@cheesewhisk Oh how I Love they Ken Lawrence Yeah his guitars are definitely awesome! I would always put the front pin on the side of the guitar for two very good reasons: When the pin is on the back of…   Read more»

@cheesewhisk Fun fact, I paid no VAT and no import changes from UPS. That’s always a great feeling! I recently received an order of templates from Potvin Guitars in Canada. First of all it only took 6 days! and I…   Read more»

Have to say ‘so far’ though as I’m expecting they’ll catch up with it soon enough.

Hey @cheesewhisk, did you order it before the 31st December? 🤔

@cheesewhisk Practicing on scrap is one of the most important golden rules! I learned that chunk of wisdom from the mighty Dan Erlewine but it took me a while to actually implement it. 😂 I’ll admit to cursing myself a few times…   Read more»

@cheesewhisk   I think I might practice a bit on some scrap  That’s a good idea. Most of my cockups were with me getting carried away with the router. Having said that, my bit of practice scrap turned into a guitar…   Read more»

I know what you mean about that edit button, it’s just sitting there… mocking you.
Your jig looks great btw, let’s see some more.

@cheesewhisk

@cheesewhisk
Ahh Harley Benton.

@cheesewhisk

That’s yuge!
