How do

[BillK]

Hi all,

Thought I'd say a quick hello, I'm going to make an electric guitar or two having been given a Coronet Minorette to fix, and a tired bandsaw. I'm a beginner with powered finger removal devices, years ago I made a guitar with mostly hand tools in a mix of poverty and optimism.

My other half's Dad made her bedroom furniture with the Minorette in the 60s so it's really nice to have that. it's got a jointer, circ saw, lathe and disc sander. He also gave me a 1941 metal cased Black & Decker wrist-breaker drill, and a Bailey plane that looks to be 1910ish which is now fettled back to life.

Just off to lash some paint on the new workbench and the stand for the Minorette, I'll be asking stupid questions soon : )

cheers all
Bill

I thought that a Coronet Minorette wore short skirts, did high kicks and twirled a baton.

Welcome to the forum, Bill.
