@liebe Hi Dan, A planner/thicknesser or a thicknesser & a surface planner are great things to have if you are going to be using rough timber. For the cheaper option or if you have limited space y...

Hi all, sorry, I have been inactive on the forum for quite a while now. Mainly because of time issues , too many things to do and new stuff to discover. My second year in lute building class has finis...

Thanks for all the tips folks. I used the smallwonder-music.co.uk black CA with a tooth pick on the first pass. I’ve got some micro-tip applicators but they were far too fine for the cavernous gaps I ...

It’s not a decorative hole any more. It’s a feature! Attachment : IMG_0303.jpeg

@liebe Thanks for the link Dan, now I’ve looked I remember having a browse through the tops a while ago, memory not what it used to be!!🤣🤣

Well this turned out nice, sounds great, plays great but I'll probably get a green arm at some point lol Final video will be up in a day or two on my youtube, NSJGuitars Attachment : SquarePic...

I was fortunate to be able to grab a CNC machine a couple of years ago (a friend was upgrading and so selling his old machine). It's really just a router but controlled by the computer rather than a...

@liebe You appear to have been very successful finishing this guitar, it looks really well. I’ve never used that product but I might just try it after seeing this, I’m always up for trying new things....

And a bit more, tops glued on, edges filed and sanded over and my tele neck pickup ring finally arrived. Also copper on headstock and logo on trussrod cover. Drilled the temp screw holes I used to hol...

As usual it's all on my youtube including the cheek clenching latest episode lol

Dear reader, it was too thick to go through the nozzle. I took the nozzle off and managed to squeeze out a glutinous blob, but I’m not going to risk that on my headstock or inlays.

@jamesbisset. Little tips for looking after your super glue, James. Keep it in the fridge inside a sealed plastic bag upright so all the glue sits in the bottom of the bottle. Before you put it in t...

I don't recall seeing that finishing approach before - what prompted you to try that? It's certainly looking good in the pics. I've never finished a build without a similar opportunity presenting ...

@liebe Thanks Dan. It looks like black superglue is thick. 03a describe theirs as medium thick. I’ve just ordered a 20g bottle from because £6.95. Small Wonder says, “Black Superglue tends to be thi...
