    If I could figure out a way that the other half could also get use out of a gun and compressor set up....I'd be getting one.
    IIRC, I think you have previously mentioned that Ms. FW does craft work. A reasonably good airbrush kit won't set you back much and would fit right in with her endeavours. You could get larger gravity gun for yourself and everybody wins!!! (you'd just need a compressor large enough for your gun)

    Plus I've found the airbrush to very handy for guitar stuff as well.

    Makes me wonder what task she employs with that massive drill press you got at Christmas.
    I know what my partner would use it for.

    cheers, Mark.

    Well, this is finally coming to a head.



    Now I just need to get the body up to the same standard.
    I had persisted with the rustoleum, but by experimentation I have discovered that cabots, sits quite happily on top of rustoleum.
    So Fuggit. That’s going to happen.

    So life and some of its funk has gotten in the way of a lot of things for the past little while. The lab is slowly getting back to action.

    I finally got the irrits with the original body on this kit, no matter what I did I just couldn’t get the paint right.

    So I pulled the pin on it and got in one of Adam’s American Ash 2 piece bodies.



    The out of the box look was good, some work with Japan black and much sanding has brought me to this, it still needs a little work, but in a short time it has come up far better than any of the four paint efforts on the previous body.

    Life gets in the way....tell me about it man...where did all that life stuff come from?

    Love the American Ash body. Is there grain fill in that at all? or just Japan black sanded back?

    I should send you those Classic Blues pups some time if your still after them
