Tough Shit, it stays.:cursing: If anyone says anything about it, first I'll say it's "good enough",l then I'll blame it on my "wobbly workbench" Thanks man!

I've got a harbor freight spray gun. One of these>Gravity Feed Spray Gun - 20 Oz. HVLP You can't beat them for the price. The one I have is a few years old. I've painted a couple of cars, and M/C's, and a bunch of other stuff with it. I should pick up a new one while they're cheap.

I'm using a spray gun, but I also bought a can of the aerosol sealer for spot stuff. The jury's still out, but it seems ok. The like sealer. It builds quick, and sands clean. So far , so good.

Nitro it is. I shot the first coat this afternoon.

The last couple of times I've clearcoated has been with this DPC eCatalog It's easy to work with, super clear, and polishes quickly. I've never used it over natural wood, only solid colors. I bought some of the Behlen components for this. I picked it up from a local supplier, but it's the same...

Gene, C'mon man. You're really starting to look like a jerk here. This was a good thread 'til you started trolling it.

I really can't wait to do this again. I need to devote some time to practicing when I'm not trying to complete a project. My OCD is hard to reign-in at times. I'm happy with the way it is. I didn't try to do a uniform, perfectly symmetrical pattern. I know what you mean about "looking like it...

Let me know when you need some plans. It's a perfect starter.

I held back there on purpose. I wanted some asymmetry, and to keep more of the yellow towards the front. Sometimes I have difficulty in knowing when to stop.

I'm not offended at all. I value your opinion, and appreciate your help. As with using the aniline's, I'm an absolute beginner at much of this. I can build cabinets, and do door and casework like a fucking Ninja, but making guitar's is a different skill set. I'm sure I could struggle on without...

It's cool Man, think what you may. I actually build things. I'm not afraid to fail while trying. I finish the project's that I start. I encourage people who would like to do the same. I'm willing to consider another's advice, and always want to expand my skills. What have you made lately?

There lies the enigma. What came first... The workbench, or the craftsman Glen, I don't know what you do, but I'm a Carpenter. The majority of the time I'm on jobsites where there are no work surfaces other than the floor, a folding table, or a couple or sawhorses with some plywood on top of...

Here it is after a little touch-up, out in the daylight, with a wet coat of sealer on it for a better idea of the color. This being my first attempt with the aniline's was a little nerve wracking, but I came out of it with a new gained confidence (Thanks muttley), and many ideas about where to...

What gives you the right to advise? Standing on the sidelines screaming "workbench" makes you look like a bit of a tool yourself. I'll offer advice, but it comes from personal experience. You're only stating your own misconceived opinions. Power tools are great. I've got some nice ones, and...

I've been busy working for a living these last few days, but I did have time to experiment with the finish, and gain enough confidence to proceed. It didn't mix well at all with straight alcohol. When I tried blending it by hand it seemed blotchy. By far the best results I got were with an...

I think you missed the point. You don't need a surface planer, or jointer to build a guitar. You need a router though.

I was careful to reveal just a little of the binding so everything would fill. I don't the the subsequent coats will be as messy. I knew I wouldn't touch it for about twenty hours, so I piled it on pretty well. My scraper's are sharp, and I've got fresh abrasives. We'll see how this goes. I...

When in doubt, Mask everything! I figured, tape would come off easier than epoxy.

I picked up another 25 hotel doors to process.:thumbs up: After I got a few of those out of the way, I put on the first coat of filler.
