Hi. Took a massive leap of faith yesterday and bent the side’s with near disastrous results. However after sleeping on it and revisiting the job today I’ve managed to tease them close enough for the n...

Attachment : image.png Could you not just have bought a bag of smaller chips? It's a bit cheeky really - "we only sell big chips, but you can also buy a saw to cut them smaller".

@rocknroller912 You answered a previous question around nut files but I couldn’t find it. Do you know what tolerance is generally acceptable for nut files, as in if I want a slot for an .008 gauge str...

@markbailey I am quickly weighing on the side of just starting one from scratch, I might give the fretting a go and see how I get on until I have the rest of the tools!

Welcome Sean! £20 guitars are great for starting on but I highly recommend building from scratch - in some ways it is easier than repairing...and you'll learn so much. I am biased obviously ...

Hello All Just wanted to say hello from Surrey in the UK, I'm a newly inspired person from the content of this website / forum / Youtube channel (I have just finished watching the playlist 'Build Your...

I've hit another speed bump. Yesterday I bought a small set of auger bits. I did a test on some scrap and the bit jammed up almost immediately. Today I went back to the store and bought a 7/8" spade b...

After four electric builds (2 at Bailey’s), it was time to take a shot at an acoustic. Split over 2 weeks separated by 6 months…. Man it was hard to walk away from the workshop and leave things like ...

@alanlush What mods are you looking to make

@tv101 🤣

@rocknroller912 thank you. It’s constructed from two intersecting offset ovals. Not sure where the inspiration came from, but I’m pleased with the result. I’d make a few mods on the MK2 though. I...

@alanlush Looks good I like the unusual design and the finishing is impressive

Been a long time since I signed in. But here are some pics of the finished thing… Attachment : 8E269330-4436-47C1-8440-B43813D92433.jpeg Attachment : 04030684-66B7-4691-BAEF-8DB3B3F7BAB8....

That’s not the sort of thing that you see every day @alanlush ... tell us more! (ok, *you* may see it every day, but you know what I mean 🙂 )

I’ve just binge-watched / read this thread as part of my catch-up. When I re-started reading, on page 4, I wondered how the thread had managed to get to 12 pages long. Things were looking good on p...
