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,...

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...

Today I played a guitar I built with my own hands. She’s far from finished, no cover plates and the nut isn’t even glued in yet, but I plugged her in and she played like nothing I’ve ever experienced....

Hey all. I signed up to the course last week and really looking forward to building my first guitar. Never done anything like this before - so there is lots to learn. Just need to remember to walk be...

Time to put the two main parts together permanently, neck into body. Dry clamp first, then add glue and clamp for real. Attachment : 525640A7-E1A9-49EA-BE67-E1C33D41CAF6.jpeg Attachment : ...

A whole new fillet has been cut, fitted and glued!

What a great thread @bpower (the guitars ain’t bad either 🤪!) Everything looks top notch to me, well done!

A new guitar deserves a new case. @bpower The perfect fit. Very well done sir. 👍

I would imagine that the 16" caul would be the one you want. My head says 0.25" over that distance would not be able to be seen and the 16" being a little shallower would push the middle down. And sin...

Not much got done today but did I manage to do the rough cut of the neck shape and a fillet for the truss rod slot. That defect I mentioned before (which was the very tip of a shake and only few mm de...

I’m only kidding about maybe building an acoustic, I will someday as I think it would be fun. Watching the acoustic course is also pretty inspiring as well. I did actually build one already from a Ste...

I am starting to collect all my material, tools etc.. to prepare for my first acoustic build. @koendb Good for you sir. Every so often, one more of you makes the jump and commits to building an acou...

I am starting to collect all my material, tools etc.. to prepare for my first acoustic build.Today I received wood and some clamps.The wood is pretty rough and still needs to be planed. Luckily I can ...

It’s all ready for some new strings. Attachment : 084AD9DD-11FE-4F9B-8850-3715B2E8EAFA.jpeg Attachment : C2F48759-B4AE-4ABE-B1CC-7CB48985419A.jpeg Attachment : E92B0673-ABCD-4E91-8D...

Upload some pictures when your kit arrives. Exciting times eh? oh yes. I plan to document the first build with Photos - the highs and lows. Its going to be a fantastic journey.

Thanks @russ, I'm sure I am going to be spending a lot of time with this community for a long time to come.
