@boo Does the extra insulation just go in the loft or are we talking about tearing out the walls? Don’t think I could be doing with a major upheaval but then again, we are planning having some redecor...

@robin Lovely guitar Robin, that finish gives a nice sheen and brings out the grain. Congratulations on a fine piece of work👍😃🎸

@robin Looks great Robin, well done!!👍😃 More photos please, I’d like to see how that finish looks, I’m a nosey beggar🤣🤣👍😃🎸

@nsj That’s pretty much what I was thinking, that insulation would be the key. We’ll stick with our oil fired CH for the present but would seriously think about making the change rather than getting a...

@nsj Interesting to hear how the heat pump/solar panels have reduced your heating costs. A friend of ours is going to have the survey done to see if he qualifies to have the work done and we were thin...

@liebe Thanks Dan, your suggestion of obeche could be a possibility, it appears that it’s lighter and softer than Poplar but not markedly so. Do you have any suggestions where I might be able to sourc...

I hear you Robin🤣🤣👍

@nickkuk Looking good, nice work!! 😃 Really like that maple cap on the body. Thought mine was heavy at 4.1kg but you’ve beaten me on that one🤣🤣👍🎸

Hi Everybody, Not long finished my first scratch build and now giving some thought to the next one (of course🤣🤣). I’m really pleased with the result on my build the mahogany body and n...

@robin Looking good already Robin, fantastic job👍😃 Been having a look at the acoustic build course and already I can feel Mark’s can do attitude beginning to draw me in!!🤣...

@boo Thanks Boo, it’s not perfect but that’s why there has to be the next one, isn’t it? 👍🤣 I have been back in the workshop but doing something a bit more down to earth - fixing a cou...

@swepri Yes there’s a special feeling to playing something you’ve made. There’s also that strange mixture of feelings when I finish a project, part pride and satisfaction and part disappointment that ...

@nsj I’m getting used to the weight of it, maybe I’m building up my muscles!!🤣🤣 Not sure that my good lady would be too chuffed with me building 19 guitars, future projects may need to...

@sanjeevmansotra You’re welcome Sanjeev, I hope you enjoy practicing and once you get the hang of some of those patterns, you can try some of your own 👍😃🎸

@markbailey Thanks for your kind words Mark, I would have been very reluctant to start on such an endeavour without your fantastic videos and the end result would not have been of the same quality. I ...

@liebe Thanks Dan, having a rest for a while, at least until the weather is a bit warmer, then get going on the next one👍😃🎸

@russ Thanks Russ, bit on the heavy side but otherwise I’m well pleased with it. Going to have a look at the acoustic course but I think I’ll probably do another electric come the spring time.👍...

@robin Thanks Robin, it’s been a blast and I really only want to have look at the Acoustic course, honest!!🤣🤣 Thing is, you know how you always have bits left over when you finish a jo...

Hi Everyone, Must say I’m as proud as punch today having finished my first attempt at building an electric guitar from scratch. Thanks to Mark’s fantastic course, I’m now the proud owner of a guitar t...
