@boo Has anyone suggested a Guitar case making session - particularly the interior profiling? This would be invaluable

@clinton Yes - Staining, Double Staining, Bursting, and Fake Binding - all coming soon!

Hi Wondering if you are dyeing a top. Any tips in faux binding. Clint

I’ve not watched any of those other things ... but I’d watch the Mark & Carol show ... they are a great double act. (Although Carol would probably get sacked in the morning).

We've had the Bake Off, The Pottery Throwdown and The Sewing Bee. I think Mark should be starring as the expert on the 🎸Great British Guitar Build 🎸. Does anyone know how to get this c...

It must have been about 35 years ago that I went to a musical instruments fair in Rotterdam. There were several clinics and as a drummer I visited a clinic of Jim Kilpatrick. He was announced as one o...

That's just raised the standard for build threads @clinton! Looks like a really nice neck too. 👍

@tv101 "learning opportunity"! The common factor in my learning opportunities is the router. I need to spend some time learning to tame it, the fine adjustment seems to have a mind of it own.

@boo just accept that they happen. I haven't done anything that I haven't been able to overcome (yet), and I don't get myself worked up about it. I'm quite happy to document these little mishaps, it...

I seem to be doing it more than anyone else, I bet you're really not @robin - I don't think I've had a single build on which I've not encountered a "learning opportunity"!!

@Russ - I used to listen to John Peel most evenings back in the '70s, 10pm to midnight on a poxy old MW radio (under a pillow) with all the crackles and interference, etc. I remember the first time I ...

Now I'm awake. This is My Favourite Song For This Moment. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment. Heard it on RadMac this morning and it has kick-started my day. 🎸🙂🎶🙏🔈🔉🔊

@robin I remember Nazareth in 1971 playing in Ayr, I think it was a venue called the Dam Park which had a big concert hall, athletic track and football pitch. After the gig they were chasing all the f...

My first proper gig First concert I went to must have been about 1971. Slade came to play in the park in Falkirk. I was far more impressed with the up and coming local opening band, that was Nazaret...

@eddie6string I had to splice a piece of Maple in matching the run/direction of grain, then cover with veneer. Isn't it fun finding a way to fix these little mishaps. I seem to be doing it more than...

Just so you know, I really tried stalling for your lawn mowing. Thanks @clinton - support appreciated 😉 However, it did stop raining (it was only light rain) and the ground was dry enough that I r...

@tv101 Just so you know, I really tried stalling for your lawn mowing. I actually screw down the ends of the chunk of wood on scrap and I screw side walls for the router base when I surface route the ...

Sorry I had to leave the live stream early today but have just caught up now. Another very good session. What a resourceful machine a router is. Thank you again Mark&Carol. Great Team. 🎸&#...
