I gotta feed the kids anyway:-)
ok no worries bro
sure we will resurrect the Barge and Woks show soon.
is the NBN connected ?
is it fast ?
It's still not in my suburb yet
Jeez, looking damn fine, Barge. Just managed to catch up on this thread.
Looking mega cool bro! Keep up the epic work!
Loving the carves and the sandblasted top looks awesome sort of like a 4.5k Mayones
Liking you're work here Barge. Yes the orbital sander is awesome. I recently scored a cheap one at Aldi and never looked back!

Look how many bloody guitars the poor things have to gnaw through though, I don't blame them for only lasting 6 months:PQuote:

Hey cheers fellas;-)
Barge can I move in with you bro? I would greatly appreciate NBN, I'll even pay rent :D
hehehe, you'd learn too many bad habits living with me bro;-)Quote:

I think Wokks must abuse his tools....
Anything that ISN'T ongoing Stan?Quote:

Try nitro bro, you'll never go back. Literally touch dry within 2 minutes, handle dry within 10 (weather dependant)Quote:

@ Barge is that the karijini red on the top ? looks choice bro
Orbital is definitely on my list after using my uncle's german made one.
Nitro.. might try the spray can one...
That's Barginjini Red bro, nah it's tattoo ink.Quote:

Man like I said, I can't believe I waited this long to get one. If I can suggest just one bit of equipment for the budding guitar builder it would be an orbital sander...without a doubt.Quote:

Yeah...I gotta say, by the time you've fluffed about with masking and wot-nots you could have easily cut a binding channel and been 3/4 of the way through sticking the binding down. Faux definitely doesn't equal easier, but in this case, necessary.Quote:

I'm hearing ya, although ripping it off is always fun:-)Quote:

Had a few little bleed throughs in places, mainly on top due to the open nature of the sandblasted grain acting like little channels for the paint.
Initial tests with the scalpel seems promising and I think with a bit of Pab's "zen like" scraping, and a good dose of OCD, it should clean up pretty nicely.
Oh wow. Holy crap, that's rad. Love the cut in on the top.
looks awesome Barge well done, the carves on the top are much more obvious now. Would barely know this started as a ST body !
Faux binding looks very nice. good work bro !
Cheers fellas;-)
so we arking up the Barge and Woks show bro ?
As much as I'd like to shoot the shit with ya Wokks, I've gotta go scrape this "binding" while it's still soft. I'll catch up with ya in a bit.Quote:

Look forward to update pics
Pretty stoked at how the binding cleaned up, it's not perfect but it's pretty close.
Tidy, dude. Killing it.
looks unreal Barge well done.
Now you have done both methods of binding which one do you prefer ?
