@nsj Very nice. I love your little helper too! 😺

@tv101 Oh wow! That looks like a nightmare for me. Good job though, very neat work T, I’m impressed.

Very nice indeed. What is the wood again? Looks stunning with the blue epoxy.

@nsj Looks great! I’ve used resin a lot, especially blue and green, it always looks good against the contrasting wood colour.

@nickKUK Sounds good. Welcome to the forum and good luck with your build. We are here to help if we can and we may learn stuff from you too. I like the idea of longer scale length guitars, baritone et...

Howdy! Welcome and I agree with everyone else about the size of bandsaw blade, I think most of us do. Nice soldering station by the way, think I’ll make something similar. I need all the help I can ge...

Not sure what happened with that last post, it didn’t put the images in. I’ve just updated it.

@swepri If you have a bobbin sander, clamp a straight piece of wood to it so you can rest the neck against it. This will be to remove that lump of woods (neck and fretboard) and crest that curved tran...

That’s right, it isn’t that different really. Although there is one more thing I’ll show you about the headstock.

@swepri After that I drill the truss rod access hole, using a very long drill bit, it’s easier this way as it’s almost like lining up a shot in a game of pool or snooker. Clamp the neck down to the wo...

@swepri I then attach the routing template to the neck blank, cut off the excess on the bandsaw and route the remaining waste off. Attachment : IMG_20230708_142823_resized_20231009_122242599.jpeg

@swepri If you are thinking of doing a parallel headstock, Fender style, then you can do the truss rod either end. I’ve always done it at the headstock end but I’ve recently bought some dual action tr...

@robin Well done! I’m glad you landed on the ground at a safe pace that you could walk away from it. 😆 You got more than your target. The air ambulance is such an important service here in Sc...

@robin No problem, maybe I’ll need it someday, best to pay things forward. No problem with flooding here.

@robin There is your target money, just land on something soft. 😉

@rathius Good for you man, sounds like you had a great day. Can you tell us if you enjoyed the whole episode or not, it didn’t quite come across in your post! 😆 I felt the same way when I met...

Sign up for the course.

@tyreman That is wild and cool. My only issue with it is a practical one, I think it will be top (head) heavy when playing. Unless you have some counter weight at the back of the body, I feel the head...

@koendb It looks truly amazing, I wonder what it sounds like. 😉

Nice one James, looks great. I’m going to have to have a go at making one soon, everyone seems to be building acoustic instruments in recent times.
