I have accidentally clicked on the big ‘Delete Course’ button and have lost access to the acoustic build videos. Could you reinstate me please? Thanks Darren

Hi Guys As I'm still really a newbie to the guitar building with Mark. I just need to be a sponge and soak up anything and everything so this forum is really helpful. The workshop tools etc just take ...

Can someone tell me how to put pictures up on the thread This might help: how-to-upload-images-videos Let me know if it is not working for you - there is a 'time delay spam filter' thingy that someti...

Thanks Darren Yes I know the propane heater is a no no. just needed to see if the RH level could get down to anything close to a working environment. Which it did so will continue with the insulation ...

The problem with any gas burner is that water is produced in the combustion process so if you are trying to reduce the humidity this method of heating will be adding more humidity that your dehumidifi...

Yes I have read the dessicant ones are better for workshop/garages. didn't know about the temp reason though 😉 I will try and get some pics up to the thread but not sure how atm I have already covered...

Most dehumidifiers don't work too well at low temps (below 12 is too cold really for them to be efficient) My advice is to crank up the oil filled radiator a bit - at normal room temps the dehumidifie...

UPDATE Ok two dehumidifiers going 24/7. One 2500Watt oil heater left about half way up on the thermostat, to keep the frost out over night. So two days later at 9 am and the RH level is down to a stea...

Great Q - Thanks! Yes it can be a bit of a nightmare in a draughty shed. In the middle of winter...in the UK... If you do not have any 'proper' heating available then I believe that the best solution ...

I have a question regarding humidity for you Mark. Do you use a dehumidifier in the workshop and if so which one would you recommend. Or is there another way? The garage I am in the process of convert...

Oh, I meant to mention that sticking tape around underneath the kerfed strips and around the neck and bottom blocks when gluing really makes cleaning up a doddle!

Hi again, So, another weekend of work and a few more steps of progress. I have made an external mould with expanding internal clamps and have machined the neck and bottom blocks from maple. I have cut...

I source most of my veneers from Capital Crispin in London. I first bought veneer from Crispins as a student in 1984 when they were based in Curtain Road in Shoreditch and they are some of the nicest ...

Hi again, there’s one other point that is worth making regards using laminated backs and sides. I don’t bang on about eco topics very often (FSC requirements are a constant pain in my day job!) but us...

Hi Mark and thank you for your feedback, The laminated sides have turned out better than I could have hoped. They have sprung by about 0.5mm from the mould ie not at all and, other than a bit of epoxy...

Holy Moly Darren - Amazing pics - Great work! The original Maccaferri Guitars were made this way so why not - I call it posh plywood. It should be stiffer and stronger - both good things - Just have t...

Having got bored waiting for my my bending iron to arrive and having read some articles and watched some videos where laminated backs and sides were actually put forward as having some distinct benefi...

Great build - excellent set of pictures - thanks!

I must say that my experience with wipe on poly is based on usage with maple, pine and rosewood.... Not with wenge.... Too bad you didn't get the result you're looking for....
