The planer jig is still looking for a new home so if anyone is interested then send me a PM. I'm looking for £65, delivery included. Cheers, Davy

Hi folks, after stripping down my cheap and broken nutool drill to use as a fret-press I am in the market for a new pillar drill. I'm looking for a floor mounted drill press with at least a 180mm throat and it has to be accurate. A quick look through axminster turned up this and I was wondering...

Well as promised I'm going to be documenting the build of my custom fretless guitar. I made a start on this project about 6 months ago and only got as far as cutting out the body blank when a job came up. Now that job is complete I'm ready to continue. Originally the plan was for a 6-string...

After spending a fair amount of time admiring others work I decided I would be brave and put up some pics of a guitar I have just finished for a customer. It's the most difficult guitar I have built to date and the design is a collaboration of 3 different guitar shapes. The wiring is again...

Hi all, I'm currently building a guitar and the customer has asked me if I could fit bubinga guitar knobs. The only problem is that I can't find anywhere online that sells them in the configuration I need and I'm not a turner so have no means of producing accurate cylindrical pieces. So on to...

Hi all, I'm looking for 3/4 and 1 inch thick void free high quality baltic birch ply for the construction of guitar/bass speaker cabs. I've looked all over and I can only seem to find different varieties of birch. I really don't know what the differences are between the different varieties...

Hey guys, I'm moving into a new workshop in a few weeks and am going to be ditching my hobby tools in exchange for bigger better ones. I'm trying to get everything from axminster so I only get charged one heavy goods handling fee and according to their website the delivery guys will go the...

Hey guys, I've been checking out this forum for a while now and after browsing the Axminster website for a new dust extractor decided to write my first post. I currently use a Record RSDE1 dust extractor which has good filtration but doesn't move enough air (53 litres/second = 190 m^3/hour) for...
