@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...

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.

@swepri 😂 Nope, it’s going to be encased in a glass cabinet. Oh, just realised I need to build a glass cabinet. 😂

@robin Hahaha….. Nice one Robin, that’s really cool. I love the fact that your wife saw rubbish and you saw a bending iron. I’m exactly the same, I never want to throw out the stuff I find.

@nickkuk Sounds like you have everything under control, I agree with all of that. Yeah I think that when things are rough cut, it reminds me of Ceefax graphics from the 80s and 90s. 😂

Used a small router to hog out the majority to the waste, then fine cut the rest out with chisels. Glued one in and left it overnight. I’ll plane it down today and sand it flush. Attachment : IMG...
