Planer / Thicknesser
Hi there guys. Firstly, I understand this may not be the best section for this topic, however it is guitar related.
I've purchased some mahogany and maple for 2 guitars that I'm building (flying v and explorer), however the timber is a bit rough, and some of the pieces of wood are different thicknesses at either ends.
I personally don't have access to one to a large one, I only have a electric hand one. The widest pieces are about 220mm wide and 55mm thick.
So, to get to the point of this thread, I was wondering if there was anyone out there who would be willing to plane the timber down to size? I am in Wantirna, Melbourne, and I am willing to travel a bit, but not too far. I am also happy to pay or buy a slab if that makes it more enticing.
Thanks in advance guys, Nathan.

You should be able to find someone in Melb - but if you can't and need a backup plan, I'm in Ballarat and would be happy to help you out.
Cheers

He's all sorted. We did it this morning.
He seems happy, We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Avery's right on don't make a donation, join up. I don't know where you are in Melbourne but it costs $30 to join our shed and $2 per session so you could get a lot of work done.
