@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...

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.

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 ...

@matt beels The situation is probably even worse now than it was two months ago because of Brexit affecting the few options from the EU. I don't know the regulations but when you consider that vanilla...

@Boo That looks interesting, "Lacquer without aggressive odor, environmentally and human friendly.", like the sound of that/ have you tried it?

I'm looking for a water based clearcoat that can be applied without spray equipment, the tonetech seems to be one of the few marketed to guitar makers that is available in the UK.But I haven't found a...

Daaaaang, that’s some expensive paint! I didn’t really think about it from your other post about SM but doesn’t anyone in the UK have shielding paint?!? Crimson do it, RS have a spray lacquer, I'm su...

I think it's nuts too, I'm just relaying what the new rules are.I don't know how they're policing it, if at all.

I think there are plans for examples of all of those on this site (plus other stringed instruments like ukeleles and madolins) You have to pay if you want the actual plans, but you can get quite a goo...

@Rocknroller912I'm aware of how things used to work, but the law changed at the beginning of this year (see the link in my original post).Now for smaller consignments the seller (or the online marketp...
