Lookin’ pretty cool and you’re off to a great start! Have fun!

@steveadams - I’m about 40% through the acoustic course, so I recognise all of those jigs!!

Thanks Matt

You may nitice from the shim pic that I've already discovered superglue just soaks into the back of the hardboard and doesnt stick...ha ha ha

Looking good @steveadams I haven’t done the acoustic course yet but I have to admit it does look very interesting. Have fun and keep the pictures coming. 👍

@steveadams

I should have been more precise/careful with my words!  I'm about 40% of the way through watching the course.

I thought I'd watch it all the way through first, and then decide whether I felt brave enough (and had all the necessary tools) to attempt a home build, or whether I should wait for the Bailey Workshop to open again, and book myself on a course there.

I'll probably only build 1 acoustic, so I'd like it to be a good 'un.

Plus, the workshop courses are huge fun - for me, it's a treat holiday during which I just happen to build an instrument - so I'm leaning towards doing it that way.  But, having watched the course through, at least I'll have some idea of what I'm doing.

Good point TV...

I agree about how it would be fun to do it in a shared workshop environment and also to have an expert on hand!!!

Unfortunately I couldn't be any further away from Mark as I'm down on the south coast in the New Forest!!!

cheers

Thanks Boo

When my new bandsaw blades arrive (yes I know!!!) I can get on and make the mould...

Hmmmmm ... looks like you're going to be 7-and-a-bit hrs away.

Which is co-incidental, because I'm 7-and-a-bit hrs away too.

😉

Yup, it's day's drive to get there, and a day's drive to get back again ... but it's worth it (I've done 3 workshop courses, and will happily do the drive to do another one).

@tv101 Nah! I don’t think so. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For the price you get a quality instrument at the end to boot...it’s like a free guitar @TV101 and you gain a mass of knowledge.

Not to mention gaining friends with builders and team Bailey. 

im on the first available 335 course if there is room..
