May I ask how much you pie for the corrodip and where you got it from. All of my tools are old rusty boot fair finds and I would love a quicker way to remove the rust then sandpaper or white vinegar when I can find it. I have heard and read amazing things about corrodip and I wanted to get some...

I have thought of the heat blanket but I don't really have the space or skill to make a side mould for it. A bending iron would be a lot easier. I have thought about just getting a bit of pipe maybe I will reconsider that until I can afford a bending iron.

It's not that I wasn't happy with paying £20 I just wanted to double check that's a standard price as I've never approached a welding company before so wasn't sure what price was right. I contacted a few places to get quotes only two got back to me. One at £20 and one at £150

I just got another quote for the piece of pipe. £150!!

I don't use a micro bevel just a single 30 degree bevel. Is that wrong? Thank you for all of the advice everyone

See I do get alright shavings the blade just does not stay sharp for very long. This is a piece of wood (unsure what it is) that I am trying to plane down thin enough to cut a circle out of. I unsuccessfully attempted this yesterday with the same wood which was 2mm thick and as you can see it...

Apparently there are some places that still sell them. I think that they are sold at trade type places according to what I have read.

Yes there are: http://youtu.be/-py9FGKpYW0 http://youtu.be/VgcCPaUq5us They are links to what I am hoping to end up with. Other people use a blow torch or a heat gun but I prefer the idea of using a light bulb.

Good wood! That is a whole other problem! I spend far to much time these days searching for nice wood for guitar and ukulele back and sides!!! It's becoming a serious obsession,lol! Thank you for all of your advice.

Hi I will be making a guitar bending iron to bend the sides and purfling. I will mount a lightbulb fixture to a bit of plywood and then place the tube over the light bulb to heat the wood. Ideally I would love to get a piece with the multiple radii but I am not sure how I would go about that so...

Hi all I have no experience with metal working at all so please bare with me. I am trying to make a bending iron for guitar sides and my plan is to mount a light bulb fixture to an base and cover it with a pipe. I need a piece of metal pipe about 7 inches in length and four inches in diameter...

Hi thanks for all of your replies. Insinuate a honing guide and i get a consistent edge. I use a 30 degree single bevel angle. I didn't know that wet and dry couldndonthat to your blade. Wet and dry is all I have ever use so that is interesting. I found with the waterstone that initially when I...

I just wondered if anyone has or would know how to go about making a circle cutter for guitar rosette channels. I have seen people make the Dremel ones which are the ones I like the look of but would this be possible with just basic hand tools? Thanks

Hi all I am in need of some advise. I am very new to woodworking. I have been doing it for about eight months now. I absolutely love it and spend every spare waking moment learning as much as I can. I have no workshop nor do I have many tools. I currently work on a small coffee table. Anyway...

Thanks for your advice

Hi Every I hope you are all well. I was hoping to get a little advice. I am going to attempt making a guitar rosette for the first time and I am having trouble finding dyed Veener sheets at an affordable price. I only need sheets A4 sized in as many colours as I can get a hold of. The cheapest I...

http://www.grellier.fr/plans/Soprano_uk ... ele_en.pdf These are the plans I am currently using to build a ukulele. I am not a professional I am actually on a college course but the plans are great!

Posca paint pens are amazing!

Amazing. May I asked where you sourced the wood. I'd love to have a go at making a set of thumb planes for guitar top carving!

May I have a set of the plans please. Thank you.
