@tv101 that looks awesome.

Posted by: @tv101 So, next update probably in a couple of hours. I actually waited the full 3-4 hours! Here we are with coat #2 applied. It's starting to build up a nice sheen, though you can't re...

As it's now (just) afternoon, I thought I'd learn from my less haste more speed mistakes, and hasten on. This is it, now as smooth as a baby's bottom (if that baby had also had its bottom smoothed wit...

Posted by: @tv101 Thought I'd read the instructions whilst waiting .... no point in reading them first! 🤣😂. Hope it all goes well this afternoon. 🙏🎶🙂Ἳ...

Thanks @Russ Thought I'd read the instructions whilst waiting .... no point in reading them first! Apply one coat at a time and leave to dry for 3-4 hours between coats. Hmmm, that might be why it...

Coming along nicely @tv101. I do like the colour. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@11.00 The polish now feels fully dry (to the touch), but slightly rough in places. I'm going to give it another hour or two to dry/harden some more, then I'll (very) lightly rub it back with somethin...

@10.25 This is the first phase of finishing. Just rubbed on the Liberon Easy French Polish, maybe 2-3 coats, rubbed on in an area until its almost dry, then start on the next area. Pretty quick to app...

@10.00. The bare body, ready. The colour was looking a little washed-out after the stain had dried, and I'd rubbed back the rough spots. Attachment : 20221105_100933sml.jpg

I've spent the last few days wondering whether to add to the "design feature" and repeat something similar elsewhere on the body. Just in case anyone ever thought that the jack socket was a "mistake"!...

@koendb looks amazing!

@koendb Yes and I made the body width a bit too wide so the top only just fitted

@koendb Yes I used what was free at the time but not the greatest to work with. I will also have to varnish the inside as the chipboard made some small scratches on the wood which need sanding.

@jozefbehr i forgot to say that it’s a Martin kit guitar I got when I visited the factory years ago so can’t take all the credit. Still a fair bit to do though. The back wasn’t joined and was 1mm too...

@koendb Got the back on as well now but I need to modify the mold a bit as it’s too wide in some places. The rubber bands catch on the edge and don’t put enough pressure on the guitar. Made it from a...

Let's get this thread back on the road. For anyone who didn't spot the "feck up" thread, this happened when I added the roundover to the top Attachment : image.png With the benefit of hindsight...

All the best, good work.

Got one in my latest - 5 positions are normal Strat - in the other 5 you get bridge humbucker, bridge and neck in series and parallel, all three single coils and neck and middle in series….. The humbu...

I've seen those switches @frocesterbill and wondered about trying them sometime, but then wondered whether I'd actually use all the extra sounds. But then I'm often quite happy with a single pickup i...

This documentary about building guitars is so amazing!! Keep it up this good work.
