Posted by: @bpower My next thing I want to try and tackle is using the bagpress fret slotting jig I found that supremely easy to use. It has all the adjustment that you need - just set it up right ...

@wolframmalukker Will try to do a little shaping this weekend, maybe. Need to cut the truss rod slot first, I guess. Thats looking good. Mark always emphasises to do the trussrod slot before shapin...

I have been thinking about, and working on, making some tools before starting my next build however I'm not sure I can last that long. @markbailey I'm not sure what you have created here in me but... ...

OMG = Order More Glamps Glamps = sparkly painted clamps.

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@tv101 Thank you for your input! It is a freestanding garage so it is good to know some about some of the probabilities that could happen. Maybe I will wait until after the winter as I am about two we...

Posted by: @tv101 Oh, and when you’re ready for the finishing touches, @mattbeels will help choosing the curtains and cushions. Yer damn right I will! What can I say? I’m a man of comfort.
