Thanks for all the nice comments. The "buildup" in the picture is probably an optical illusion, nevertheless the heel will be sanded flat before sending. I will do the sides in aluminium as well, once the body is finished. I'm away at the moment and when I get back I'll only have a couple of days before I go away again. I'm going to America in april and I'm thinking of picking up some nice wood on my trip to use for the body. Anyone have any reccomendations on suppliers in LA, or Hawaii? I will also go to Canada but I want to avoid the hassle of bringing wood through customs in the US (don't know how picky they are).
That is not my private shop (I wish I could afford that kind of equipment) but a shop at school. It's got everything I need for both metal and woodworking, and I'm pretty much the only guy using the woodworking section regularily, so I'm happy (doesn't cost me either and I can use it after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends and holidays ).
