Silent Guitar Scratch build ideas

I wondered where you'd gone Z, I hope you are tracking a bit better health wise.
As you say, those should steam out okay, but you'll need to be careful with your application and duration of steam, lest you loosen the veneer.

Thanks Frankie, I'm still not 100%, but I'm heading back to training tonight, so we'll see how we go. I've been fighting a chest infection for some time, and while the antibiotics seemed to have killed it(I've had three lots!) it's left me with a chronic cough that I can't shake. Doctor seems to think will eventually go away, it's just a matter of time now.
Thanks also for the tips on the steaming. I'll make sure I take it slow and steady!

Hi buddy, sorry to hear you have been struggling with a chest infection. Bet the freezing cold weather isn't helping things either.

Looks like you need to spend less than $5 on a foam yoga mat at K-Mart to chop up and use as soft padding under your timber work pieces. I probably need to buy another one as after being used on 6 builds it is starting to look pretty crappy.

The off cuts work well between clamps so that no indentation marks show up and the foam mat helps stop minor scratching too.

Good tips Waz, I keep forgetting about the old yoga mats my wife has(She's a Kids Yoga Instructor!), and I always keep the offcuts until the build is complete, so thanks for that!

They gotta come in handy for something.

Looks like my Photobucket has been locked up by Photobucket themselves.
It's no longer a free hosting service, and they are asking for over $300 to allow me to share my photos with this and other forums.
Time to find another photo hosting service.

Lame. I suggest checking out imgur. Been using it for years, never run into any issues.

Thanks Pabs, that one is on the list.
It's stupid that I've been using this service for around 8yrs, and now it goes and does this!

I think someones pulling a scam, I used Photobucket pro for years and it was barely $100 a year. I'm still using the free one today.

Well then I hope someone fixes it soon. I can view my album, and even save he photos, but as soon as I "share" the image address, I get the image shown earlier.
