I have purchased a small quantity of tops recently - about 6 or so from Music Spruce Canada. They were easy to deal with when ordering. They haven’t arrived yet - I picked the slowest shipping option known to man by accident. Completely my fault. I am very keen for them to arrive. Can’t wait for The...

Are these issues the experience with these type of drum sanders - they all look very similar - I.e timbecon, H&F, Carbatec? Or is it just an issue with the Jet model?

Thanks

Dan

Not too late - thanks for the tip!

I just wanted to let you all know I took your advice and purchased the 14 inch Hare and Forbes. I was waiting until it got here to provide an update, but it is taking longer than I hoped.

Either way, I just wanted to thank you, and let you know your advice was acted on

Thanks Wayne. Sorry, I wasn't criticising your playing in any way, I thought it was great. I was merely replying to your comment ' I need to work on my guitar playing skills to improve my timing '. Just trying to be helpful and what has worked for me in part. After almost 30 years, I find I need to ...

Thanks Peter,

I did see you previous post about the Inca bandsaw. I have been looking (given your recommendation) . They seemed to be highly regarded and don't come up for sale often (or at least whilst I have been looking).

Glad to hear you are staying away from that bucket

Thanks All, I really appreciate your advice, and willingness to share your experience and expertise. A cheaper H&F bandsaw it is (and a drum sander). If I do need to have something resawn, I always can get that done in a pinch (and a drive). I spoke to H&F earlier this morning. Just for information ...

Hi All, I know this topic has been addressed previously, but given some recent changes in pricing and availability (I expect COVID related), I thought I would ask for updated advice. I am thinking about getting a bandsaw. Having read a lot of the posts, a 14" seems to be the recommendation. It would...

Hi Wayne, It is a really beautiful guitar. I clicked on the link and have had your playing on whilst I am working. Nice playing, don't sell yourself short!! If you are really think you need to improve your timing, there is a great app called Rhythm Trainer. It shows a rhythm and then you tap the rhy...

Thanks Richard, I appreciate the effort of posting all of this up.

I, for one, would be really interested to see how it turns out!

Beach guitar!!

Beautiful job Trent.

Looking good Richard

Making good progress Richard.

I wasn't aware of the straw trick - when I first saw it, I thought 'that is not going taste great'

Thanks for the welcome Gents. I used to have access to a well equipped workshop but that is no longer the case, so I am now just stocking up on tools that can be used in my home garage. I am focussing a lot more on hand tools now, rather than machinery. It is also much safer for the little guy. I do...

Hi All, I am a new member and would like to introduce myself. My name is Daniel and I live in the central west of NSW (Orange). I am realising a long held desire to start building guitars. I have played steel string and classical guitar for a quite a while and really like the artistry involved in bu...

Hi Richard,

I for one, am very interested in your experience with this kit. I am really looking forward to your updates.

Thanks

Daniel.
