Thread: Hello from, erm, Perth!

  1. #1
    Hey all,

    I just received delivery of my ST-1 kit, and ordered the woodtone, sanding stuff and other bits and bobs yesterday. Hopefully get them next week as I can't wait to get cracking! I plan to use the ST-1 as a bit of a practise run before building a 335!

    I have to say I'm really impressed with the whole setup, and everyone here seems lovely! Can't believe that you're right on my doorstep too!

    Cheers!

    Tom

    Hi from the east-coast Tom and welcome to the tribe,

    I hope you appreciated the last days before your kit arrived ... 'coz once you get the first one you're never quite the same again!

    Enjoy the build and don't forget to let us all enjoy the journey with you in a Build Diary.

    Happy sandings!


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    Welcome Tom, hope you have a blast. For me, contributing and sharing with everyone's collective experiences in the forum is half the pleasure of these projects. Not only do you get to be excited about your kit, and be able to share that excitement with like minded souls, but you get to share in everyone else's project as well! Looking forward to reading about yours.

    Cheers,
    Gavin.
