Happy to see you back on KZread. I appreciate all your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience!

I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I'm in the process of building a Jazzmaster and your Strat build has been my guide. I built a Warmoth Strat 20 years ago but I'm really enjoying this scratch build. Keep the great videos coming!

Dear Mr Fletcher, It's been 2 years since your last video. I hope this finds you well. I find your video of super high quality and i thought maybe you had planned to push some content again on KZread. This would be really awesome. Sincerely, Avi

I'm here only to say, I miss your projects man, put some new videos, love your skills and craftmanship. Greatings from Colombia- South America

Please keep videos coming. You are a true master at your craft. I just ordered another template set, they are best I have found.

Another good video. I want to do a "caramel syrup" burst edge using ColorTone dyes. Can you recommend a starting mix that I could begin with my practice piece?

love your videos!

You're really talented at this :D

Hope all is well,miss your videos,hope you come back soon

Thanks for all the great videos I live in WA. State in USA I would love to see a video about some nice woods from down under and any pros or cons if any again thanks for your time

What is that clear liquid that he mixes the liquid stain into?

No videos for a long time now Dave I'm getting withdrawals and will have to go for counciling,a 59 les paul build should make me better.

So will the transparent stain build to a solid with enough coats? Thx again

Glad you're putting up videos again, yours are the best out there! You had said you were using a Canon D650 (T4i), what lens do you use?

HI , I think it would have been the Canon EFS 18-135 Lens I used

Good info.

Coming back to this video, how did you get the Pigments shipped overseas? To me both MadInter and Stewmac won't ship this over air.

can you mix that particular pigment with polyurethane clear? or regular blender?

Is it possible to mix pigments for use with brushes to create paintings?

What did you use to mix the transparency die with was that water or a separate chemical

Is it possible to hand apply a pigment?

Yes most definitely. Thats exactly what I did in the video I uploaded yesterday

Nitrocellulose lacquer？

stain looks so much better mixed in the clear ..i like much better than the water based stain that looks fuzzy and blotchy..

It looks like you're getting your pigments/stains from stewmac. Where are you getting your lacquers? Seems a bit hard to find in Oz these days.

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like there's a couple of distributors around my way which is good. That's the thing about stewmac, you can get toners and flakes but nothing else paint wise because of shipping laws to Oz! Have you tried mixing toner flakes in it or do you just use the bottled toners?

Welcome back mate! When's the next build video? Haha

Soon mate. I have students in most weeks now for my build courses so finding time to film builds is hard. I do have some plans though so my channel should be more active again

Awesome stuff! Excited to see a build with some new inlays from your new machine!

the liquid stain is a natural colour. the other is like plastic colour. isn't bad, but i really like the natural
