Do you want to know a secret @mattbeels??

As was my reply @mattbeels! The bass pickguard is made from 2mm aluminium sheet. The question you have to ask re the guitar pickguard is "how...

@mattbeels It was a joint effort - I had someone cut out the shape and cutouts (they had the tools to do that bit easily!) and I chamfered the edges...

I've got a load of kitchen cupboards to paint (apparently). I'm thinking a paint spraying kit would be a worthwhile investment, to help me get the s...

I switch mine off, *and* unplug it. Some of those bits scare me, and the thought of putting my fingers anywhere near them, when there's even the remo...

Oi @Boo - who's "messing about" with me??? 😋 And in the interests of full disclosure - you could even say transparency - here's a build that I...

Really interested to see what you do with this @Boo. What's the total damage for the compressor, guns, paints, extractor, etc? And - daft Q #1 - ho...

I was 99% persuaded to have a go at a self-build acoustic. Then I added up the cost of the parts (for the first attempt, the second go that gets a b...

The day I did that @clinton, my routers became a whole lot more useful! I should have done it years ago, and saved myself many a slip ...
