    make sure you use timber with open grain like ash. stain black, grainfill with red and sand back, then clear coat. cheers darren

    +1. the only tool i have had a genuine fear of is a chainsaw. i had never used one and attempted to cut down a huge gum tree in my backyard down. after about 15 seconds of using the chainsaw i put it down and for the next 5 hours used a hand saw. my arms/legs/fingers/toes etc. were more important than saving time/energy!! yes. whether the timber presents a known danger ie: cancer causing agents etc. you are still breathing in dust which can't have a beneficial effect on your lungs. cheers darren

    i voted chrome after checking out brendans tele which won the march gotm. although after seeing it with the white pickguard and pups, i'd be inclined to get the hardware painted/powdercoated white. cheers darren

    chaos i'm far from any sort of expert (having never done this) but i would assume you would need to route the top of the body down by the thickness of the top you intend to put on it and then glue that sucker down. obviously some of the more experienced guys could give you a better description of the process. cheers darren

    why not put a figured drop top stright over the pup routes, rear route it and do a burst finish or similar?? cheers darren

    looking good scotty. i'm a bit dissapointed you decided against going headless, i thought the body style was really suited to it, but hey, it will turn out great no matter what. cheers darren

    yo dime (sorry to hijack) where in adelaide are you from?? what suppliers have you tried, i got my timber from otto's, mahogany neck blanks and mahogany body wood. i'm looking for some kind of figured top (going to attempt an LP). btw i'm from largs bay. cheers darren

    perry, i've emailed ya!!

    as southpa said, auto body suppliers are probably your best bet. as for tite bond, try a specialty timber supplier, thats where i got mine in adelaide. if all else fails you may be able to get it through bunnings/mitre 10 etc. as a special order. cheers darren

    i've owned an hitachi 3.25 h/p router for years. it is a fantastic tool, never had a problem with it (and its done a LOT of work in that time) as for noise, thats really the neighbour's problem, because you wear hearing protection. right??? cheers darren
