The backing paper is fishpaper....like we use for binding. It's a vulcanized paper! Like gasket material. Great tut Kim!

There's runout in an MDF tree? How does that happen? Does it grow in a spiral like regular trees? I'm so confused right now!

Great tutorial Rod! It's good to see your approach. If I can make one suggestion towards marking on metal, after marking your cut with a sharpie, use a scale and a scribe to mark the edge of the fretboard and you can get within a couple of thousandth's of the actual edge and cut to a greater precisi...

No Thanks L!! Kim came through! Gave me some great shavings, exactly what I needed. Some other cool looking stuff called Myall! Never heard of it before. It's pretty dense! Heavy stuff! Could make a good FB! I wood guess.

If I can share an observation rather than make a suggestion, I was playing a guitar that had a horrible setup...probably the worst I've played. This due to the fact the heal was cracked allowing the neck angle to change, compounded with a very poor setup in the first place. At first, it was really r...

>> Well, dang it's about time you found your way out of the woodwork I wasn't in the woodwork I was in prison! They got me for impersonating a human being! It's a bum rap! I never acted like a human being! LOL!! (If you've heard me use that one before..F off..I like it!! :D ) Yeah, like Rick says, N...

I've been looking for Nato! It's refered to as "asian mahogany". Kind of has a mahogany look to it but more yellow and lighter. Considering it's found more in the orient you southern hemisphere boys are a lot closer to it than I am. Do you guys know a source for it? It's for a repair I don't need a ...

You got her number?

Why can't Psychics/nutbags predict something more 'down to earth', like a major stockmarket crash ?

Oh! There's a good reason why!

Happy Birthday Bud!!!

Just blur it out like I did Spidey!

The crash of 29 was far worse! In percentage, this is just a burp! But just like in the 20's the market "up and downed" all over the place until it crapped out. Ths is what most work'in men want though! You don't want a bunch of lazy speculators party'in it up! If you invested in 1960 to retire in 8...

Speculation, like everybody has seen through the 80's-90's destroys the value of money. Money is a representitive of labor, product, services. As speculation and rampant price gouging devalues the currency this represents less and less of what it's supposed too. Thus we see in pre war Germany a whol...

Dang Hesh, you make Billy so proud.

Ah! Er! Not really! I'm not proud!

I think this is the best advertizing Bobby C could get! Awesome!

There aint much red spruce left, at least on private lands. It's pretty expensive and the mechanical properties are the best of all the tonewoods, strength/weight.

This type rosettes is not just for ornamentation! What they used to do many centuries ago is use these type of decorations to peel potatoes! A real time saver! Then cut the spud into slices or french fries with the strings.

That's true!

er....well!

I think even Gandhi would struggle in todays political environment. He didn't in his? :shock: :D Second I am a Hillary supporter who is vindictive and petty and I just can't get over what the DNC, the press, and Obama did to Hillary. Shoe on the other foot... if Obama nodded Hillary... McClain woul...

I'm glad you posed this! The ANZLF as getting a little high faloot'in for my tastes!!

Actually voting is compulsory here (get a $160 fine if you don't) so we'd probably decide the thing, 'cause most of you don't bother to vote, and you don't have the right to complain if you didn't bother to get of your ass and vote IMHO. We need a law like that here too!! $160.00 fine of Ozzys don'...

The Russians have already recognized Breakstonia!

No Freak'in clue!!! LOL!
