Cheers chaps! Retirement actually takes a bit of getting used to…………. Enjoying it though…

@rocknroller912 I used one of my new ones yesterday, a much cleaner cut than my old ones.

@frocesterbill Welcome back I was wondering if you had fallen off the planet

Hi all I have been absent from Guitar Making for a while and haven’t done any building for a while…. I completely retired in August. I spent some time sorting stuff - the garage where my workshop is...

@tyreman Whats your first build going to be

thanks for the warm welcome everyone! already making plans for my first build.

Congratulations @wayne_f, you did a great job!

@robin I bought one during the summer to replace an old worn bit that I’ve had for years. I used it for the body on my practice electric build. It was good enough for the job, Tungsten Carbide is hard...

I haven’t @robin but as far as I know Trend makes (or has made) good stuff. I imagine they will work for at least as long as your old bits, let us know how they perform.

Has anyone been using Trend Craft Pro router bits and are they any good. The cheap set of bits that I'd bought many years before I became a guitar builder have outlived their usefulness. Attachment...

Great live version

@russ I don't cover my bandsaw, but as @Rocknroller912 says a plastic bag over it has got to help. I use mine more often than I ever imagined that I would, if I had it covered up I'd probably not use ...

@robin ah yeah, it certainly is cold! I'll certainly look into the heater as that will be handy! 🙂 Soon the extra tools will come!

Very well done @wayne_f. Nice guitar and a great wee video. 🙏🎸🙂🎶

@wayne_f A great build, great video and sounds good too, well done.

Here it is. The final installment of my guitar building saga. This video is a condensed recap of the entire build from start to finish. I want to thank everyone in the community who helped and offer...

Thanks @robin. I've now got some plastic boxes with lids so hopefully the tools will be fine. I probably will keep the wood in the house over the winter......if I can find a space for it. I have worri...

@russ I'm glad to report that my shed is still there this morning after last night's storm. Yesterday morning the shed was 4°C and 80% humidity, I take the wood that I'm currently working on indoors ...

Well guys I've got the vent on the shed but I still have 72% humidity in there. I've stored all my jigs and guitar wood in there but I'm worried it's all going to warp. Should I take it back out and k...
