  1. The Safe-T_Planer has been one of my best investmnets so far
  2. Hey guys I suppose I should have added that my suggestion would be an easy way of maintaining an A1 finish from wear and tear, and as a guitar ages to help keep it looking great There may be plenty of "made for" products out there, but as I said it was just a suggestion dayvo
  3. I have another product to add to this discussion Several years ago when I was doing an automotive spray painting course, my lecturer suggested using Toothpaste to get out fine scratches in the duco It is also a very fine abrasive and worked a treat dayvo
  4. Hey all I need some help I want to show where Im up to with my first build and I want to have a picture in my post, not a link Ive read through the Help topic on Posts, but I still cant workout how to add an image file from my computer There is a button that says Insert Image, but when I click on it, it asks for a URL Can someone advise me here? dayvo
  5. Im still working on my first guitar and I found it very easy to add a volute and as the others say they look great http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/dayvo28/d...scd.jpg&.src=ph
  6. Ive ordered stuff from Stewmac and Lmii and had excellent service from both I paid for the express service and the goods arrived 5-7 days later As far as paying customs, you shouldnt have to pay any duties as long as your combined cost dosnt exceed AU$1000 It all has to be worked out in Aussie Dollars You buy goods from a supplier and the total cost works out to be say AU$600 then add to this figure Customs Duty @ 5% = AU$30 then add your postage (for arguments sake, say) AU$100 Total =AU$730 then add GST (=10%) AU$73 The Grand Total is AU$803, which leaves you under the AU$1000 threshhold and therefore no fees or duties would be incured Check out this link to Aussie Customs http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=5549 Hope this has helped dayvo
  7. Thanks The bevel is there because I wanted to get 2 necks from my laminated neck boards Which I did with not a lot of room to play with, and the bevel is a result On Johns plans the tenon width is 40mm and Ive had to guestimate the rest

  16. Hey guys I've noticed on a lot of 'In Progress' etc. pictures that a pale blue tape is used to cover areas and/or possibly protect them when staining , clear coating etc. Does this tape have any advantages over paper masking tape?, if so, what are they?

  21. This post is for the Aussie members of the forum I've just found a supplier here in Oz of IPS Weld-On 16 This is the binding glue StewMac sells It can be purchased here in Oz from Mulfords Plastics (they have branches in most capital cities) Cost for 5oz tube - AU$11 While I'm bringing up the subject, do any other Aussie members have info on retailers/distributors here in Oz of other guitar supplies that are hard to bring into the country? dayvo
  22. Oh, to live in the US, you guys are spoilt Not only do you have easy access to some beautiful and exotic timbers, but the prices they're offered to you are fantastic Here in Oz some of the more exotic timbers are hard to get and we pay through the nose for it dayvo
