good stuff KB was about to send out the KB search party mate !
Yo Woks what's cooking in the luthiers lair
haha been away in Brizzy half of last week for a work conference, sadly didn't have any time to catch up with Pabs. Then Sat/Sunday all day at the V8 Supercars were at Barbagallo raceway. Haven't been home long enough to do any axe work.
Got Friday RDO so should get 3 solid days in the man cave.
What's happening in KB land ?
Still working on the Gretsch style guitar sanding, shaped headstock, stained body need to rub it back. When I get it to the shade I like to emphasise grain, then i will stain lemon yellow with slightly darker edge for sunburst. But you know how these things go Woks it changes by the minute lol. Waiting for some bits and pieces to come from all over the place. Need to fill tuner holes re-drill, I might get away with one but will see. It looks like faded denim presently so needs more sanding. Off to get orbital sander. Hard to find orbital sanding discs In the higher grits. I must try the sandpaper man.
sounds good KB, look forward to seeing some progress pics of the GR build !
I need to reshape truss rod hole just personal preference woks. You sound like you've been busy. I bet your looking forward to your three days in the luthiers lair.
sounds good KB, you got no idea how keen I am for the 3 day weekend, my poor axes hanging have been very lonely hahah
EDIT just saw pics of the GR build, coming along well, is that grain filler or faded black stain ?
I have found 320 grit orbital paper at Repco so try there or Supercheap Auto
Sometimes recording other people. You don't get to play your own instruments. So it's nice just to sit down chill learn some new chords or write songs.
I think you need to come up with something amazing to celebrate your days off Woks. Plus a few beers for inspiration lol. I've added a few pics above.

(I added this from my last post in case you missed it
sounds good the recording and song writing.
Don't worry there will be plenty beer consumed over my weekend to celebrate 3 days off work
I've heard your local stockist of beers needs to restock lol. Thanks I'll check out supercheap Wokka. It's Timbermate would of liked it to of been blacker, next time I'll add black dye to timbermate. It'll do for now I wanted a vintage vibe softer grain might be ideal. Tried Carbatec for higher grits no joy. I know sandpaperman does 600,800,1200 but all out of stock.
yeah ok KB, the BGSFOS only stock up to 240 grit orbital paper.
Did you use ebony timbermate ? I think it will still look awesome with a lemon colour, if the grain is too dark may take away from the lemon stain a bit
Yeah it's first time I've used the ebony timbermate and it's a little grey, but as I say might be just what I need for this build the great thing about timbermate you can pretty much add any dye you like to it. I've ordered a trapeze as I hate trems. And some bits and pieces for Les Paul build. I also ordered some odd valued sprague capacitors a great place Scott recommended. The daft thing is the capacitors where $5.00 the postage was $10.00. Shame they don't stock them here. I ordered some Alnico 2 and 5 magnets too.
sounds good KB
yeah it sucks when a product costs more to post than the product costs. When that's the case I usually stock up so price per item is less - if you get my drift hahah
The strange thing is as soon as I put sale through I found a variety of other things I needed typical huh . Yeah I know exactly what you mean Woks. Can you please give me the definitive answer as to who's leading who astray. Is it you leading DB or DB leading you. Cause talking to you both you say the opposite. You pair of booze heads lol.
haha this thread has gone right off topic. I will say DB leads me astray but when he heads over for 4D Friday nights (FDFN) he will say myself and Wayne lead him astray.
I know the feeling about placing an online order and forgetting a few small items
Woks and Popeye are amateurs..
Every time I go to Woks, Popeye passes out before 10pm... 😂
hey DB, you could re-word that bro, I've never passed out early haha
Now the truths coming out lol. Ought to just call you guys the Mobile Publicans. Yep as I thought your just as bad as each other hahaha.
