@david-johnson09 i think posting templates on 1:1 scale would be difficult and printing would be even more so. Starting with a blank page and a line as Mark does is much easier. Also well known brands...

@jamesalexandermcmillan I've heard that teak is difficult to glue did you have to treat it with anything first

@jamesalexandermcmillan Like the outline of the guitars-from-a-100-year-old-door - photo is a bit small to see much of it though 🙁

I made a few body shapes using my own templates. They will be around 27mm thick so i will have to double up or put a cap on to bring a body up to thickness. This is more of my experiments in using too...

Not finished this guitar yet. Made of a 100 year old door! I made two guitar shapes, hollowed out both (top of one and bottom of the other) and cut slots on the top one and access hole on the bottom o...

first guitar I made after completing the course with Mark last year. The guitar from the course was stunning and is on the forum somewhere (the one with buckeye burl top. This guitar was made using an...

@rocknroller912 thats a huge amount more ambitious than my build #1. and it certainly looks good from here. Nice work!

Probably as the smaller Tritons seem to come with a 6mm collett.........

@frocesterbill The big Triton was collected yesterday. I did wonder if the clerical error would be compounded and they’d send me a second router without taking away the first one, but it wasn’t to be....

@jamesbisset Triton do a 1/4” collett but it isn’t on their website - Screwfix sell it - looks like all of their collets work with all of their routers - perhaps Triton want to sell you two routers......

Made this with a few bits of scrap, an old drill and a drill holder. The cylinders were made from the results of cutting holes in chipboard and pushing an old screwdriver through the centre holes < s...

this is a piece of walnut that I used on a build last year .. [img] [/img] ... the finish is wet-sanded, so feels as smooth as !

Your pics have reminded me that I found a stack of 8' long, 2" thick walnut boards in a local "timber yard" (its a Norfolk version of what you might assume a timber yard to be) a few months ago. I did...

Posted by: @Deej that guitar in your avatar has some grunt That guitar is my Bailey custom build. There's a story behind it, going back to my first Bailey BYOG course. The guitar is still my #1. ...

No video on this one - I'm doing rhythm/vocal on this one (so the lead playing is definitely NOT me!!) - it's actually from a turn up and play jam session where none of us had ever played this, or any...
