    People seem to call dragonburst different things. Do you consider, blue, green and yellow, dragonburst?

    Trying my best. been a crazy few months for me. Its in the sand back stage. the wood naturally had a color change around the edge there, so its a lighter yellow/ white color. But its about to get a lizardburst finish today.

    2k satin? Which brand? Satin and matte finishes are one area i havent mastered yet

    Those satin finished ones look great. What finish do you use?
  10. killemall8
    that looks great. Excellent shape

    that is correct good sir. Sorry, i didnt realize you meant you didnt know what it was.

    Thats really what it seems like but it definitely smells like epoxy! Yes live edge stuff seems to work the best with this. This was live edge but its 1/4" thick, so it isnt as dramatic.

    That was my goal! I wanted it to match the earthy/ reddish tones but still being noticeable. I called it "molten mars"

    The resin i used is called "ecopoxy"

    Haha! Ive had that maple burl top with a live edge for almost a year. It was my plan all along. I glued the top to the body, with the live edge gap between it. Then i poured 2 applications of epoxy with the metallic powder. This resin dries way different than normal epoxy. Its great! I even ran it through my drum sander to level it and it didnt gum up or melt.

    Finally got around to this idea ive had for a long time! it was way easier than i thought.

    That is a good looking first build. Your run in with the misplaced bridge pickup cavity is why i always tell people that the best order of operations is to rout the neck pocket, then drill for your bridge, then pickups. That insures proper placement and alignment.

    Been a while, is there a section for video tutorials specifically?
  20. killemall8
    yeah i can do that. I actually think i originally learned from a tutorial on here that might not be here anymore.
  21. killemall8
    Its been a while since i last checked in. Hope you are all safe! Ive taken on way too much work. 12 hour days every day to catch up.

    I shouldnt say there isnt a tensioner at all, but a non adjustable tensioner. It only has 1 setting, loose, or tight. and it isnt very tight. I ended up grinding the platen flat. its a pain but it will work for now.
  23. killemall8
    going to talk to grizzly monday. The platens are graphite, and checking them, they arent even close to flat. Off by almost 1/4" over the 31" length
  24. killemall8
    so a little rant I had always wanted an edge sander. I always thought that since they are platen back and flat, that they would produce a flat edge on anything. So i spent almost a thousand on a grizzly one, hoping to make my dream come true. Got it in yesterday and assembled it. Ive never been so disappointed. It doesnt sand flat in any way. or square. there is no tension adjustment, and the belt has a little give when you push a workpiece against it. I had really wanted it to rough out a radius, flatten small pieces for gluing like scarfs and a ton of other things. Absolutely none of which it will work for. Worst 1000 i have ever spent and i cant return it.

    Especially when you dye the grain a shade of the top coat! Black kills the dancing factor. But a darker shade of the top, insane!
