Well said Robin I think we would all agree

Please re-enter/allocate any tickets allocated to me to be among others who enter. Whilst it would be a privilege to play a Bailey guitar, I'm overrun with guitars and my wife likes the little bit of ...

Thanks Mark and Carol. What a great bunch of super cool guitar enthusiasts. 😎 I’m here because of your livestreams during the lockdown as well. Life is good as I am getting ready to start my f...

Woo-hoo! @markbailey & Carol, What an enormously generous thing to do! I of course hope that I will win but as I never win anything at least I won’t feel down if I don’t. 😂 Best of luck to...

Hi Mark and Carol, This last year has been just awful for so many people but, certainly for me, having your livestreams to look forward to and the clubhouse/classroom feel of the livechat, including a...

@tv1 I have boards of century old Koa that I use for my necks. Each time, I have to square and quarter saw them. Luckily next door the furniture shop let me use their bench joiner for a small fee. One...

So it's 300 year old Mahogany @clinton? 😉 😉 😉 😉 😉

It was a choice of Alder or Mahogany. Majority vote was Mahogany and I remember it rang a really nice tap tone compared to the Alder that did not ring so much.

Thank you Mark and Carol for giving us something to look forward to in life amidst the current state of the world. Truly appreciate all that you guys do and the sense of kinship with all the members. ...

So, just to confirm, "Lockdown Lucy", aka LDL, that's the walnut guitar, right? 😊

Thanks for that @boo but don't aspire to my work you need to aspire to Marks. I'm still learning and have a long list of things to do better or differently on the next build. I like the dovetail joint...

Thanks@tv101. After Marks comments yesterday I decided to post this. I've made two with cutaways but decided to try this and a Mahogany one without the cutaway to try make it a little easier. Sides st...

Love the flamed maple back and sides, and the contrast with the binding. How did you find the shaping of those pieces? From Mark's comments, I thought that bending those materials would have been "tr...

Wow, looks awesome! I really like the "stitching” around the headstock. Great job!

After listening to Mark on Wednesday I thought I would post pictures of one of my latest builds. This is Bosnian flamed maple back and sides with Sitka spruce top, Mahogany neck with Ebony fingerboard...

Thanks Matt still learning. I used that stitching on the front binding and on the rosette as well but it's subtle and not easy to spot on the photos David Dyke stuff. Attachment : IMG_3260.JPEG

To prove the point. Now it's routine. Flat Blanks get to dry out for a few years after felling/sawing/planing (i plane close grain woods oversize when green) in open air then later into dry room @ 45%...

Nice jig. Is there a reason you choose to shape the outline of the neck before routing for carbon and trussrod?
