I’m slowly coming back to painting and I’m not limiting myself to guitar bodies. I’m looking at motorbike helmets, petrol tanks, even shoes and trainers. If it's OK with you @Boo, I'll leave the petr...

Once the nuts, washers and especially the knobs are on, no one will ever see it. Exactly as @mattbeels and @frocesterbill have said earlier. A 1mm difference in diameter is just 0.5mm either side of...

I have access to a pillar drill at work but I'm on leave this week so I used a step drill bit in a hand held drill. This worked pretty well for preventing tear out and the other 5 holes are right wher...

My drill bit decided not to properly follow the brad mark Are you using a pillar drill for the holes @rockpile99, or a standard handheld? To avoid risk of recurrence, you can make a complete headstoc...

I don't have any exposed corners on my bench due to it being built in with shelves. So I've bolted a beam where my big engineering vice used to be, perfect for clamping to. Nice workspace extension @...

Proper laughed at that one @bpower !!

@tv1 I've never seen Jools live, but I was lucky enough to see Dr. John twice at the North Sea Jazz Festival, many moons ago.

This guy's not a bad guitar player ...

My favourite song today: I've seen Jools play live @Marcel - he's an incredible keyboard player. And his gigs are brilliant fun.

Here is a golden oldie (or silver) from T Rex in 1972 with Metal Guru. More "acceptable" these days than GG @boo!!

Just watched through the videos @Boo - thanks for taking the time to make and post those. Really interesting to see the detail of how its done, and the kit that you use. Not sure that I'll be heading...

My favourite song today:

Thanks everyone. One corner of the tuner was right on the edge - not enough to stop it working or really be seen from the front (so not worth putting in dowel and re-drilling) but it would annoy me ev...

I often build in ‘features’ as I go along! I think you will find that all of the most innovative makers try to do this as a matter of course!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

I'll do a 'Bonus Bit' on this soon...

@mabbottttt Welcome to the forum and thanks for Mooning us! 😆

Welcome Mike @mabbottttt. Very nice guitar. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

@Mark Bailey, a Bonus section on cutaway types and also plans for a moonshiner would be good too.

Best option: Commission a Moonshiner with Arm Chamfer and watch me make it live!
