  • Love that buffing wheel.Painted cars for 20 years now wood finisher for last 10.the only thing I would do different is sand in one direction no circles on light colors no difference but dark colors outside after a while will look like a spider web.I have done some hi gloss jobs on wood with car clear but you have to spray polyester (nast shit) sand 180 then clear,looks great lots of work.Closet Organizing Systems web site has a gloss ebony job I did a while back.

  • @COlson1968 Thanks for the feedback. I always tell my students that if you want to really learn how to finish, go talk to the car finishers! They are the masters.

    Happy Finishing!

  • Hi! Nice work! Is my Capspray Maxum 2 gun good for a quality lacquer finish? Thank you for the informative video.

  • @Wesley77Small I a not familiar with this gun. I have sued 20 dollar guns before and got satisfactory results.

  • why are you holding the guitar and not have mounted. That seems like that would be a pain to try to paint and hold the guitar.

  • @foxybrown2 it works for me.

  • Very good video! I have been out of woodworking for about 6 years now. I have worked for store fixture companies and kitchens companies. It seems that the whole industry is moving towards those gravity fed guns HPLV's. Has anyone had a good experience spraying water based varnishes? I want to make my self a new kitchen , but I'm not set up for laquer. (No spraybooth). Apparenently laquer still outperforms, but I am sick of dealing with it, even in the best spraying environments.

  • @OBrienGuitars Not opposed to all types of capital punishment or just hanging! ;-) Nice video by the way, I'm about to buy my first HVLP gun, thanks again!

  • jajaja you are amaizing luthier and really cool  and funny on your answers xD thank you very much ...very great videos¡¡

  • @foxybrown2 I have always done it this way and never had a problem. I am not opposed to hanging though
