My exchange with boolean universe on the live stream today brought up these two guitars which he asked for links to @jonhodgson Ahh, that’s me, thanks Jon. 👍  The Phil McKnight build is superb and the acoustics are just crazy….   Read more»

@jonhodgson – you & me both (buying it).  I’d registered a few months ago (his website, IIRC) to be informed when it’s released.  From all that I’d heard, his contributions to the book were done, it’s just the final prep…   Read more»

Thanks for that John, thats just the kind of information I’ve been searching for.

@jonhodgson I started working with only a Stanley smoothing plane which belonged to my dad and bought a Stanley block plane. I’ve never used a radius dish and used to do all the side shaping with the block plane and…   Read more»

But I predict option 3 is a social experience you’ll never forget (especially if they can have more than one person on a workshop) I’ll never forget the first 3 experiences @jonhodgson 😉  I’ve done 3 electric build courses.  The…   Read more»

@jonhodgson The lack of distribution sux! Apparently Amazon.de previously had it but not now🤬🤬🤬 I don’t have any spray equipment nor a place to spray so I’m really into having something that can be applied with a brush or a…   Read more»

have you tried it?

@jonhodgson No I haven’t tried it but I’m gonna. Sounds good doesn’t it? 

so I was wondering if anyone had any recent experience of ordering smaller shipments (less than £135) from them? @jonhodgson Yeah I did and I didn’t get charged any VAT/import tax or whatever you want to call it. I do…   Read more»

@jonhodgson When I’ve bought goods from USA and other non EU countries in the past it’s the shipping agent which collects the VAT and Import duty on behalf of Customs & Excise + their admin fee, but it is very…   Read more»

That’s a plus, the customer has to come back to you for a replacement.

@jonhodgson Maybe the customer wouldn’t realise if an air guitar was handed to him/her instead of a transparent guitar. 😆

Thanks @jonhodgson. All interesting stuff. ✌️

Does that mean that PRS use dodgy timber 😉 

I did a whole livestream on it 😎 @jonhodgson Where were you!!

@jonhodgson There is a measurable (just not by me!) difference between the theoretical accuracy and the ‘real life’ accuracy of any CNC machine. All I can do is to ensure that the GCode sent the the controller is of greater…   Read more»

I’m not ready to build anything yet, so I can wait till I see the review before pulling the trigger, but very interested. @jonhodgson This will be a great investment and a few of us will be buying them and…   Read more»

@jonhodgson I intend to have at least one other template with uke scale lengths etc but there is nothing to stop someone making their own. Any CNC or engineering grade drilling/milling machine will easily be capable of the necessary accuracy….   Read more»

@jonhodgson Hi Jonathan, I though about laser cutting them and this would certainly work and you could also try using 6mm acrylic, another option I considered. Laser cut holes tend to be slightly large on the underside as the cut…   Read more»

@jonhodgson No probs, I think it’s important we are all here to help each other out with everything. I know what you mean about YouTube videos, most of them are American/Canadian and maybe some Australian and  it’s difficult to find…   Read more»
