Uncle Doug has done loads of videos of him repairing amps - this set building an amp from scratch have loads of really good tips. Think he is a Republican from the Southern States……

I've watched those videos by Uncle Doug! Good luck with your amp build!

@frocesterbill. Good to hear from you Bill. Looking forward to seeing your amp build. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

@frocesterbill Welcome to retirement, you'll find that there still isn't enough time to do everything you want.

Cheers chaps! Retirement actually takes a bit of getting used to…………. Enjoying it though…

Posted by: @frocesterbill I completely retired in August. @frocesterbill Happy retirement and welcome back Bill. Enjoy! 👍

@frocesterbill Welcome back I was wondering if you had fallen off the planet

Hi all I have been absent from Guitar Making for a while and haven’t done any building for a while…. I completely retired in August. I spent some time sorting stuff - the garage where my workshop is...

@russ I don't cover my bandsaw, but as @Rocknroller912 says a plastic bag over it has got to help. I use mine more often than I ever imagined that I would, if I had it covered up I'd probably not use ...

I haven’t @robin but as far as I know Trend makes (or has made) good stuff. I imagine they will work for at least as long as your old bits, let us know how they perform.

Has anyone been using Trend Craft Pro router bits and are they any good. The cheap set of bits that I'd bought many years before I became a guitar builder have outlived their usefulness. Attachment...

Thanks @robin. I've now got some plastic boxes with lids so hopefully the tools will be fine. I probably will keep the wood in the house over the winter......if I can find a space for it. I have worri...

@russ I'm glad to report that my shed is still there this morning after last night's storm. Yesterday morning the shed was 4°C and 80% humidity, I take the wood that I'm currently working on indoors ...

Here it is. The final installment of my guitar building saga. This video is a condensed recap of the entire build from start to finish. I want to thank everyone in the community who helped and offer...

Well guys I've got the vent on the shed but I still have 72% humidity in there. I've stored all my jigs and guitar wood in there but I'm worried it's all going to warp. Should I take it back out and k...
