@koendb This is wonderful, I’m in awe of your work. Keep going, I can’t wait to see how you progress further with this.

Hi all, sorry, I have been inactive on the forum for quite a while now. Mainly because of time issues , too many things to do and new stuff to discover. My second year in lute building class has finis...

It’s not a decorative hole any more. It’s a feature! Attachment : IMG_0303.jpeg

Hey @brie This is a link to the tops, nothing secret squirrel!

Think it's a (very) occasional special sale thing @brie. I managed to grab some a few years ago when they had a clear out of old bits and pieces. I now have way more tops than I'm ever going to use t...

Hey @boo Thanks for your comments. It's only at grain filling stage at the moment. The z-poxy really brings out the figure in the wood and acts as a sealer to protect the stained top. As I said above,...

Thanks @tv101 I love what an oiled finish brings out in the wood, but I'd been looking for a finish closer to the qualities of lacquer, but without the need for spraying as it's just not an option in...

@liebe You appear to have been very successful finishing this guitar, it looks really well. I’ve never used that product but I might just try it after seeing this, I’m always up for trying new things....

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...

I think my next build is going be a ukulele, my granddaughter has taken an interest. Attachment : 20240504_152717.jpg

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...
