some advice Hi Steve, I think you should get a new truss rod. I’ve never seen an angle like that on any that I have bought. Looks buggered to me Cheers Darren

Understood...thanks Mark Will carry on but promise to keep the wig locked away!!!!!

Don't go tightening the truss rod it after you glue the fillet or it will bend and break the fillet! Also - when the fretboard is glued on the neck will be far too stiff for the truss rod to work, so ...

Hey @markbailey Thanks so much for the reply, really appreciate it and so good to hear from you... I'll crack on, BTW, if I didnt mention it before the acoustic course is so good...so clear... hope to...

Thanks to everyone for chipping in - good Q!...Short answer - It's OK. 😌 Some things to consider: The Aluminium part does look like it could sit squarer...make sure the round bar is fully in ...

Hey @robin and @rocknroller912 Really appreciate your replies and your research robin... Once again I'm reaching out to Mark, I've also emailed him...so fingers crossed... I'm slightly inlcined to go ...

@steveadams This should be a link to the video, I was wrong, that bit (refered to as the truss rod thing) isn't welded. At about 5 mins in, Mark is tightening the nut, I cant see anything to stop i...

@steveadams Its a good question and you’re certainly not going mad. Check twice cut once should be amended to say check twice glue once also. It does seem to me like the threaded part of the rod has a...

@steveadams I haven't built an acoustic yet, so can't comment on the angle. I do rembemer watching a video of Mark making that type of truss rod. I'm not sure, but maybe the bottom rod should be welde...

Hey @russ Thanks for the reply..as you can see from the video I'm inclined to agree!! cheers Steve

@steveadams. Sorry Steve. I'm no expert in this at all. There is some angle on the neck but I'm not sure that it is as much as it seems in your video. I would expect that the wee barrel nut on the end...

Hey Guys This is a shout out to Mark and all of the acoustic builders..I've made a little video about the truss rod dilemma I have and something I would like to understand before I carry on. So it's a...

and then I just need to find a gypsy to play some jazz on it! Any recommendations @tv101? I know you have some very good connections in the jazz world I love a good bit of Jazz @darrenking. If on...

That's not too bad at all @darrenking. Looks like you've mastered many of the basic skills, and - with a little more practice - you could be making some nice instruments! 😉 I'm guessing that plays ...

That looks bloody amazing @darrenking

@darrenking. Beautiful Darren. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

@stevesdams Glad to see things are moving on. I’ve only just spotted this one and I still think the guitarmaking.co.uk apron is far too clean, not only that it looks like it’s been ironed.

I was a little worried at one point in the video. I mean, we know what a Scotsman wears under his sporran, but there were a few shots in the video that had me wondering what someone might wear under...

@steveadams. Cheers again Steve. Another great video......my foot was tapping all the way through. It's all coming along nicely. 🙏🎸🙂🎶
