Slow progress on the build due the gardening season, routing out the head thickness. There’s still 2 mm to remove but when the neighbours start looking out of their windows and it’s after 9pm maybe it...

@koendb That’s an interesting idea which didn’t occur to me. I’ve heard of builders ageing new instruments to look old but I’m not up to date with the current trends as I’m not an electric player. The...

It could look really cool if you can preserve that top with all the holes, scratches and dings, combine it with aged hardware. Even if it is just a practice build, you can make it look really nice &#...

Selecting wood from the scrap pile for my practice build body. It’s 35 mm thick so I should be able to plane the holes out and join two bits. It used to be as school bench. Attachment : C30F6E82-D...
