yeh Wokka but it was an electric planer and I was just playing around with stuff layng around in the shed . Besides Matney just loves all the cleaning up.
When it's my starcaster I'll be do the cleaning, this is your mess D.K!;)
Hey everyone, finally got a whole day at home to play with my st1. The pine pickguard I'm making was giving me all sorts of greif, spent three hours making a template perfect only to have the depth adjustment on the router slip and gouge the template and picckguard while doing my final route, managed to save the pickguard (just a touch smaller than original). Took one photo during cutting the pickup holes, then Matney went to his mates place and took the camera with him. Pickguard now finished, body sanded to 240 grit and grainfilled. Can anyone tell me a drying time for Timbermate when used as a grainfiller, I live in Townsville NQ. so not cold here.
Depends on the wood, but Timbermate is known for having quick drying times.
