2014 Indian Chief. Ex-demo, got it for a song.
Hey all, I've been away from the guitar build for 3 weeks, letting the primer cure but also wrestling with a new concept. I was going to paint it as a tribute to the Shelby Daytona, but a recent...
I bought some strings yesterday and took 20 minutes to play this guitar, hanging on the wall with a $2000 price tag:

Back on track. Shot 3 coats of acrylic primer in the new booth. The overspray is well contained, success!!!

Congratulations Ejay, a real stunner!! Bloody amazing lineup this month.
You need a set of nut files:

I bought a set from Japan that were considerably-cheaper.
I...
Almost complete. Just the fan installation remains.

Shellac applied by French polishing excluded I presume?
The fan is brand new, and its a marine bilge fan, sealed motor for venting flammable fumes. The 13.7 volts was read under no load. Another guy at work also suggested the capacitor route, as though...
The bloody thing is integral to my spray booth project, which in turn has derailed my Shelby Daytona TL-1 hot rod Telecaster build.
I've got a bench top 12 volt power supply, which is putting out 13.7 volts. I am trying to power a 12 volt marine blower fan. When I power it up it won't spin unless I start it with my finger. The...
Am I seeing things or is one of your frets way too short? It appears the one nearest the camera does not extend to the edge of the fingerboard.
Beauty, all the bits come together in a great package Kenfu
Cool...
How to mount the 1" pipe I've bolted to the body in my new spray booth? Drill a hole in the plywood side and hope for the best? Not when you have a machine shop at the office:

I buy acrylic lacquer from an auto-parts store. Dulon (PPG) is made for DIY car painters. The debate between lacquer and enamel rages on internet forums. Car paint is pretty darn durable. You...
I've got a 100L v-twin with a 3HP motor, delivering 336l/min, I bought it from a Chinese tool importer for about $500NZD. I put a water separator on it, and it's perfect for spraying. I picked up a...
I will comment that the difference between a rattle can spray and an HVLP gun is very apparent. As you approach the bottom 1/3 of the rattle can it may start to spit, the pressure must drop and the...
Wow...beauty.
Ok, I've built a spray booth. It's plywood, with a 500mm2 opening in the floor into which a spray booth filter fits. The bottom section is a sealed box, and on the side will be a 100mm high flow,...
I've had a good bit of advice from work, get a 12v power source and run a marine bilge blower, they are built to withstand petrol and diesel vapours, and can shift a fair bit of air.
I'm pulling...
While not a delay just yet, I am struggling to come up with a plan to spray the finish coats. I had been working through ideas around a small spray booth in my garage, but this requires an exhaust...
Regardless of how deep the dog bite holes are, you can always fill them and continue the build with an opaque (painted) finish...it's not all lost.
That looks amazing. Clamps and glue as DB says.
What I want to know is how you can upload 1/2Mb photos onto your posts? Mine get rejected above 150kb.
Out of respect to Gav I have withdrawn my November entry for Truss-Rod Cover of the Month. I had just completed the 72nd coat of shellac, applied with an ear bud, so this is obviously a difficult...
Block-sanded the initial 4 coats of primer (acrylic automotive). It will need some lightweight body-filler to eliminate 3 small imperfections that I have discovered on the sides. I spent a couple...
