My favourite song today:

Very nice. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I'm also planning on documenting my guitar building journey.

@Wayne_F Yikes! That must have been a lot of work to cut through. I'm envious of your 6" blank haha It wasn't as hard work as it looks, I had cut 2" deep from each side with a circular saw before ha...

@robin Yikes! That must have been a lot of work to cut through. I'm envious of your 6" blank haha

@poco7 That's awesome that you found someone not too far who could cut you a blank that's more than big enough. The one I ordered was advertised as 4X4 but it's actually 4-1/16 thick X 3-7/8 wide. Oh ...

My next handmade tool is not as extravagant as the sander but it works. I had some old roller skates in the shed. I took the bearings out of them and make a fretwire bending tool. Not fancy but it wor...

Here are a few more progression pictures of my wifes guitar. I think next time I'm going to handle the arm bevel a little differently but, overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Not perfect by any means ...

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

Yikes! that's a lot of work, @Wayne_F on yer shoulder, no doubt. I was fortunate to find a couple of guitar builders whom sent me a couple of neck blanks at a fantastic price...2 3/8" x 4 1/4" Quart...

anyway, if you want to follow on and give me some tips along the way, the first video is here... Subscribed! 😀

That’s great to hear! I have a long way to go to get to your point… but really enjoying the process along the way

Hey @jamesonguitar. The second build is going soooooo much better now that I know what to expect and I know the parts that I really messed up with my first one. I know the parts that I needed to slow ...

Cheers, much appreciated! i actually had made an error that i didn’t get on camera so didn’t bother explaining . In charging ahead i had forgotten you have to keep the heel block from the neck blank...

@jamesonguitar I think you’re doing ok so far and you’ve made a good video.

Thanks Bpower. I quite enjoyed the meditative part of it really. But it would probably be a waste of time to do it very often! in answer to both of you about hand planes… i have bought two, but they a...

@jamesonguitar And buy a hand sander! A hand plane is a very useful tool too, and much .more fun than sanding.

Cheers! yeah, basically by the time i finished, the acrylic arrived… but i learned something: sanding can be fun, for a while with some music on. And buy a hand sander!

@jamesonguitar Welcome to the group, I'll be watching with interest as I intend to build an acoustic at some point, also by following Mark's course. While I admire you're dedication to sanding, I thi...

Hi all, I've bitten the bullet and signed up for the fantastic acoustic guitar making course here! I am a complete novice with any sort of woodworking... so this may end up being a little hard than ...

Welcome @jamesonguitar. Cool video. I agree with @robin. You have a lot more patience than I do. I would not have made it through that much sanding. :). Great perseverance. I was watching and think......
