Ooooohhhhhhh..... sparkly...... 🙂

I would say yes to the seam back graphs going up. There was ... I believe ... a live stream that mark talked about that and he showed a 3 piece back he had and it had two back graphs in it. It would j...

@darrenking .... someone with a little more knowledge may have to answer this one. I'm still new enough that I did it that way because Mark on the video says so. I understand what you are saying thoug...

Well.... got some progress done this weekend. Home made rosette done, sound hole cut out, all braces done and glued. All shaped except the x-braces. Will get those carved when the sides are done. On t...

Hey @darrenking. I just wanted to let you know I am really impressed with the slot cutting jig. The quality is very impressive. Can't wait to start making my own fretboards. Great design, and being a ...

Thanks @markbailey. I have not carved the braces. Will carve them the day I'm ready to glue it on. I will keep the clamps on it though to help prevent as much movement as I can. 🙂

Decided to get the back ready before the front. I have it at the point where it can wait for the front and sides to be done. Left the braces thick. Ill carve them right before I am ready to put it tog...

I'm on the east coast of canada @darrenking. Still decent temperatures here. I was raining and chilly the last few days. I do not envy the west coast of canada right now with the heat and the fires. I...

How do you make a Canadian hobby guitar builder happy you ask? He goes home for lunch and gets a package from the bailey workshop delivered. 🙂 Attachment : 20210705_132849.jpg Attachment : ...

Posted by: @ And people used to just point a torch in the end of the tube for a heat source and that would not be a tight fit. It is just directing the heat down the pipe. Also.... do not use galvan...

@powerful it is a snug fit but not tight. I dont think it needs to be a tight fit though. Just set it up so the heat gun doesn't fall out of the end when you are bending it. Not that it is a big fire ...

@powerful . I just used a pipe and a heat gun. I got a 1 1/2" pipe that would fit over my heat guns tip. Put a bracket on in so I could clamp it in my vice. It is pretty low tech but it worked for the...

Man @steveadams. My opinion is.... that is fantastic. I think it came on absolutely great. That little blemish on the black white black I wouldn't even worry about. In my mind, those are the tell tail...

Man @tej ..... now I want pringles. 🙂

if only I thought that would work. Maybe I'll think about building one. Well... on a good note, I get to work off some of that covid weight. 🙂

It is really cool to get curled shavings from a cabinet scraper.... and the wood looks really nice... but do I think I could convince my wife a thickness sander is a good idea? Hhmmmmm..... 🙂 Attac...

Ugg @steveadams. That sucks. I've never used the rubber backed stuff but I assume it would need to be damn near flush with the top going in so you didn't go through the decorative part. If it was me, ...

Perfect. Thanks Mark.
