Will it be okay to rout straight through the MDF or will it cause it to rip out? @russ I normally have a sacrificial piece of wood underneath the one I’m cutting/routing. Clamp both pieces down, sti...

A walk looking for bits that could help you with your CBG projects that is. @mattbeels I’ve made a start, I’ve got a few shortbread/chocolate tins from Christmas that are candidates for CBG bodies. &...

I don't have a bandsaw, so I'm going to be a bit stuck soon once I start the body of my current build. @robin I might be able to help you out Robin. I’ll get back to you soon. If you could email me ...

What are you guys struggling with? @mattbeels I’m struggling with the waiting game. I have a load of stuff on order and there are one or two things that I need before I can move forward with my curre...

But seriously, what was your idea to correct the bleed through? @mattbeels Thanks man. I never ended up correcting it, it labelled it as character. 🤣 The guy loved it that way too, thank good...

Happy new year Mark and Carol, I’ll go and set the reminder for this live stream.

Neck taper template making today Ah the dreaded neck taper jig. Let us know how you get on with it. That’s some fancy measuring equipment you have there @peebee What you designing, a suspension bridg...

I think the measurements Mark uses on the course are wrong! (I am willing to be proved wrong on this of course). @peebee Well........ that’s a statement alright. 😆 ”You have reached Boo but B...

there are a few GF beers about now (though not generally in pubs - not that that matters these days!), else it’s cider, wine, vodka, brandy, cognac, port .... Right, I’ve seen GF beers in my local...

I’d offer to help you with that @boo - but the shortbread and beer is poisonous (gluten) and I never managed to develop a taste for whisky, despite numerous distillery tours in years gone by ... @tv1...

Ook niet van zijn collega van 5 december? @marcel Piet? 🎅🇳🇱

Now that I've got a cable with a 90 degree end, that problem is gone, so seems like an awful lot of effort for no real gain. @robin Yeah, this is my current solution to that problem too. I do, howev...

I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. @rocknroller912 I haven’t actually made any or experimented with making any but I have looked into it before. It is all inexpens...

Those encounters with John, alk those years ago, sewed the seed for wanting to make guitars. @eddie6string That’s an interesting story Eddie, love it. It’s always a shame to hear about people with m...

I like the bumblebee pickup! @mattbeels Thanks man, this is a Bareknuckle Rebel Yell in yellow and black. It’s not for this guitar but it is going on another Bansman that I will be building when I’ve...

This model is only having one pickup and one volume pot. There is also not going to be any scratch plate so I need to do a stellar job of getting the tenon level with the body. I’ll have to use some f...

I managed to get my head into gear today to do a bit more on my second bandsman build. A bit of routing and bandsawing. Attachment : 11205305-0CA6-496E-B3E5-68C8A3539FBD.jpeg Attachment : ...

I managed to pull myself away from Christmas and New Year food and drink for long enough to get some time in the workshop today. I was routing a pickup cavity and slipped with the router when lifting ...

Happy New Year to Scotland, Europe and the rest of the world.

I like ballads too but it’s just a matter of taste... Still Loving You is a ballad and imo, that song slays WOC, it is what it is. Diversity is what makes music so great, it’s all subjective. I’ll ...
