It occurred to me earlier that my posts mostly document my cock ups, of which I have many 🤣

These happen when I either go rogue and think I'll have a go without thinking, when l try and copy some random bloke off the internet or when I go off-piste and fail to to revisit a lesson to follow Mark's advice.

So I thought I'd show you what I have made using nothing else but Mark's online courses, now available to Premium members for the price of a pint or an overpriced skinny chocamocha latte cappuccino americano builder's tea to go per week.

First off my Perry Pandsman (don't think that brand will take off somehow) made with a neck blank and pre slotted fretboard from guitarmaking.co.uk and a one piece mahogany offcuts from my local hardwood flooring company. 

Next up is The Toad - cos it ain't the most beautiful thing in the world but I love it warts and all..... a home made version of the Bailey Bootlegger. 

Never having done any woodworking before but armed with a truckload of enthusiasm and a subscription to Mark's courses I created these instruments that are eminently playable. I have no stake in guitarmaking.co.uk except my desire for it to continue to be the incredible resource for guitar building that it is and I can't recommend subscribing to the online courses enough...... I can't wait for the Finishing Course coming out dreckly.

Anyway, here's the Toad
