@rocknroller912 although I suspect he will find that not much of it is useable for instruments. Phew! That’s me off the hook. Cosy log fires it is!

@darrenking Email me your address and I’ll send your good lady some for Christmas It is done!

I've just made this neck blank out of laminated pine shelving strips. I don't think knotty pine will make a proper neck but I want to try Mark's "angled headstock with jig and router" technique and do...

@jamesbisset I have a stack of lovely 3mm birch ply off cuts from a job that we are currently doing that are perfect for practitioners of the wood burning art! Email me your address and I’ll send your...

@jamesbisset It’s going to take sodding ages to cut down trees with something safer than a shovel!! Can’t you read them something really boring or terrible (Jeffrey Archer?) until they just dry up and...

@darrenking Thanks for this info, I didn't know it could be used to soften veneer but I would agree it's easier to find ready to use stock. I was only suggesting to James that it might be a way of usi...

An alternative to years of air drying for a solid body could be polyethylene glycol or PEG. Off-topic but interesting. My darling dear (for it is she) does pyrography, and thin slices of log are alwa...

@tv101 As you sow, so shall you reap! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@rockpile99 Ok, that’s not a mistake! It just means you’ve already started on your next build! Why not a 7 string fan fret? 😂

I have many happy memories of Blackpool Pleasure beach in the 70/80's but I'm willing to bet it's far from the same place now...

Welcome to the forum 🙂 I was very proud of my even string spacing on a nut I cut the other week ... only to realise that I'd cut 7 slots for a 6 string guitar.

@boo I guess I will start with an electric guitar. Really looking forward to getting started.

I agree. I just want to try the process. 40 years ago I had an epiphone casino guitar that had major feedback problems but was great to play. If I could make something approaching that I would be happ...
