StewMac is the best but for us in the UK and anywhere else in the world, we have to pay all of those extra charges. There are some good specialist luthier/guitar builders shops in the UK, which I’ll g...

Welcome Peter, I’m loving your work sir.

Sanded it back, applied some stains and finished with many coats of Tru Oil. Attachment : EF22BE0E-09F5-49CA-9D5D-33194A9C8736.jpeg Attachment : EF005ABC-C766-45A5-9DDF-42480F6D17B3.jpeg ...

Here is another Barncaster with a bit of resin and charred with fire. Shou sugi ban. Attachment : AF8B072C-D7E1-4939-8542-CB0000F943B4.jpeg Attachment : F7A20715-A742-4E66-9A02-6B69CCA6ED8...

The project is ongoing. More pictures to follow.

My friend wanted to apply some waterslide transfers so that was incorporated before applying several more coats of Tru Oil to seal them in. Attachment : 42920EAF-1155-44FC-A6BC-0A4E09C20557.jpeg ...

Of course sanding in between coats is essential for that super nice finish. Attachment : 254C3DD2-717D-44F8-905C-4D90AA52724E.jpeg Attachment : FC4BEAB8-8620-46E4-8895-6C302E46105D.jpeg ...

We decided to finish this guitar in Tru Oil, it’s a gun stock oil that can produce a fantastic lustre. Many coats were applied. Attachment : DE04752D-F97A-4CE0-9503-9D7B0852D376.jpeg Attachm...

As this is a Barncaster, I decided to put some old brass screws into the top boards as a feature. I also played around with some dyes and we settled on black for this one. Attachment : 4CD53B9A-AE...

I did some essential marking out and then had some fun with coloured epoxy resin. Attachment : 46BEB48E-8E41-4168-BDC1-D8B27522D7C5.jpeg Attachment : EC776AC6-FBFA-46F0-A433-DB920A5C29C4.jp...

During lockdown a couple of friends asked me if I could make them a guitar each and we decided to use pallet wood and any other bits I had around the workshop. I showed them a few pictures of what are...

I voted for Live Streams but I see just as much merit in edited videos too. Maybe go down to one live stream per week and use the other time to edit videos, I still want to see a finishing course. I k...

Here is another. Attachment : 515FAEE1-32E8-47C7-874B-D53D835DF347.jpeg Attachment : 701FDEA1-F53E-48B2-B7B6-9810A79EB125.jpeg

I used a length of pine and some pallet boards to make a body blank. Attachment : 6D18931F-F9FB-4E75-B489-A40EB1C46A5B.jpeg Attachment : B90D112A-914C-49BF-B3AA-03DBBE3033E7.jpeg Atta...

Excellent! Nothing wrong with this idea, I’ve made electric guitar bodies out of old pallet wood, I’ll put some pictures up.

Excellent work and a lot of lessons learned. I will definitely listen to your warnings and hope it sinks in to my brain.

Posted by: @ Thanks Russ, a radius jig will be a little more tricky and require a little more thought. ? ?

A friend sent me some fretboard size pieces of walnut so I had to make this jig. < span style="color: #666;"> Attachment :  0B234C7B-FDF5-4503-AAAD-A5E8598C8E29.jpeg
