That's an interesting fix Martin.

Steve

The only possibility would be about 1:30, 2:00 am on footpath outside a pub, club or bar with a stomach full of ale Martin and heaps of sauce.

Steve

All the way down to the faux belt buckle/zipper and button scratches on the back, very nicely done Nigel

The Carruth scraper looks like its doing a great job Martin, but i dont recognise the circle cutter thouigh. Very nice clean and tidy work.

Steve

Good luck with it Christian. A mate has had few slabs outside in direct sunlight and the filthiest of the recent weather and no signs yet of cupping, cracking or warping but all he uses are back and flatsawn (he has the end grain wax sealed). I'll tell him to get the scales out and see if they are g...

Excellent work there Jim, looks really nice.

Steve

When i was reading your the post Steve i thought you were going to say an interesting repair for someone else not photo.
Gotta love the patina and it looks like tar was the glue of choice.

Steve

Good to hear from you John, hows things up Port way?

Steve

Markus and Pete are on the money and heed the advice they have given. For my 2 bobs worth not knowing what the timber is personally i'd never use it for any structural part on a guitar. There is a lot of blood, sweat, tears and money one way or the other goes into building an axe so i'd be going wit...

She looks pretty cool Paul, very well done.

Steve

Bob is right, thats Barries gear and i have only had good stuff and help from him many times.

Steve

Markus i'm not shy, i want more than one.

Steve

You're right about that Martin, she won me over the first time i heard the B side of Big Yellow Taxi ie Woodstock which was just her voice and solo piano. And imagine if she had never been a chain smoker.

Steve

No doubt about it Markus you always come up with great tips and excellent ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Steve

That'll look sensational when its finished Allan.

Steve

Very nice indeed Allan, and even the back looks really cool. Sure plenty of others are going to like this one as well.

Steve

Thta's a big move, so good luck Nick to you and your family. Is that the end of the road for pizzas as well ?

What to do with BRW? What a question. Make a whatnot of course!

That's brilliant Markus

Steve

Stay exactly where you are Martin i can make it to your place in 20mins easy.

Steve

Thanks for the kind offer Trevor.

Steve

Just wondering Trevor if you or Gerard are taking or entering a Guitar in the Royal Easter Show this year?

Steve

In a way John you get to do 2 repairs, which isn't funny at all. First fix the original damage then the earlier repair, two for the price of one is always good value.

Steve

Very nice Peter, and also looking on the bright side you didn't lend your mate 2 guitars.

Steve

Speaking of The Books Martin, which i do not own, how often is it that any author avails themselves of open and repeated answering of questions and not just to those contained in the books? We are pretty lucky i reckon.

Steve

Is it any good Martin?
