Is it Saturday already. Iv'e glued my fretboard this morning and having the rest of the day off. Attachment : 20200926_123656.jpg It's hard work being retired.

Itching to cut the body but have to do the fretboard/neck first. Attachment : 0D0FAA03-A24A-4673-920A-FC79C4BEDC4B.jpeg Attachment : 96983678-616C-4C90-BE62-8328DF35DA08.jpeg Attachme...

If I had known it was going to be this difficult I never would have started...?Don't miss my update 1pm today - NOT LIVE! Link to follow...

@johnnierox-boo Thanks John. Yes it's it bit of a conversation piece when there's people here, its usually quite quiet during the week. My friend next door is a retired tech teacher, unfortunately ...

@tv1010101 It's great working outside when the sun is shining, but the natural dust extraction was blowing a bit cold today. It's so satisfying seeing the neck gradually taking shape.

I'm really enjoying making the neck. Seeing you do that, @Robin, on a workmate in a field - I'm embarrassed really that I've not got stuck into neck building properly, in my indoor workshop. That's m...

I'm really enjoying making the neck. Finished thicknessing the headstock, chiselled the shape and drilled for the tuners. I used a step drill for the tuner holes, drilling from both sides. By the time...

@johnnierox-boo Hey there! So Sorry not to have posted anything since this guitar was made. I am really pleased with the finish after 5 coats of clear matt OSMO, all cut back with 0000 fine wire woo...

@seth Maple is tough, you should be ok.

And now, I don’t THink it’s THursday. For anyone BLISSfully unaware of what I’m talking about ... 😉

so im making two at the same time @seth I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your first build, I don't think I could cope with two at the same time. Iv'e got my body partly made, its a semi hollo...

@seth I couldn’t make up my mind of what to make, so im making two at the same time, That’s the way to do it!!!

@tv1010101 Most of my mistakes involve the router. I haven't made a headstock template yet, just a paper pattern, I'm thinking about using my new found chisel skills to shape the headstock rather than...

Absolutely @johnnierox-boo! I think I now get as much satisfaction from fixing the problems that invariably arise as I do from completing a build! Every build, every piece of wood, is different. As...

@robin NICE! Yeah i just did the rough cuts for the shapes this morning before work. I couldn’t make up my mind of what to make, so im making two at the same time, both have mahogany bodies but one is...

@robin I'm never quite sure what day of the week it is The joys of retirement?
