Has anyone ever had a guitar with a painted fretboard? I haven't but I do now. A friend of mine gave me an acoustic guitar that has seen better days and started to clean it up. The fretboard was full...

@brie Congratulations Brian. It’s such a good feeling isn’t it? The guitar looks great and I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the process. I agree with @nsj What are you doing here? Get back in the workshop an...

@liebe That’s a nice burst, very well done. It’s subtle but really effective, classy. 👏👏👏👏

I managed to get my bench vice installed at the weekend. This thing is heavy, I'm so glad I build my bench well. I just need to make some big wooden jaws for it now. Attachment : IMG_20231217_10...

@tyreman Fantastic build. Top marks to you. 🤘😁🤘

@usadave That’s a beautiful build Dave, well done. 👍 Great advice from everyone commenting already. Nothing I can add to that really. The more you build, the more you get used to judging dist...

@stephen-hayes Certainly a great start would be to fully insulate the whole building.

@robin I’m amazed with this acoustic build of yours, I’m slowly being convinced to have a go myself. And……. I recognise that bandsaw. Still going strong is it?

Hi Stephen, I generally work on my guitar builds in the winter, in the house. I have a spare room that is converted into a small indoor workshop. However, all the major cutting, such as bandsaw, routi...

@nsj Yeah that would be helpful, thanks. 👍

My vice turned up today, it's quite big. 😂 It fits in place perfectly but it will be a bit of a challenge to install it. I'll probably have to drill some holes through the worktop for some big...

@russ Thanks mate. Someone on Facebook just said, “Send us another picture in 12 months” 😂😂😂😂

@nsj Yes indeedy. I just fancied doing a natural wood guitar with a lovely grain, instead of painting. I may finish it with clear coat though for maximum pop. I liked the look of this black limba, ord...

@brie Thanks for that, I'll look into it. When I use my Windows laptop, it automatically shuts all tabs when I shut the machine down so I doubt it will be that. I do have a tab open on my phone always...

Slippery top? Attachment : VID_20231205_103114.mp4

I've been having trouble signing in. For some reason the system kicked me out yesterday and I couldn't get back in due to a Google reCAPTCHA that isn't even there. Very strange. Anyway, I've managed t...

I’ve got all the butterflies in, sanded everything and applied some Danish Oil, 3 coats so far. Not a bad finish that, for a work bench. I might give it one more coat for good measure. Attachment ...

@robin I know, I’m only kidding. I’ll probably beat the hell out of it over time. 😂 I will treat the top with several coats of poly though, to protect it from too much staining.

@robin 😂 Brilliant! I bet your wife loves that. It must seem like everyone apart from her, to her.
