Is it April 1st already???

Thanks for that @boo but don't aspire to my work you need to aspire to Marks. I'm still learning and have a long list of things to do better or differently on the next build. I like the dovetail joint...

Thanks@tv101. After Marks comments yesterday I decided to post this. I've made two with cutaways but decided to try this and a Mahogany one without the cutaway to try make it a little easier. Sides st...

I bought the Beautiful Freak album back in the 90s (?), and loved it @Russ. Eels' output seems to have been a bit patchy since then though, some definite ups & downs. I've not really bothered wi...

After listening to Mark on Wednesday I thought I would post pictures of one of my latest builds. This is Bosnian flamed maple back and sides with Sitka spruce top, Mahogany neck with Ebony fingerboard...

Hi Guys Sorry for the late replies was finishing off some acoustics. Thanks for all the comments. The spindle length is 1mtr and is a 25mm steel shaft. Ideal speed should be between 750-900 rpm (@boo)...
