Well Andrew, to save on shipping costs you can come down to Tasmania and pick your body blanks up.

I thought I'd start 2010 off on a cheery note by coming here and putting #### on Andy B ... that always makes me feel good [damn no good punk kid ... needs a good feed and a hair cut].
Where was I?? That's right ... but you're making it hard for me, that's some really good work there.
That band saw was a really good score. It looks like it's really helping you get where you need to be with your builds?
And I see the "Boland Custom Guitars" signature look appearing again on this one.
Well done.
P.S. You're right ... floody is a sook!!

I bought some decent blades for my jig-saw so that I can have a go at cutting a body that way. But I can see I'll eventually need a band saw.
Fortunately Andy B noticed that my birthday is in February and so he's going to give me his band saw as a combined Valentines / Birthday present.
You're such a champ Andy B ... I always tell people that.

it helps alot, not just with the gutar bulds...
helps with heaps of other things aswell.
but the time and effort it takes to swap from the smaller blades to the resaw blades....
