It's looking good!
It's looking good!
I just keep having setback after setback with my headstock finishing, despite everything being i theory perfect. And I can't spray today because it keeps raining and I have to spray outside. Tru Oil as a finish is a slow process, but it's certainly a steady one.
I guess the neighbour's grass is always greener, I envy you for being able to have a place to spray :-)
But isn't finding a way around the setbacks a good challenge? Sometimes it also helps to step away for a day and do it on the next - even though I hardly have the patience for this =)
I think I'm FINALLY GETTING THERE! *the biggest sigh of relief you can imagine*

After this coat is dry, I'll do the front touch up again and pray to the universe I'm done with it :D (The finishing time. I really enjoy the sanding, staining, detailling stuff, but man, this true oil finish is killing me)
Edit: Excuse the mess. My kitchen table looks horrible right now. My husband is the best, he let's me do what I want without freaking out :D
(Even though I think 2 half finished guitars occupying our kitchen is as far as I can go ;-) )
You should see that state of our house when I'm in full-on guitar making or refinishing mode. I've got six on the go at the moment and I daren't tidy up as I'll loose so many things!

I do have a shed that I use for power tools and spray painting, but it's far too cold to sit out there at night with a soldering iron.
Yep me too, although I do have to tidy up every day as the space gets used for work and other endeavours and I can't think straight if things are cluttered. Towards the end of a build it's usually a big old mess.Quote:
