@darrenking There are some interesting insights into the insides of Semi Acoustic designs in that video. I also found it interesting that they shape what ultimately become several pairs of sides at on...

It's glamtastic! Does it come with flares and stilted boots? A bit loud for me personally, but I'm shy. If I was in a Slade or Sweet tribute band, it would be perfect. I'm looking forward to what you ...

@tv1 I'd give it a week if I were you, why risk a relapse? 😀

The rosette is rather fun

@BooThe Phil McKnight one could so easily have been tacky and gaudy if they'd overdone any element (glitter paint and gold leaf sounds like something Elvis would have played in his Vegas days, probabl...

However, I do love Boo’s idea of pooling resources and opening a factory. This kind of thing has been bouncing around in my head for years and there are now some really well equipped shared, ‘hire spa...

Do you think we would make any money? I'm reminded of the jokeQ : "How do you make a million in the music business?" A : "Start with two" On a more serious note I'm trying to get something happeni...

A thick flake coating would probably not be a great idea for the top (might work fine for the sides though, Ovation have made theirs out of composites for decades after all), but I wonder if a light c...

@tv1 It is a shameI think I'll be buying that third edition, I don't know if he's leaving family behind that it will help, but the original was a part of the journey that brought me here to this forum...

Is there any information on what happened? I can't find any mention, the last post on his facebook page from 11 days ago about the imminent release of the third edition of his classic book.

That's sad news. I had that book, I never built anything out of it, but maybe one day I'll build an 8 string bass in tribute.

My exchange with boolean universe on the live stream today brought up these two guitars which he asked for links to This is the Phil McKnight sparkly guitar And this is the explorer acoustic (with a...

@darrenking I agree, it's like a guitar that's never been played. As tools it's arguably impossible to justify the prices of Holtey planes, but as engineering art made by an artisan, well let's just s...

Posted by: @darrenking You can spend £1500 on a plane Cheapskate!

I don't know if it helps, but looking at some commercially available small model guitars from decent manufacturers, maximum depths areMartin Dreadnought Junior 105 mmTaylor GS Mini 113 mmEmerald X7 11...

Lie Nielsen are lovely, but pricey, as Rocknroller says.If I was in the market for a new plane, then I'd probably look at Quangsheng, they're Chinese but they're quality. I don't think anything Worksh...

@Mark Bailey, a Bonus section on cutaway types and also plans for a moonshiner would be good too.

Option two or three. If you can't wait, or budget is important, option 2 But I predict option 3 is a social experience you'll never forget (especially if they can have more than one person on a worksh...

Greetings! That looks lovely! What's the construction around the bevel?

@mark baileyMuch as it irks me to suggest anyone act more like a Youtuber, you should probably mention "like and subscribe" more often in your streams (as in at least once!). People just forget to do ...
