If she HAS won the lottery she may be leaving you anyway!

nice although the top doesnt look too flat

Ditto, and yes it IS worth going back! Ash is lovely to work with and you never know, it might start to get hard to get hold of in the future. :(

haha same here - cashed in ALL bonds, and a few weeks later I got a £25 win, even though I don't appear to hold any bonds......curious

'Cos it's fun? Never owned a bandsaw but it always looks like fun!

Is there any way around this, if the throat isn't big enough? I have never used a bandsaw so can't really get my head around the angles and logistics involved

thanks a lot for the info.

Thank you, but currently in Nottingham, soon to be Anglesey. I will take a look at the SIP.

yes I did wonder about bookmatching, and the additional burden that puts on bandsaw choice

Aw, you noticed that, did you? Thanks to all for the advice. I will take a look at the machines you mentioned, and will also ask on some guitar sites.

Is the blade more important than the machine? ie can a good blade in some way make up for an average machine? Come to think of it, what makes a machine "average" or "good"? As I turn wood too, maybe I should get a bigger machine anyway..... :ho2 :ho2 :ho2

Having repaired/resurrected a few now, and really enjoyed it, I would imagine I'll want to create quite a few, so hopefully I can "justify" a new tool!

Some form of 2" ish thick stock I guess.

As in, any builders of electric guitars...... Anyway, I want to start making solid bodied electric guitars from scratch, and I am looking for advice on a suitable band saw for preparing the blanks. Does anyone have any advice as to how to go about choosing one?

The video on their web page on how to lay the flooring shows a curious laying pattern - instead of starting at one edge and laying each row they suggest laying it in triangles, rather like building up the ends of a brick wall.....any idea why?
