Hi Martin,

Dr ducks is just a very light Pure oil , Not actual wax used it several times now and it works a treat.

Cheers,

Hi Martin ,

Used it on the flamenco, first time I have used it , no issues , but I did use industrial metho from carbatec, and Dr ducks axe wax as my oil.

Yep .... use one of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5wjjDBdgeE

and it's probably a ridiculous amount of money now, but who knows in a few years we might all be printing CF braces.

Cheers,

Buy a fresh tube of Gel superglue and use that. I had issue with the supplied glue not working .

As Allen and Martin indicated anything else would be a bad Idea.

Cheers,

I'll third the Artist APX case It fit's a wide variety nicely, even a gore shaped Guitar.

Cheers,

Only you Christian could make a ping pong bat look flash

Hi all, This is from the Stew mac site, Torrified timber , supposed to sound better :? I Immediately went up to my Stash in a bathrobe and flashed my naked being at my timber, now it's terrified. :shock: Came back and read further "About torrefied wood http://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and_Supplies/B...

Try Blackwoods Rod, we use it at work and I'm pretty sure it's from blackwoods. https://www.blackwoods.com.au/part/01494457/accelerator-tak-pak-loctite-7452-20gm or http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NO-LABEL-SUPERGLUE-CA-Cyanoacrylate-ACCELERATOR-50ml-/221574624529?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3396e0751...

We need a good Jo-bob Kidding, A Michael Thames or some other objectionable troll. Although unpleasant, I enjoy watching Martin and Kim toy with them like a cat with a mouse, knowing full well they are going to get the big clown mushroom cloud as soon as they are bored with it all. I think we will h...

I am truly Impressed Jim,

Having been through the same process making various parts for boats, I really appreciate the effort that went into that.

Are you taking orders

Cheers,

Try your Local Firearms supplier, as we are not in the USA that may take some searching , but possibly your best bet if you want some in a hurry.

Cheers,

I'm not familiar with the text in the book. I'd read on the forum raving reviews about it and went to buy a copy only to see the price. I closed the webpage very quickly. _________________ Best money I ever spent in relation to guitar making, Alan your happy to spend $$$ on Jigs to save time, there...

Put em up in Buy swap and Sell ,

They will go like hot cakes.

Cheers,

Nice one Bruce ,

It was like we were thinking the same thing at the same time

Nothing wrong with pajama stripe macro, It's a great alternative to the other cypress.


Very nice indeed mate .

Cheers,

No offense taken, Just the boy's having a tongue in cheek dig at me, because the most common use of Macrocarpa is T&G floorboards. But I did not say that I did not give due consideration to the bracing or how I thicknessed the back, I just did not see any point trying to separate out a back frequenc...

Nice stuff Wayne,

Looks great I made a mini a few guitar back and also really enjoyed making it.

Something about the small bodies.

We also found a fascinating geological record of the AGMS. We will need our resident geologist to take a look and report on that, I suspect I may have contributed to that :oops: I can't remember the last time my class cleared it out .... oop's. Nice work on the uke, looks great, as Jeremy pointed o...

Yeah Right .........thanks for that.

Sorry to hear that Mate , we have all had those moments, I have had several.

Hope the next ones the trick !

cheers,

Hi KPCART, In order, Macrocarpa. 1.2 kg . Around 90 ish for the main air T (1,1)1 and around 172 ish for the top T (1,1)2 . No measurement for the back as all the flamenco guys I have seen play have the back firmly up against their gut's so was irrelevant for me. No WIP shot's , No internals. Top / ...

Details Sent Jim !

Cheers,
