I have spent the last few weeks turning a small old box room in my house into a functioning guitar tinkering area. What do you think? Attachment : 275D7441-543E-40E6-B4DA-3AED925C656A.jpeg ...

I thought it might be useful if we could post some images of guitar hardware to help give us some ideas for our guitar builds. Here are a few to get us started. Attachment : 12010400.jpg Att...

I thought today's Carol & Mark show was a cracker. Live content and production was top notch. Loads of Pennies and Daves dropped ...... and as the old proverb goes.... when the student is ready a...

Part 2 - Neck angle and more router mayhem...Don't forget Carol will be shouting out and heckling me with your Q's!

Posted by: @ Hi Gareth, Looks good. How big is your shed? I've got a wee 8'x10' shed which looks a bit tight stuffed with a lawnmower etc. Cheers, Russ 🙏🎸🙂🎶

Posted by: @ I'm talking nonsense.... my shed is even smaller at 6'x8' 😕

I never want to see it that tidy again!

After my first Bailey course, I went home and dismantled the unused potting shed that we'd put up on a concrete base. I then ordered a massive shed, way bigger than anything I'd ever need. I think it...

@markbailey @rocknroller912 @boo @cheesewhisk @Deej @robin Thanks again guys for the advice, here's a final update for this thread.It's all finished now, it's not perfection (I've got room for improve...

@rocknroller912 Thanks for the advice. I'll try with the sponge rather than the hard block on my next attempt.

Finishing is the hardest part eh?! What you got there is a standard 'rub through' I think you need to add 3 more coats and then repolish In order for the color to match perfectly you may need to treat...

@markbailey Thanks for the reply Mark. I've been watching your excellent streams by the way, my youtube name is eraser101yt. I'm in Australia, I bought the lacquer from The spray sealer was the same ...

I agree with @markbailey you have sanded and/or polished through the lacquer. I know Mark said paint/lacquer should be thin but this is ridiculous! 😊 Joking aside, just sand the localised area...

@boo Thanks Boo, those are good tips. I gave all sides the same treatment, but the rub through only happened on the front and back while the sides and neck turned out perfect. It also rubbed through d...

@julian I noticed that you block sanded and think this might be part of the reason why you rubbed through i.e. using wet and dry paper around a hard block will tend to dig in as you rub. I often use a...

Hey that is not bad for a first go - I'm sure any of us would be proud of that. Neat coverplate! Sometimes it can be tricky to get an electrical contact with black hardware...you could try roughing up...

Hi there! My name is Peter and I "play" guitar from my teenage days which were some time ago. Couple years ago I discovered woodworking and I made quite a lot furniture for my house and I was looking ...

Hi Gareth, I'm sure your build will be an interesting journey no matter what you build.
