Welcome to the forum @roddy, you’ll love it here! That shot of you at the bench is great, it’s a view the rest of us haven’t seen for quite a while as Mark hasn’t been doing vids for some time now. Pe...

@boo I’m guessing he’ll install the posts before the finish on the next one, d’oh!

@boo Looking good! I think I will have to start a new build soon. Hard to resist when seeing other builds... 😀

I had visited the Iron Gear site - was worried they were too cheap……. I have used Bare Knuckles, SD, Creamery…. Also have a pair of Wilkinson Zebras in my Bandsman based build. All sound good…. Will p...

@frocesterbill: Iron Gear pickups are an inexpensive but excellent choice.. Pig Iron single coils or vintage 6TS.. perhaps combined with a Dirty Torque in the bridge. It all depends a bit on the style...

Looking good @bpower 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Looking good @boo. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@robin That is exactly what I did. There was a pin in the center that I rotated on just like a circle cutting jig. I allowed the router to go as close as I dared but that did leave a little circle tha...

@bpower . A radius dish for the back of the acoustic guitar Ingenious, I'm trying to get my head around how you produce an even dish with your jig. I'm guessing its pinned in the centre somehow and...
