Fortunately, it's not a very large kitchen!! Does that mean that I should hold off on booking any exotic foreign holidays on the back of it? 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hi Boo, No problem. Just email me a dimensioned sketch of what you need and I'll machine it over Christmas once all of the parties are over, the theatre and restaurant trips out of the way and all of ...

There is going to be a flurry of paint offs happening, I predict. With your experience and expertise, I think we should operate some form of handicap system. You can do your spraying blindfolded ... ...

@94dodgedude I took off a little too much meat though, so I'll have to go back and deepen my truss rod channel We've all been there and there's always a fix, (apart from the rare occasion that its ...

Attachment : 20201221_184628.jpg Was super busy last week so I didn't get to catch the livestreams or reupload, but I finally have more time, so today I got back to work. My truss rod is 12mm and ...

So I made the jig today for cutting my truss rod slot. It turned out well. I drilled some small holes in the side of the neck to screw the bolts into and it worked very well. Attachment : 20201207...

@clinton Wow, it looks awesome! I’m wondering if there’s any neck dive especially since it’s semi-hollow? The body looks nice and chunky, how thick did you make it?

Hi TV, when you get this project on the go just send me some drawings and dimensions. I’m sure we can work something out. Cheers Darren

You mean you haven’t been all this time? I’m shocked, shocked! You’re not a Premium Mem-bah? Seriously?!? Sorry to shock you @boo - at your age, that's a dangerous thing to do 😆 Yup @matt...

@tv101 You’re not a Premium Mem-bah? Seriously?!?

@darrenking Your business sounds very impressive and it's great that you can adapt it to guitar making. During 2013 I visited the Martin factory in America where all the acoustic bracing is glued usin...

@jamesbisset Pleased to see that you have got a good result at last

Veneer
