scojack Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Joined a bit too late for a diary on this but heres what i got .. Been a real doozy this one. I thought i would try some acryllic lacquer as its safer than Nitro...BIG Mistake. It didnt adhere to the wood, subsequent coats didnt adhere to the last coat so dont be tempted. After two attempts I went back to good old Nitro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scojack Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Jings dunno where they went ......found one in photobucket. This was my first attempt at an upright, its a bit fugly but i learned a huge amount building it. It's a 3/4 so it's hard work to play for me, subsequently went to 1/2 scale, weighs a lot, the scroll carving was good though. Had to wind a custom pickup too, great fun That was a blast from the past Owen ! Weber ..my Inspiration for this project.....
