declare yourself "experimental" and/or "free".It takes commitment though, you have to re...
