This time I’m using a mix of large silver flake and holographic micro flake (rainbow spectrum colours), mixed into clear basecoat. Yeah, this time I’m using a wet application, employing a gun with a 2...

OMG!

@powerful - I did answer this Q including dimensions here if you missed it...👀 short answer is - don't worry, doesn't matter, make it whatever you like:

Thanks mark but it’s sorted. Maybe you can tell me the depth of sides at the deepest point ie lower bout area. I’m going with 100 mm before bottom goes on. Am I somewhere near. Thanks

@powerful We can send you replacement kerf lining - email carol@baileyguitars.co.uk if you are stuck - cheers!

@powerful Acoustic building is a big learning experience but I’m sure you will get there. For kerf lining in the UK I would try David Dyke luthier suppliers. Very friendly firm to deal with. You can’t...

In my previous post I asked if I could try and re- bend sides with kerf lining on. It may be obvious to most but the simple answer is NO YOU CANT all that happens is the kerf lining cracks and also cr...

@bpower yes those are my thoughts also. I have sent mark a question regarding this but not heard back yet. However I feel that like you the answer will be the same and I tend to agree. Thanks very muc...

Hi bpower . Yes further bending required at the waist so that’s tomorrow’s job then I’ll try again. Cheers

Looks great @powerful, nice work! I’ve never bent sides before and I can imagine how tricky and stressful the first time must be! I guess some scrap to pratice (😉) on would be a good idea… I l...

@mattbeels Thanks That workbench is my daughters kitchen table with an old cloth over it. I wonder why I'm always getting played hell with. Yes the sides are very tricky so it's a bit like feeling yo...

@powerful Very nice work sir, keep going. 👍

Looks great @tej 😉

Hey @tv101, yeah I had some stuff going on so I definitely wasn’t around much. These days it’s been better. My Dad is currently here for a visit and I’ve been watching the Acoustic Course since my PM ...
