I bought these off ebay Yesterday and am yet to receive them. I'm wondering if they will be good for new builds or are better suited for repair work on loose tops or backs ? what do you think ? And I just though I would show them as well. They are 450mm long and will clamp from roughly 50mm to 250mm...

No 13, Nice .

I read somewhere here, that you built a new neck jig . I remember seeing one you built a fair while ago on WWF.
How is the new one better ?

Pretty amazing John ,
I'd feel a bit safer in White pointer territory with one of them , just a wee bit .

I went and saw Tommy Emmanuel Thursday the 12th December, It was what is called a Master class. For $100 per head, we sat in a room at a hotel, Milano's Tavern Brighton, with between 250 and 300 other people. Tommy was to come on and talk and play for one and a half hours . He spoke about his life, ...

Things could be worse , it could have been bought by Pete Townshend back in the 60s

I just saw on the news this guitar sold for over 1 million dollars .
Then I came across this. I love the way they proved it was the one.

It seems to work without putting the URL's at each end .

I just put my one back on then off then on again.

Just the complete web address and when I checked my signature on a post it was blue.

Thanks John,
I do enjoy your " How to" demonstrations .
I like the angle with the machines in the back ground is good as well.

Low starting price on that one John , It will be interesting to see what it brings. I saw this vintage catalogue the other day. 1974 not really that long ago ,but could be of interest to some one here.

I keep a 20 lt bucket of it handy for any thing i want to absorb quickly , from accidental spills to soaking up glue run out on furniture builds.
Also annealing tool steel ,it works good , got to be careful though.

Hi Jim , Do you glue down your bridges with HHG ? I'm thinking if it would be possible to scribe your bridge position before any finish is put down ,then brush coat within the scribe line with thick HHG, let it dry , finish the top. Then put bridge back on and re scribe the line to just cut through ...

They look nice Ross. Whats with the blurry look , is that a romantic setting on your camera ? :lol: Just kidding , I'm guessing mobile phone. Steve [simso] pointed out " Your mould making is very good, all three look consistently the same shape" How did you bend them ? And I can see a finish on the ...

Brittons are great , as far as I know , In Melbourne, they don't mind selling one or two boards, they like to be called in advance and have the timber pack pulled out ready for you to go through. Last time I looked they had their stock stacked high and it takes them some time to organize it . I buy ...

OMG !!

I wonder if that redwood was used for canoes ?
