I remembered to bring my Laptop to my mate's place so I'm still able to get online since he has Wifi Internet, just been busy making some patch leads for my mate's guitar rig, had quite a bit of soldering to do.
Lol....you can still do that, and I will reply back.
Update:
Just got back to my flat, minus one of my cats since it's gone missing, anyway, I checked my mailbox and there was a parcel card in it so I'm guessing that my Dingotone Coolangatta Gold MkII kit has arrived at the Winnellie Post Office and is waiting for me to go and pick it up later on at 5:00pm this afternoon, so hopefully I'll be able to finally get started on the finishing work of the body and neck this weekend.
good stuff Doc, hope you can find your cat, where did it go missing at your flat or your mates ?

It went missing from my mate's place, he lives out on a block of land with his parents, I'm a bit concerned for the cat because my mate found a python near the door to his house one day.
My mate's going to keep a look out for the cat and let me know if/when it's found.

Bugger! Hate it when a pet goes missing... Sure hope Puss shows up soon, Doc.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Cheers, I hope so too mate.
I'm just doing some sanding of the headstock of my Strat at the moment, I made a small sanding block out of a bit of 25mm X 15mm pine wood and glued a bit of the 180 Grit sandpaper to it using some PVA glue, seems to work pretty well for smoothing out the rough shape of the headstock, once I'm happy with it I'll sand the edge down a bit so it's slightly rounded then I can go ahead and start sanding the rest of the neck in preparation for the Dingotone Clear finish, should look pretty good once the finish has dried, I like the citrusy smell of the Dingowax, is it natural citrus juice?

sounds good Doc, page 23 and you are finally sanding.
DB will have to confirm the ingredient of the citrus smell, he did give me a sniff of the bottle but I've forgotten what it is. The Dingotone has even more of a citrus smell.

Lol....yeah, it took me a long time to finally pull my finger out and start sanding, the strange thing is I found myself actually enjoying doing some sanding, it seems to have a relaxing effect on me....weird, eh?
