@bpower My understanding is that thicker wood dampens sound vibrations, however I’m not sure how this affects the sides. I think that you are correct in saying the thickness is for bending. I’m leani...

Posted by: @bpower someone like @darrenking may be able to correct me I am really not in a position to ‘correct’ anyone and I think we’ll all find that the longer we stick around, the fewer examples...

Posted by: @swepri since it is easy to press it flat Think of it like this: The fret board will exert a similar force on the neck to that which you are exerting to press it flat. If you can do this ...

bridge position checked and double checked twice and all marked up now ready for spraying. Cheers Attachment : A0393205-F840-4C30-922C-1BA276EB6274.jpeg Attachment : AE4CB953-61DB-4878-A68...

@russ thanks very much. Cheers

It's all progressing really well @powerful. Great work. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@rocknroller912 thanks.

@powerful Looks like a great job

Side bending job done, now the pics: Attachment : IMG_20220122_225153919.jpg Attachment : IMG_20220122_225431530.jpg Posted by: @rocknroller912 You can show us on the video call next ...

@rocknroller912 I kinda wonder if it would be the other way around. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching others making their laminated sides and I've seen a few that, when they are done lamin...

@koendb Its a hard learning curve by yourself. I went through it many years ago and have never actually done a guitar making course, only violins. You can show us on the video call next Tuesday if you...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Are you building on a flat board or using a mold. @Rocknroller912 I am using a flat board just like Mark does in the course. Posted by: @rocknroller912 I wonder if the ...

@koendb I wonder if the bass side will have a muted response due to it being thicker. Difficult to sand it once the body shape is made but not impossible. Are you building on a flat board or using a m...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass @rocknroller912 The bass side is thicker. Just finished sanding the other one to 2.15~2.25mm

@koendb Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass

@markbailey Thanks. Can sleep now in peace. Cheers

@powerful : YES! Neck angle looks spot on - looks like there will be about 9mm space for the bridge once the frets are in - perfect. We can all stop worrying 🙂

@koendb thanks very much. It's all masked up now and ready for sealing etc. Should look pretty good as long as you don't look too closely. It's at this stage where I need to be brutally honest with...

@powerful That is coming together nicely! I can only hope my attempt will end up as clean as yours 🙂

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle. @rocknroller912 Ah I did not know that. Luckily for me, it seem...
