Next I routed out the purfling channel on the soundboard. Attachment : PXL_20230310_143311712.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230310_143151037.jpg 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then a wee bit of sanding. Attachment : PXL_20230308_094309064.jpg 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Then plane and scrape it flush with the sides. Attachment : PXL_20230308_090636647.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230308_092125991.jpg 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Then cutting it to size. Attachment : PXL_20230308_090515324.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230308_090345185.jpg 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@russ I have to take my hat off to you Russ, you're doing some epic work there.

Then I started shaping the neck flush with the fretboard. Attachment : PXL_20230505_083802920.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230505_085038655.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230505_091606188.jpg ...

Cheers @robin. It has been an epic journey. You never know..... maybe, one day, I'll bring it down to show you. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@russ Cheers @robin. It has been an epic journey. You never know..... maybe, one day, I'll bring it down to show you. That would be good, remind me where you are.

I'm up in Strathearn @robin. I left Falkirk many moons ago and went to the Big Smoke. Came up here about 26 years ago. Still come down for the football and my oldest son has moved to live in Falkirk n...

@russ My home is in Polmont but I'm not really there much at this time of the year, I spend most of my time over in Argyll at my caravan, but I'm sure we could catch up sometime when we're both in th...

@koendb Thanks man. I’m doing ok, I’m eating pretty well and having the occasional drink 😉🥃 so my weight is staying pretty much the same, I’m not losing any at the moment. OHHHHHH. ……...

I'm going with gold hardware for this one. White and gold is quite a good match. Attachment : IMG_20230804_160303.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230804_161021.jpg Attachment : IMG_20230804_...

Time to route. It also routes well without chipping, if you go slow. I also went around with a chamfer bit to give it the smallest of chamfer. Attachment : IMG_20230802_194614.jpg Attachmen...

I did this for a laugh and to see if it would work, no reason why it shouldn’t. I had a new bathroom fitted recently and the joiner had a load of decent off cuts that he left me. 18mm marine ply and s...

@koendb Right, quick run down. You should buy the compressor with biggest tank you can afford and with the highest CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating. Also, stay clear of HVLP spray guns if you are b...

Then I used the router and binding jig with a flush cut bit to trim the back and soundboard flush with the sides. Attachment : PXL_20230303_101356804.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230303_095651325...

Then I glued on the soundboard using the go-bar deck again. Attachment : PXL_20230302_120354103.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230302_121124041.jpg 🎶🎸🙏🙂
