@boo making guitars from that will be a "barrel" of fun! I had to 🤣

Just waiting on strings now, hopefully turn up tomorrow Attachment : 20230323_142158-01.jpeg

@bpower I don't think I seen Mark do an arm bevel. I do remember him talking about it briefly that's it. When I was looking I watched a few videos but I liked the way driftwood guitars did theirs t...

@russ What wood will you use for the sound board and sides I've got the same mahogany for the sides and neck. Not got anything for the sound board yet, but I think it will be spruce.

@bpower very cool. Looks like a nice back. Are you going to be putting the arm bevel in? That was my original plan, but I'm keeping my options open, time will tell. I can't remember if Mark did an...

HHere's the original drawing, I've changed the shape of the cutaway slightly. I've left the cutaway off the back for now, I'm keeping my options open until I see how the side bending goes. Attach...

Back in the good old days of lockdown and live streams I had drawn an acoustic guitar. Two years later I've actually started to build it. Some time ago I cut some slices off a 6 inch square lump of ma...

I finally dismantled one of these barrels today. Hammer and bar did the trick, it was quite easy. I just knocked off the metal bands/hoops (don’t know the technical term) and the thing just fell apart...

I sanded the whole guitar back and applied more thinned down polyurethane, couple of coats. Now I'll wait a day or two and apply the microcrystaline wax then assemble. The first coats of poly helped f...

Well today was different, I was doing my recessed controls but tried to be a bit clever and paid the price lol The bit caught the wood and had a munch Attachment : VideoCapture_20230315-183046...

@nsj More nice work Neil. Just been watching your latest YouTube video. You don't need any advice from me when it comes to building guitars but get yourself some NEC tape instead of the super glue and...

@koendb Good to see hand tools being used

Last week, I worked on the rosette some more. I glued parchment on the back, using fish glue and cut out the details with a punch and a scalpel knife. Attachment : 493F91F6-D082-4708-BEEE-219B7F75...

Well this turned out nice! Specs are, brazillian mahogany neck and body, neck through, warman destrpyer pickups, gotoh floyd and tuners, ebony board with aluminium tubing side dots and fret markers. F...

@nsj Looking good.

@nsj Wow, that turned out very nice with the finish on.

Well after a bit of faffing about I think I'm fairly happy now. Next job, assembly Attachment : 20230307_183440.jpg
