can't remember this really, was only few weeks old. but wouldn't mind spending rest of my life in 70's and 80's.

I whacked the goat Bud Spender style there you can built trust, by not hurting them just showing 'don't do that'. as a kid had a 'pretty bad' cat that I picked up to carry downstairs. he put his claws in my head and bit me, I threw him to the ground and he was standing before a closed door. looked at me afraid, could have kicked him but I just opened the door calmly....were BFF's then. my girlfriend had a pretty 'bad' dog that bit me in the nuts. I kicked him realy hard in a reflex but thought to kick his butt so he didn't break anything. he cried and ran away, I left him alone and in the evening just took him for a walk like always....again BFF's.

one advised when I used simular stuff on old Onkyo Audio receiver, to clean after using spray. reaon: dirt/dust etc would stick to spray plus electricity transfers better on clean metal. (I'm no expert...just DIY guitar and car work)

Michael, best to check frets with guitar in playing position/strings on. (taking off strings/laying guitar down will change the neck relief). fret rocker will rock somewhat on many spots always on any guitar (even on plec'd Gibsons !) Would advise to just work on the real obvious/extreme rocking frets (if there are any) First try a little whack with brass/plastic hammer on high fret, maybe it's not pressed in well.... Sometimes you can actually see that with magnifying glass (or good eyes) or looking down the neck from the headstock.

never cared for sf but did like this Star Trek

I use the Stewmac centered Z-file, expensive but worth it imo....the crowning goes so fast and without even touching the center of the frets. also have the FretGuru file, on new/high frets it can file the center of the fret sometimes, but for frets till 1 mm will be fine probably. Real handy shape too, that one.....and it leaves a nicer surface than the Stewmac which you have to sand/buff to get shiny again. also have their Fret Kisser, mine doesn't do the job as intended (Stewmac gave me money back immediately without a hassle). However I do use it always for taking high frets down, but in a 45' angle (pointing 1 end to the E string) since in a a straight line par with the strings it doesn't work. For anyone wanting to try leveling frets, I would advise not to use a beam.....maybe a full neck size radius beam on a straight neck would work though. But I found with a 10 inch straight beam and also radius sanding blocks I took off a lot of material/height and not getting real levelled frets....the beam always 'rides' over the high frets and puts itself in an angle so then takes down frets that it shouldn't. Imo best to just take down any high frets that cause buzzing/chocking. Also be careful with fret rockers, most of them are not correct....and whenever it rocks can mean you have a high, but also a low fret....pretty tricky to level your neck with a rocker...it might seem there is a problem, it might not be....and you can be causing problems hahaha. So the whole leveling....imo forget it...you'll find a real problem fret somehow and just fix that one or two... sorry for the rant, but hope it saves someone a neck or two...

I have a strat, 81euro/90usd brand new incl delivery that is just AWESOME pickups are crab, plastic nut and frets won't last long....but the (basswood I guess) guitar and maple neck are killer. just alone that maple neck and how great it feels, everyone who picks it up just loves that thing. also have a Rockson cheapo strat with nice neck but a cardboard body it seems....so a real beginner thing. the Fazley is at least as good a Affinity or Standard Squier, but neck is nicer.

have never built a guitar but I wouldn't try myself. in a guitar factory the neck fitting is done by a trained/specialist worker who fe uses shims in the joint pocket to get the neck on correctly. (had this on my Squier fe ), not sure if the neck and neck pocket on a kit are prepd to go on a 100% straight... I have done refrets, fretwork and setups but really if you want to save money -> go to a tech/luthier. after bying good tools, you'll need to do a lot of guitars to break even. if like me, you like the 'adventure' and like to learn it.....sure go ahead. oh, for less money of the kit, you can get a simular guitar from Vintage (in lots of colors/editions/types), just with the Wilkinson economy (china) and maybe better Wilkinson (Korea) pu's......not the best Wilkinson's you get with the kit. google: vintage v6 strat

Video , rescue crane tips over (driver survived)
Sheens replied to Sheens's topic in The Coffee House
Craig, any pics of next couple rescue attempts ? I see now they gave up after ? trucks and do an annual memorial festival instead (with live band, witness testimonials, drivers hall of shame). There's a bbq, plenty of drinks and you can sing along with Holy Diver, Rescue Me, Roll Over Lay Down etc etc. Local priest blessing new rescue trucks entering service. Sea and port were renamed 'Trucknicker'
