Plenty of scrap in the naughty warehouse, and for admitting you went to the BGSFOS you will also have plenty of time to experiment...
Woks, pour Rabz a beer please mate
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
haha no worries DB, I seem to be pouring more beer than I am consuming so think it's time we employed a barman so I can consume and build more !

Well in all honesty, I just had my fill of pizza, fired up my brand new wood fired pizza oven tonight.
So I guess I'm on naughty warehouse pizza duties?

Hey Rabbitz nice one, can you please post a pic of your new pizza oven ? Did you build it from a kit ?
If you are volunteering for pizza duties in the NW I'm sure we can use help !

Hi,Originally Posted by Rabbitz
Today I dropped into a paint place to pick up some bibs and bobs, and to ask about my current incarnation of this plan.
Now, as a professional writer I pride myself on my ability to explain complex subject matter. My pride took an enormous hit.
I couldn't adequately explain my idea to the paint gurus.
So I bid them "fair winds and following seas" and moved on to the next stop on my long weekend shopping odyssey. I had to get some gardening things from a big green shed.
While on the premises I happened to wander through the paint and finish section and had a peruse of the lime wash/varnish/poly/stain shelves.
A man dressed in red and green (I think he may have been one of Santa's Elves, one of the elves who paint the toys) who seemed quite knowledgeable was able to grasp my concept and translate that into small metal tins that went into my gardening supplies trolley. I think his knowledge must have come from his time painting toys for Santa).
So now I just need the weather to co-operate and to give me some time under 35°C in the shed to take care of the sanding tasks...
For the record, I ended up with:
1 x British Paints Water Based Walnut Stain (Grain Pop)
1 x F&W Liming White Stain & Varnish (Milky Coat)
1 x Cabots Cabothane Clear - Water Based (Clear Coats)
Even in small tins it cost almost as much as the kit!! How we must suffer for our art.
I know it's een a logn time since this post - but hwo did you find the F&W liming white?
I've been thinking of using it either to keep a maple neck "white" or to do a whitewash" of the guitar body (made of Douglas Fir).
Here's my rather meagre build diary.
I had forgotten the tribulations of that build...
