Cut the excess off and made the stacks, glued and clamped. Did this yesterday. Attachment : 3D42B3A7-138C-4F53-BF54-FE458B8121AE.jpeg Attachment : 17B44461-2F10-416A-B39C-52BA4DB36C51.jpeg

Good morning fellow builders, how are you all? I’m starting another build, a Bailey Bandsman again. Started with the neck by marking everything out, this one is going to be 24.75” scale length, Gibso...

Angle grinder! (seriously) @jonhodgson I got these recently for my angle grinder, one concave, one convex. 😁 Fun times. Attachment : ABBEAA4C-6A5D-4924-A407-0F3DEB2B8E0E.jpeg Attac...

And you'd want to do your own thing with the control cavity and layout anyway. Won't you?? @tv101 No probs, I can make a cavity routing template, it’s not too critical to get the shape absolutely cn...

I quite like it though! @tej I like it too, it’s asymmetrical now but there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a different beast but it look balanced and I bet it would be really ergonomic to play. I do...

In between work and taking the cat to the vet, I’ve been sanding this ridiculous thing today, I’ll flow coat it over the weekend. P600 grade on the sander. 👍 Attachment : 4CE5499A-AC4E-4C4...

@tej This is the second Bandsman where I carved more of the bottom horn away. Attachment : EF5D5332-7C34-4563-B8A4-AB17E0BEE3CC.jpeg Attachment : 356915AD-6D7F-44A2-B023-2E9427B6BA7C.jpeg ...

@tej It’s a good thing to do, I did it on my first Bandsman. I’m glad I did it, I’ve got quite big hands and they need all the room they can get. I actually wish I’d gone a bit further, especially on ...

unfortunately top loading tele bridges are relatively rare (I haven't found one that also has individual saddles) so through stringing may be impossible to avoid. @jonhodgson This one is both, you ca...

**Thanks TV** Just had time to open a mystery parcel this morning. @tv101 Thanks very much for these routing templates, a LP is definitely on my todo list. At some point I will need some of those ste...

Making mistake after mistake it seems. It is like I am not able to keep an eye on everything, making sure everything is how it is supposed to be, I focus on one thing, failing to look for other things...

placed my bridge in the wrong spot.. I never learn 🤣 @koendb Yeah I’ve done that before. You will learn eventually, I promise. I find that if you think too far ahead, sometimes you lose sigh...

So my two hot slags turned up today @tej Yeah I got two for mine a few years back, I’ve had a lot of fun.

Thanks for filling in the blanks on black plastic, I thought there would be a longer story. @rocknroller912 🤣🤣🤣🤣

by leaving more hand crafted guitars in the world Exactly that @tej 🤘😝🤘🎸

At least, not before you've sanded it smooth with a reliable sander - you don't want splinters there!!! @tv101 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly

The thing is that if there are a few reviews on YouTube about people reporting faults with their Mirka sanders and thousands of people who have them and don’t have problems, then the maths speaks for ...

@tej Thanks man, I try. 😉👍

So what colour/s will it be when you've finished it?? @tv101 Cheek! 😆 Well, you’ll have to wait and see, it’s not finished yet. Looking very boo-ish! Is this a new phrase now? 🤣 ...
