Wow. Awesome. It's great to see people in the shop. But...... @tv101 ..... long sleeve shirt and shorts? Are you warm?... Are you cold?... Pick a season. 🙂

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 .... I know you say that, on a soprano uke, covering the top of the rosette with the fretboard is not really an option but..... why? I know a lot of them have the fretboar...

@robin Looks great. 🙂

@robin That sounds fantastic. I know my daughter absolutely loves getting involved with the build. She talks about her diamonds all the time. Also.... acoustics are wayyyyyyyy better than electric gui...

Next was clean up the glue squeeze out and start making some center seam diamonds. Just like all my other guitars I enlisted the help from my daughter. I love getting her involved. You never know... s...

ok... It seems like this build is taking a long time but I'm enjoying the relaxed pace. Here are a few more progress pics. I didn't like the carve on one of the braces (upper face brace) so I removed ...

If it was me, I probably wouldn't overthink it. If it is just the round nut that is slightly wider than the slot you cut, I'd probably just mark the start and stop of the nut and then I'd grab a chise...

@nsj that looks fantastic. A fancy inlay is something I'm still trying to build up the courage to do. 🙂

thanks @russ. 🙂

thanks @swepri. I did that "random pattern" rosette on my last build too and I am really liking the end result. I think it may become my "thing" on my guitars... or at least some variation of that. 🙂

And some more pictures. 🙂 Attachment : 20230601_190453.jpg Attachment : 20230602_060748.jpg Attachment : 20230603_135929.jpg Attachment : 20230603_140300.jpg Attachment ...

Well.... It has been a while since I posted about this build. I've been pretty busy and haven't had a good chance to make progress... however I am finally making some headway on this build. Here are t...

@nsj that is fantastic. Very well done.

@tv101 Happy Birthday TV. I will crack a Canadian wobbly pop for you tonight. And a far away LOL just to get the night going. 🙂

@tdunn0412 I would just use the builders lumber 2x4 (1.5x3.5") or any scraps that will hold the router above your work. If it turns out to be a little too short because of the .5" then just glue anoth...

@robin 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 the m...

@robin very cool. Looks like a nice back. Are you going to be putting the arm bevel in?

@brie MDF really has no structural integrity to resist breaking. I'm not surprised to hear a chunk came off when trying to separate 2 pieces held on by double sided tape. Also some double sided tape ...

@poco7 It was not from a plan. I actually just used the radius template that I made on the course and copied the arch on the long rails. I just cobbled the rest of the jig together from scraps. As lon...
