DIY Woodworking, Home Improvement, and Art Projects

In my travels across the often-barren Interwebs I stumble upon some cool, useful sites once in a while that are worth more than just a quick link on some list somewhere that will sit and collect dust on some old page, in some forgotten directory, on a wheezing, sputtering old server in the broom closet of an abandoned junior college where the doors are boarded over and the windows have been covered with old newspapers and plastic sheeting.

So, with that being said, I found this site called DIY Guides, and I think it’s worth a visit. Right now many of the articles are about things like repairing plaster walls, wallpaper removal and repair, etc., so if you’re doing a project involving either of those two things, check it out for sure. The articles are pretty easy to follow and written for DIY folk like me and you.

Cheers!

Howdy neighbors – I wanted to share some of the initial color test pictures from 2008 when I was trying different aniline dyes on maple and walnut and oak woods.  This is just a taste of what I’ll be adding more of later as I detail out all the steps in my guiar building project…

Warmoth Custom Guitar Parts – Guitar Home Page

This is one great company here, folks.  I have only made one purchase with Warmoth so far, and that purchase is still not fully realized, but I would buy again from this class outfit any day.

Not only do they have an amazing selection of all the stuff you need to get creative and make your own guitars, they have an up-to-date forum and a tasty customer gallery that is full of inspiration.  I found a lot of great ideas going through their customer guitar gallery.

I did a lot of the work on my guitar build last year, and I have been playing more often again lately so I am in the mood to finish the project this summer.  It got me thinking of where I started in the process, and one of the first places I went was Warmoth.  Check ‘em out.

Cheers!
