Routed the groove for the rossette, lovely clean crisp edges and 2mm deep. Dry fitted the mahogany and maple inlays, all fitted nicely. Then the messy business of gluing it in, making sure all the fac...

Very neat practice run @robin. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

I had a practice shot at a the rosette today, turned out not too bad. I bought a circle cutting guide for my dremel, it works quite well but the depth and radius adjustment is quite basic and needs a ...

@russ Thansks Russ, the molds were probably harder to make than bending the sides. I got a bit of a fright when I realised that cutaway on the mold is a slightly different shape on my original drawin...

You've done an excellent job of those sides @robin for a first-time......or even a second, third, fourth or umpteenth time......and those are extremely impressive moulds too. 🎶🙂Ἳ...

So it turns out that bending sides isn't as difficult as I had imagined. The cut away was a wee bit tricky getting the tight bends in just the right place, but just takes patience. Attachment : 20...

The neck is cut to rough shape, so time to get on to the bit I've been putting off. Attachment : 20231123_130503.jpg

@boo Looks very good. You are so lucky to have the space.

@boo A piece of art! Will last a generation or two. But isn't it slippery with that glossy finish?

Nice work there @boo. 🙂🎸🙏🎶

@boo it’s going to be encased in a glass cabinet I was very careful and looked after my bench when I built it. Now it has various patches of coloured stain, holes drilled through it and solder burn...

@boo Hi Boo, I think it's a trait that I inherited from my dad, and I've got my daughter thinking the same way too. She sends me photos of stuff she finds washed up asking if i want it.

@wolframmalukker 😳 😳 😳 wow, uh no I’m not kin to either of those that I know of. In the BG area, I’m kin to Runners & Richards (😂 R&R 🤣). My 1st cousin ...

No way you're a Glasscock. My grandmother was a Glasscock, are you kin to any Pearsons or Thomases?

@wolframmalukker hey hey!!!! I’m actually a bit farther east and about 80 minutes from BG. I live very close to the geographical center of Kentucky. Eight-five miles from Louisville, Lexington, & ...
