Re: What's on your work bench?

Picked up ani e old Stanley No.4 today, now I have two of the buggers. But this came with original box and manual! After a clean, flatten, sharpen its shaving paper thin. I love using sharp hand tools, they’re a pleasure. I’d love to complete the set, I’ve got 4, 4 1/2, 5, 6 and a 7 in various stat...

Nice work but why do you put two extra uprights in on the photo on the left and for the one on the right, I see an extra top and bottom bit of ply?

Who'd want to be mainstream?
All the cool kids are playing silver skys these days!

Great tone, a Guild and 335 are part of that, not a novo :wink:

Re: neck pocket routing/general routing

I’ve got a neck pocket that is 1.5mm too small, and needs an angled cut. I could slowly sand it, but am not sure I’ll get it perfect. Is the pocket too small or the neck too big? Which one is the more expensive, neck or body? Has the body been finished? All neck pockets have an 'angled cut' as the ...

Re: neck pocket routing/general routing

Thanks Terry, now that's a recommendation - although not sure if it was supposed to only sound like I could do it because it was easy :crybaby: I'm not in...

Re: SEAVERB outboard reverb tank thread

It'll be fine assuming voltage rating of caps is suitable. I think they’re all 450v Thanks, sorry was probably a silly question No, it was a perfectly valid question.
