Watching that documentary and seeing the emotion and dedication that Mark  puts into his passion for guitar making and teaching gave me the desire to try

@russ Welcome the guitar making revolution, it’s not just a hobby, it’s a way of life. You don’t need luck when @markbailey is your teacher! Happy building, you will get all the help you need here.

Cheers John. Much Appreciated. ✌️???

Hello Peeps

Anotherstep closer to starting my First Build. Following Mark's online courses I've managed to build my Neck Angle Jig, Headstock Angle Jig and Headstock Thickness Jig. It's been a bit of a long slow process for me but I've almost built up my toolbox and with a bit of space and time I'll be ready to get my kit and get started.

@russ

Your well on your way there with your jigs made now Russ. The thing I found crucial to using the jigs properly was to make a wider base for my router.

All good practice for when you start on the 'good stuff'! Jigs look Ace - half way there!

@robin

Cheers Robin. I'm busy looking for a bit of Perspex just now.

@markbailey

Thanks Mark. Looking forward to getting going with it all. The excitement is building........or is it nervousness. 😋

Mine was £3.99 from ebay. 300x200x6mm polycarbonate from gfplasticfabficationsltd.

You can get perspex just about anywhere nowadays @Russ.  Every shop you go into has got loads of the stuff.  Usually find it by the tills, or on the counters, etc.

@robin

Cheers again Robin. I'll check it out.

@tv101

Hee hee. Your right. I'm going to go around all the shops and bars and restaurants when this is all over and offer to take it off their hands. 

😋🎶🎸🙏

Nice work Russ 🙂

I'm planning to make a headstock angle jig before attempting build no5 because whilst planes/rasps/sandpaper do work (eventually) I'm all for making life easier...

I've managed to build my Neck Angle Jig, Headstock Angle Jig and Headstock Thickness Jig.

@russ They’re some good looking jigs, it’s all part of the fun building those. I still use mine even when I’m building other designs of guitar, they work for everything. You will use them for many more builds. 

Nice looking jigs! Here you go, blast off time. The journey begins.

@markbailey. 

Hi Mark, I was trying to find your wee documentary film to show a friend but can seem to find it anymore. Do you know if it's still available somewhere? 

Cheers,

Russ
