Don’t over think it Boo, it took me 40 years to start building my first acoustic, once I did it took about 3 months to have it strung and playable. Anything you need I may be able to help you with. Ti...

Took a minute for this to sink in when I spotted it @rocknroller912 Yeah, he only uses the first 3 frets. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@russ I use Frog Tape these days. It’s quite expensive but it’s amazing quality and there are different types for different situations. Cheaper brands are just not cutting it for me and a lot leave a ...

Where do you buy your masking tape from @boo? @russ Masking tape shop. 🤣

A bit of fancy back-masking and it’s nearly ready for primer. I’ll just mask off the rest of the guitar properly first before a put paint in my gun. Attachment : 2882835C-95FF-43D1-8FFD-C1E82469E...

Clearly you’ve not tried their router! @irishwhiskeycoke @tej Yep their routers are set to kill, as well as their drills. 👎

I agree with you but my Aldi band saw has been a cracking little tool for the £60 or whatever I paid for it. Admittedly it was the size that appealed more than anything when I got it, at that time I h...

I only have stain as opposed to paint and no spray gear. The potential for making it worse is definitely there if I do try to “fix” it 😬 Anyway, who told you about the drill bits and chisel fe...

I’m not a fan of budget range power tools from Aldi or Lidl any more. It was a novelty at first but over time they are not good tools. They break, burn out or become frustrating to use. It’s a false e...

@tej First of all, I think the guitar looks great, great job. If it was me, I would leave it, the glue doesn’t really stand out that much and it’s not in a noticeable place. If I really did want to ...

That’s a lot of work @mattbeels It is indeed but it’s what I need to do. Next time I will glue the neck in and then put a cap over the whole body top to cover the joint. They are both challenging in ...

This is the skim fill for those pinholes. I just need to sand it back with some 240 and then it’s time for some high build primer. Attachment : EE2B77B6-8BD0-4AEE-9702-A25EC0BBCD47.jpeg

It’s looking a bit better now, I’ve feathered out the paint around the repair and I just need to skim fill those tiny pinholes (final filler coat). Attachment : E9601E86-BF20-424E-9819-7D747E6C72...

I applied a second coat if filler (after sanding the first one back a bit) and sanded it fairly flat. I’ll probably get it spot on with the next filler coat. Attachment : 6C9CFFE8-C19C-4500-B970-...

Time for a little filler. I’m using a two component, lightweight filler that can be sanded within a few minutes of curing, which is about 10 mins. I first drilled a load of holes, only about 5mm deep,...

There’s nothing quite like it. So Mark Bailey I thank you, for putting together this course and community who have been so amazingly helpful and kind spirited during my ‘learning experiences’. @chees...

You've got all the bagpress toys. I think I need to befriend him. 🙂 @bpower He is a very nice chap, I’m sure he will be glad to help you out. @darrenking The guitar is looking awesome.... f...

A spot of routing. The Bagpress routing jig came in handy for this job. I had to add an extra piece of wood into the jig so the cutter bearing could ride along the bottom of the fretboard. It’s all co...

@robin Thanks for passing the idea on though, it’s one to bear in mind for the future. 👍

@mattbeels “Laugh it up, fuzzball” I wanted to try painting them separately to see if it would be easier and cleaner. It is in some respects and if I didn’t have to fill and paint over the tenon, it ...
