Hi all
I have been absent from Guitar Making for a while and haven’t done any building for a while….
I completely retired in August. I spent some time sorting stuff - the garage where my workshop is was full of junk that has been there for a very long while - I had some space but my sander, planer and bandsaw were difficult to get to. Also I needed to sort out doors and windows in the garage as they hadn’t been maintained for many years.
All of this has now been done but at present I am playing with some other stuff so probably won’t be building any guitars just yet.
I do want to build an amp - Uncle Doug on YouTube has a series of videos covering building a single ended 5 Watt combo with reverb and tremolo based on a Supro - I have got a shopping list of parts but will build the chassis and cabinet first.
Hope to catch up with everyone’s magic over the next little while……
It’s good to be back!

Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.
Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸
Welcome to retirement, you'll find that there still isn't enough time to do everything you want.

Uncle Doug has done loads of videos of him repairing amps - this set building an amp from scratch have loads of really good tips.
Think he is a Republican from the Southern States……

Welcome back @frocesterbill, I hope that you’re enjoying your retirement! Looking forward to seeing the amp take shape, cheers!
Practice on scrap...
