@koendb there must have been flaws in this wood from the beginning. Gotta love the unpredictability of wood. 🙂 I think it is still a good call to keep going. I believe if you can get to the point of g...

@koendb Fantastic. Good to hear everything worked out. Can't wait to see it progress. Good job. 🙂

I would probably try and glue it with wood glue, put it back in the soundboard clamping jig for pressure, and then just consider that a second glue seam with some cleats on the inside to stretch acros...

@rashdown_online oh my that is beautiful. I kinda want one of those now. 🙂

@boo omg.... you are a wizard. that looks fantastic. 🙂

@robin that's why you bring friends. It's a team sport now. 🙂

@koendb nice grain on the back panel. 🙂

@rocknroller912 yup. Sounds like a dream. 🙂 Plus I think my wife's ancestry is over in Scotland. I think it is on our bucket list anyway so..... two birds one stone? 🙂

@rocknroller912 it is sounding like I need to start saving my change. I would love to see that part of the world. 🙂

@koendb. I would think that a slight curve to the board would not cause any problems. The board is thin enough that when you glue the thick braces on it will take that shape. If the wedges were too ti...

@jaxty Cool. I love Cape Breton. Me and the guys all gather once a year at a golf course on cape breton island for a fun filled golfing/drinking/guitar playing weekend. It's always a blast. My wife ha...

Took some time and decided to get my drawing done for my next guitar build. My wife said to me, after the drawing was done, I needed to help with the house chores. So...... I did three different views...

Welcome @jaxty. I'm on the east coast of canada, the border between NS and NB. We need more Canadian content on here. This could be a slow Canadian takeover. And we won't be sorry. 🙂

@jaxty Fantastic song. I absolutely love the Hip. So many great songs. 🙂

Welcome @steveshandley-plus-com . Have fun along the way. Post progress pictures. We all love to see things coming together. And you couldn't find a better place to ask questions. 🙂

You are welcome @koendb. Mark did use a 6mm bit. I personally just found the bolt I was going to use and then just measured the shank and picked a drill bit that worked. The one I found in my part of ...

I would think that the length of the bolts would be determined by the thickness of your heel block. Since the heel block is roughly 40mm I would say you should use a bolt 40mm. Any longer and the bolt...

@wolframmalukker. That doesn't look too bad. If it is going to be fully covered with the fretboard anyway I would consider just leaving it.. but.. I know if it was me and I would be consistently think...

Well. Decided to try out the Bagpress fret slotting jig tonight. Couldn't have been happier with it. Shout out to @darrenking. This jig was super easy to set up and rock solid to use. The fret board l...

I have been thinking about, and working on, making some tools before starting my next build however I'm not sure I can last that long. @markbailey I'm not sure what you have created here in me but... ...
