I'm trying to workout what mishap occurred that needed the "decorative hole" at the top as a fix???

After an extended hiatus, I went back to the workshop to glue on the back. Attachment : IMG_0246.jpeg I made a couple of MDF clamping rings to help distribute the pressure and hold everything i...

After recently getting an all new heating system installed I ended up with the old copper tank from the attic and had a crazy thought. What about making a guitar from it? First things first I cut the ...

Thank you guys 🙂 Yeah i watched the complete build videos....twice.Watching those made me want to try and build myself.Very inspiring!

@bjarni hi and welcome. There's quite a lot on the youtube channel too under the live heading. Mark did a fair bit of streaming when covid was on the loose. He shows doing a complete build amongst oth...

@bjarni If you're paying for premium membership then you should have access to all the courses, email Carol@baileyguitars.co.uk and i'm sure she'll sort you out. If you're paying supporter membership...

Hi there! I am still in the process of gathering tools to (Hopefully) make my first guitar.My only experience with this sort of thing is making a few neck shims and some shaping on a body once.I have ...

The others are right @somethingnicer, once you start carving and sanding the neck profile you won't see it...... It's all a learning experience..... now you are already a more experienced router user....

@somethingnicer Most of that will be removed when carving the neck too so don't worry to much. I doubt anyone will ever notice once the build is finished.

@somethingnicer Glue a shaving of wood into the recessed area, make it a good fit, and match the grain as best you can. Once you've sanded it down flush, I guarantee that no one else will notice it un...

Hey everyone, So I'm in the middle of my first build and I just profiled my neck using a neck profile jig. I made two mistakes..... 1. I stupidly lifted up before the router spun down and I dug into...

Got the fret markers in, frets and side dots. Only then did I realise I'd put markers on the 25th fret instead of the 24th lol. I knew something was off when I was doing it too. Anyway I got on and ...

Cheers @russ 😅 I think it was planned as part of the fabled finishing course Mark was working on. Don't think I'll be able to provide mark's level of detail and if you don't hear anything, I'v...

Hey folks, I'm thinking of giving faux binding a do on a current build. I've done a bit of research and I'm looking for any advice from those with experience. My plan is to sand body up to 320. Lea...

@brie I did wonder 😎 ...no I just assumed a mod was away and being a noob I'd need approval. Not to worry been very busy doing the dance between spraying, sanding, respraying..thinking you're...
