Yes indeed, and it surely does not help that you can t reach the sympathetic strings easily to stretch them , if the play strings are all mounted

@boo I used it to repair some ground poles that where slowly rotting away. But I intent to use it for lots more, like making table or stool legs, etc...

@russ Thanks! It will replace my backpack I was using to drag my tools, pencils and notes back and forth from Lute building class.A bit heavier, but nicer to open a drawer then to go looking for that ...

@dhawkes1gmail-com Nice work! I especially love your headstock idea. Simple, but unique ( at least for me ).

So I haven't built new guitars anymore this summer, but soon, my renaissance guitar build will go in its final stages.I did do a lot of other stuff: I made a shavehorse Attachment : 04A081C4-1D9C...

@Russ Lovely work! You obviously take great care of your work, and it shows. Also in this very nice thread, a great and extensive build report. Thanks for that

Nice! Looking forward to see the progress 🙂 Make sure to think about things thoroughly with a neck through, cause it aint easy to use a bandsaw , for instance, once the sides are glued in place.

@tyreman I start working again on the renaissance guitar in september. If I find the time, I will start sanding for finishing before that. I just have too many things on my plate at the moment.

@peter-c-f In which case would I need to lubricate? nail guns and such? Anyway, yes only spray paint and maybe just air to clean out something, but I believe most of the ( cheaper ) compressors alread...

The Renaissance guitar build is on hold until september, but I started making a mold for a dreadnought guitar, I am planning to build a 12 string and a bass guitar next. Meanwhile I am working on som...

@russ wow nice work 😍 It is starting to itch...
