Hi Tonar ,

No disrespect ,  . . . but glossarys include the definitions ?!

and could you provide  DIY finishing "schedules" i.e. timelines

for all the different finishes too? a link or 2 here ? or ?  :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:

I have all the definitions finished but did not want to post them until I gave everyone a chance to look over the list and make  additions.

Finishing schedules change for every project so it would be difficult to make a standard but I will make suggestions for resources to that information.

I am also going to try to include appropriate links and pictures where they are applicable.

Having spent the weekend finishing my Jazz Bass neck, only to sand through the finish on the headstock last night, I'm very much looking forward to the rest of what Tonar has to offer us.
