Hi TV, Pleased to hear that you found the lamination videos interesting. In response to your observations and questions: Yes, vacuum laminating is very easy and other than the vacuum press kit itself,...

Gretsh Malcolm Young Jet This guy might be worth keeping in touch with if he is producing full size CNC friendly drawings

Thanks Boo! So not black or pink then?!

Hi Eddie, Have you got, or can you get, a detailed drawing of the guitar? Darren

Ok, so the neck is glued on and the joint pretty much cleaned up, I have cut the cover for the back recess, although I am tempted to make this out of either walnut or rosewood so that the joint line d...

Absolutely amazing! I saw Martin playing with Stephane Grappelli at the Cambridge folk festival when I was about 19 (I am now 56!) and then in Birmingham about 7 years later. Such an amazing musician,...

Really beautiful job there Mikey! Very professional.

American Black Walnut centre strip (Don't ask!) Whatever the reason for the modification you have ended up with a stunning body blank! Walnut is usually very nice to carve but if you may experience o...

I stayed late at work last night to get the neck shaping more or less finished and the frets in (did I mention that I hate fret work). There is still a bit to be a bit of final filing, sanding and pol...

Bugger! My wife found my secret stash of credit cards used exclusively for guitar making related purchases!! 😂😂😂 Attachment : 605A4631-88B2-48EA-88D8-D2FD2268A8B9.jpeg

18mm at the nut is really thin I’ve got 6.5mm of fretboard in the middle so about 19mm in total at the nut. This still leaves at least 3mm of material beneath the truss rod so I think it should be o...

The flame didn’t match up very well side to side Remember that the flame is always going to be a negative book match ie one stripe will look light and the corresponding, opposite stripe will look dar...

Hi Robin, Are you going to put any insulation board in the spaces between the wall verticals? You could then make guitars outdoors all year around rather than being trapped indoors where other jobs mi...

Hi guys, Before I commit it to the bandsaw (yes I'm doing this one by hand!!) any thoughts on how thick my neck should be at the body end? I have drawn it at about 16.5mm (excluding fretboard) but I'm...

Hey Louis, It looks great to me, if it needs sanding then sand it, just make sure you do it evenly over the whole surface of the fretboard so that you don’t change the radius profile or cause hollows...

Wait for MkII!

might I suggest shaping the outriggers to suit Hi Jonathan, I completely agree. This is prototype No1 and I really just wanted to get it spinning so that I could assess access tot he mop and understa...

Good morning everyone, I had the delivery of mop polisher shafts arrive on Monday so it was time to down tools (my real work tools that is!) and assemble everything so that I can make something shiny!...

I love the headstock drilling jig. Gimme, gimme, gimme!!
