Looking good @frank1985 the neck carve was probably the most satisfying parts of the whole build, when you get to the end and you look at what you've created from a block of wood. It really is inspiri...

@boo Cutting a recess in the plate was pretty much the first thing I thought. Although, I want to keep the size of it in case I need to use it for a bigger project. @robin Somehow that never occurred...

@cheesewhisk Your build is looking very good compared to the other ones in the photo

Cheers guys it really does mean a lot and spurs me on more than I can tell you. I'm determined to finish before the early nights set in and the Scottish weather is upon us, winter is coming.

Great job @cheesewhisk! 👍👍👍

Huge thank you to all those that voted to get a Mirka sander, what a difference that made. @cheesewhisk Yep, told you I would be a good investment. 😁👍 Your guitar build is looking gre...

Huge thank you to all those that voted to get a Mirka sander, what a difference that made. So this is it, sanded and a finally took the plunge and glued the neck in. Obviously I was terrified and obvi...

Making a mock-up neck seems like a great idea to me...a little practice...I bought some cherry wood that I had to cut & clamp, for a neck, then decided I would save that for a Mandolin build later...

@Wayne_F That little practice neck was worth doing, and I like the shape of the headstock. Would it be an option to make your headstock routing jig just a little deeper, so that your router base would...

Here's a short update on progress. More will be happening very shortly. @wayne_f Yeah, I offset the hole in my router base plate to avoid that happening. It’s no big deal, you can just cut some exces...

Thanks. No concrete plans as yet but fancy trying an acoustic or hollow body for a bit of a different challenge. I like to do everything the hard way so might try to incorporate a few technical diffic...

Unmasking and test fit, I couldn’t resist. I’ll get some paint on the body next and then glue the neck in. Attachment : AF34FBCF-AD91-4306-9BEB-4A1DD1F022F5.jpeg Attachment : CF676128-7F4...

I seem to recall I once had a small white plastic internal pot for this gun - It fitted inside the main pot for smaller quantities like bursts etc...maybe still available? @markbailey Ahh… interestin...

I seem to recall I once had a small white plastic internal pot for this gun - It fitted inside the main pot for smaller quantities like bursts etc...maybe still available?

Well done, I'd be happy with that. I'm sure it'll be the first of many.

That looks really good man, I bet you are happy with it. Well done sir! On to the next one. 👍

Just a little follow up for those who helped me along the way, and anyone else who may be interested. Although this has taken me about 9 months from starting the research, I have had 3 weeks of eveni...

I agree - Looks 100% better if you ask me.....great! Good advice folks - thanks all!
