We need a finishing course that covers (pun intended) stuff like this too. 😆

I use 1k and 2k products @boo Yup. I got that far, and realised that I was lost already. I’ve got as far as staining and oiling wood. Beyond that, it’s all black magic.

@boo Msybe something like online guitar making courses - guitarmaking.co.uk ?

You are the new leader! Congratulations! @boo - you can't concede and then initiate your own re-count. I'm going to get my GREAT lawyers onto this, and they're really TREMENDOUS, and we'll take this...

It’s more fun having someone else at the top of the leaderboard to fight over the top spot! It’s all traffic for Mark! I don’t know whether it would work here, but in “another place” I put a phrase ...

That looks like fun, I'm thinking a nice ST Andrew's cross on future build 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That idea had never occurred to me! What paints did you use? Easier on plastics than metals??

@robin Awesome!!! Nice classic look! Love it.

@tv101 Thanks Tony. I didn't really choose the complexity of the build, it just kind of evolved with wood I had available and I certainly learnt a lot during the process. Yes, I like the f holes, it l...

That looks like a great piece of work @robin. Big congratulations to you. Not a bad place to start either - semi-hollow, set neck. I was a few years into my guitar building journey before I attempte...

@russ You've built it in pretty quick time Thanks Russ. Iv'e just checked back to see when I started, the first photo of loose bits of wood was in the middle of August, so that's been a full three ...

@boo I don’t think there is any scrap wood really, we can all find a use for almost any wood, Thanks Boo, the mahogany that the cap is made from was given to me by a friend years ago, it was part ...

@robin Very nice Robin. You've built it in pretty quick time given all your other trials and tribulations. Excellente. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Jessica always makes me thing of “classic” Top Gear. Before Clarkson et al made it into a bloke “comedy” show.

Well it is complete at last (apart from a headstock logo). This is my "First Practice Build", made from scrap wood that was lying under my caravan. When I started, I never intended it to be a complete...

@robin The earth can go to either post tailpiece or bridge - no difference - do what is easiest. I sometimes use a little epoxy in the hole if a little loose - superglue would also work but a bit more...

Thats two weeks now since my hiatus hernia surgery and I'm healing up nicely. Over the years most of my stomach had moved up into my chest and had apparently attached itself to one of my lungs. Everyt...

Hi Robin, great to hear you’re on the mend and getting back to your guitars Cheers Darren

@robin Glad to hear that you're feeling better Robin. Onwards and Upwards. 🙏🎶🙂🎸
