Time to whisky stain the neck and get a few coats of finish on it. It's now hanging up drying for a week or so. Attachment : IMG_20230823_133609.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230823_133639.jpg ...

It's looking much more like a neck now. Attachment : IMG_20230821_171441.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230821_171434.jpg

Time for some frets. Attachment : IMG_20230819_170750.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230821_164737.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230817_173550.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230819_163057.jpg ...

Whilst the body is drying, I made a neck. Attachment : IMG_20230709_125458.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230707_193305.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230709_125403.jpg Attachment : IMG_2023...

@robin Yeah, I was a little choked to part with some of this nectar but I also wanted it to be a part of this guitar, my first Scottish build. We’ve had a new bathroom fitted recently and there were ...

I got a few coats of oil on and hung it up to dry and cure for a couple of weeks. Attachment : IMG_20230704_212836.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230704_212826.jpg Attachment : IMG_202306...

@nsj Yeah, I think I know why though. As I want to keep the top boards rustic and even though they are generally flat, they are a little bit uneven. This is due to me doing a deep burn with my blow to...

I did a little video of it too. 😂

I got to the finishing stage of the body and wanted to raise the grain before applying the finish. Usually I use water to do that but as I now live in Scotland and the whisky is so wonderful, I used s...

Even more routing. Attachment : IMG_20230628_115754.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230628_170854.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230628_115741.jpg

Obviously more sanding and routing. Attachment : IMG_20230623_152833.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_154043.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_154017.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230625_1...

My routing template slipped a couple of times when I was routing but I went along with it and it turned out well, I like it. Attachment : IMG_20230622_164147.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230622_...

Some pics. In the wrong order as usual but I'm sure you'll make sense of them. Attachment : IMG_20230617_145318.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230622_162336.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230617_14...

I didn't go with the oak top this time, I just used some old boards I found in an out building. This isn't anything new from me really, I'm just keeping my eye in and feeding my addiction.

@koendb Right, quick run down. You should buy the compressor with biggest tank you can afford and with the highest CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating. Also, stay clear of HVLP spray guns if you are b...

@tv101 The last set of Bare Knuckle pickups I bought cost me nearly £500. They only made 200 sets and the profits went to humanitarian aid for Ukraine. It was my way of helping out and I got some wond...

@clinton I’m so glad to hear you are ok, it all looks heartbreaking. Glad it’s not you but I still feel for all of those affected.

@clinton Hey man, are you ok? I’ve just seen the news about Hawaii.

@robin It is indeed and it wasn't cheap. 300 smackers. It's actually to treat the external timber cladding on the house but I will be steeling a bit for a couple of guitars. Our house is clad in a har...

Bought some new finish. It's not cheap this stuff is it? Attachment : IMG_20230704_164819.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230704_164827.jpg
