    I think you misunderstood me lol. I have to utilize every square inch of space so I usually dual purpose stuff, and for something like this, I have it where I can work on it, as well as use it to move stuff around. Never said it wasnt probable, just think you'd spend a lot of time and money getting heavy duty stuff to brace it up, but that bracing would get in the way of the portability, I dunno, Im most likely overthinking it is all. ^

    I dont think it would be stable enough to route or cut on though. Portability vs stabilization seems to be what it boils down to.

    oh thats a terrific idea. I think if you made the legs out of 4x4 and got some good swivel casters, it would stand up to whatever abuse you needed it to. Mines very small, 24"x24", enough to work on one guitar, never had any issues with stability

    No pictures uploaded, but I have a wonderful tray I made with hardwood top, and oak legs. It has wheels on two legs and the other two legs are flat. You can work on it without moving it around, and it moves easily. I dont think a whole bunch of bracing is needed, I just have the four legs and a bottom shelf, which seems stable enough... akin to this, just with a flat top

    Neat trick I learned for "stains".... oil paints make AMAZING coloring for wood. I learned it from a guy that builds violins up here, and its cheap too You just take some oil paint, rub it in with your hand, and let it sit for a moment, then wipe it off. Its completely translucent, similar to alcohol and water based dyes.

    Yup. Made some delicious neck blanks....

    **** routing job, but Ill survive. using flush mount pup rings anyway, so its all good. Neck still has a lot of work left to do, so dont mind the beat up looks ;p

    This looks really damn clean for a first time build! Im pretty impressed man. For the guitar body, may I suggest a deep, dark brown/red? Thinkin mahogany type stain here

    Any 2 part epoxy. If your gonna be painting it, any will do. I would do a few coats to make sure you get all the shrink out of it first, but it should be simpler and easier then cutting wood peices to glue on, then shape up. Just make sure you use some good sanding sealer.

    Machining: Difficult Bending: Poor Sanding: Tough Nailing/Screwing: Difficult have fun <_<

    bondo or epoxy would be an easier and probably better fix for this type of damage. Using a peice of pine will be weaker and harder to do, not sure why you wish to make more work for yourself.

    Frets installed, drilling out to finish routing. Not too much work left to do here...

    http://www.thewoodwhisperer.com/articles/general-finishes-wood-turners-finish/ apparently its good stuff
  17. bob123
    I've used epoxy to great success with fillings like that. As long as you're not using nitro, should be a good way to go
  18. bob123
    My concern wouldn't be raised grain, but is it a simple spray or brush application? I know some wood turning finishes are burnished on, which would be a an absolute pain to apply on a guitar effectively.

    Just noticed. Nice swimsuit pose in front of your guitar. Pam Anderson is proud

    I cant figure out how to do individual volumes. I wired up one of my strats to have individual volumes, and they work just fine when I have one pickup on, but when I have 2 on, the lowest one overrides the other.
  21. bob123
    comin along
  22. bob123
    edit: Nvm, I think you have a good idea what you're doing does it not go away when you do your finish sanding?
  23. bob123
    coming along pretty good
  24. bob123
    http://www.inlaceonline.com/text/products/metallic-dyes.html copper would be most excellent

    Oiling before routing. Silly? Sure, but it wont matter either way. Rather my bare woods not be exposed to dirt, dust, etc. The back came out quite lovely.
