That's the truth!

Nice work !!

Hello folks, Just thought I'd show you where I'm at with my first uke build - would not have got anywhere near this far had I not done Mark's acoustic online course. It's a fun journey of trial and e...

It's a lot of time that would be wasted though. I'm not suggesting using CF rods in *every* neck, but if you're using a wood or a cut that wisdom says might be more prone to movement, why not do what...

I started on Mark's Build your own Acoustic course in May 2018. Loved every minute of it and can highly recommend him as a teacher of Luthiery. completed the acoustic and Electric courses over the nex...

@mikeyrjiom Love it! beautiful inlaywork, beautiful wood. Can you tell a bit more about it?

@tv101 🤣 🤣 🤣

I will not say anything about Bassists because @Marcel is bigger than me. And he has more friends.

@koendb Nice choices. I keep meaning to make a bass, it’s on my list.

Yesterday I started on my first bass build. Wilkinson pickups, bridge and tuners.Flamed Ash body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Attachment : F1D85202-9B31-401E-888D-EAE6221E1FC2_1_105_c.jpe...

Next came the pickup holes. I’m installing mini-humbuckers, which I envisage being mounted straight into the top. So again, I create an MDF template for the pickup hole and the mounting screws. The te...

Next, the ƒ holes. Traditionally, the little points in the middle of the ƒ hole line up with the bridge. In a perfect world, I’d also have the top of the ƒ hole aligned with the waist and the foot ali...

Today I g ot the round over done, cavity sorted and made the slot for the blade switch. Used the router dremmel attachment and a straight edge as a guide. Attachment : 20230828_171248.jpg At...

I wasn't happy with the router pattern for the neck pocket, it was a bit to wide. So I glued in a veneer and made a new one. Attachment : image.png Attachment : image.png I have rounded...

Its been nearly 3 months since I've done anything to this build. But I've cleared a bit of shed space at the caravan and got some room to work. The clear space is only temporary though, my first grand...

@markbailey @tv101 @jamesbisset What's it like having the two of them in the same room? 🤣.....A lot of shenanigans I imagine.....🤣 Good to see you all working away. 🎸🙂...

Monday , 10 am and the workshop is open again... and two longstanding GuitarMaking members are finally in the same room... taking advantage of our Sessions for Premium members where we throw open the...

@koendb Thanks man. I’m doing ok, I’m eating pretty well and having the occasional drink 😉🥃 so my weight is staying pretty much the same, I’m not losing any at the moment. OHHHHHH. ……...

@robin Yeah, I was a little choked to part with some of this nectar but I also wanted it to be a part of this guitar, my first Scottish build. We’ve had a new bathroom fitted recently and there were ...
