Thanks guys, looks like that’s the one! Think I am already addicted, just need to get the mrs on board and maybe find somewhere better than the kitchen in which to work!

@electricstringtheorygmail-com I think it looks good as a complete picture taking in the headstock. It leans forward which is making a statement.

Hey guys, I’m in the middle of carving my first neck and have hit a (hopefully minor) snag. As you can see from the pics I’ve rough carved the side facets - one larger facet, and one smaller section t...

There is plenty of room for error at this stage so it's probably just fine... Here is what to do: Ignore it...for now... Carve the 3rd facet and continue as normal... When you get to the 'Add more fac...

Still looks okay to me @electricstringtheorygmail-com. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

I had a little play with the asymmetric idea - this is my first attempt but actually much prefer it. Would be good to hear everyone’s thoughts on whether it actually is an improvement though! Wary of ...

I managed to find an old bandsaw (But with big (44cm) throath and enough height (17cm)) at a thrift store Good point! A lot of folk buy a bandsaw and use it once...then get rid of it... Also they thi...

That looks great @rocknroller912!

Scrap wood is starting to look like something. It was intended to be a practice before using the expensive wood but there’s no real disasters so far, so it may get strings. I’m trying to think of some...

What’s this in the post - a tube for a tube. Ok it’s just my new rasp for body carving from the Bailey workshop. Great timing Carol. Attachment : 4A0EE014-49AF-4522-82F5-F8AB25403B09.jpeg

@koendb Yes it’s hard to find a balance that feels good and a neck that’s too thin can be hard to play I find, as well as being unstable.

If you're okay with it @rocknroller912 then chunky is good. I like it chunky. The problem is that chunky means something different to everyone. I suppose, the best way to find out is to let several ...

I’ve been searching my scrap pile for bits to make the body on my practice build and came up with these. Philippine Mahogany on the outside and an old bit of Mahogany window frame in the middle, all p...

@rocknroller912 all down to personal preference I guess, personally love a neck to be super thin but know people who love and hate either extreme.

@russ I didn’t word my post very well and what I meant to say was that I’m ok with someone telling me it’s not good enough yet

If you're okay with it @rocknroller912 then chunky is good. I like it chunky. 🙏🙂🎶🎸

Still a bit more to remove from the back profile. I was waiting to get an opinion from someone who plays electric. It’s still too chunky apparently which I’m ok with, good to get feedback as you go al...

@cheesewhisk How far should we twist his ear @mattbeels and I have to say I didn’t feel like fresh air this morning after last nights session on Guinness and Morgan’s Spice rum.

I thought it was bloody funny, still do. You guys are a breath of fresh air.
