She's a beauty! I don't mind the odd lumpy bit 🙂

@powerful

Looks like it’s going to be a great instrument. 

Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.

Hi. Can anyone remember which video contains the strengthening of the x braces with some type of material across the joint. Thanks

@powerful I believe you are talking about the internal reinforcement part of the assemble the body section. https://guitarmaking.co.uk/lesson/internal-reinforcement/

Hi. Just been fast forwarding through the videos and see that Mark makes reference to a label which he glued inside the body. Somewhere there is a pdf of this label or something similar and I would like to make one for my build. Anyone know where this pdf is on the site. Thanks

Starting to resemble a guitar now. Ave got the tenon and alignment done now. Going to tackle the angle tomorrow but I’ve sent mark a question about it just to clarify things. Anyway here’s where I’m up to. Thanks

Ok all sanding done around step area and alignment checked again. Fretboard test fitted and looks good.  Fretboard now glued and clamped leaving overnight with a view to neck carving next week. Cheers
