@nsj Cheers buddy. Sounds like I need to keep the chap with the drum sander sweet😅

Can your really showcase something that is incomplete? Probably not but, as I seem to be a rather slow builder, I display my progress for no other reason than I promised Mark I would. I don't have s...

Hi there my name is John and I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama! I'm originally from Northern Ireland but I moved to Alabama in 2017 for work. In 2022 I joined the Alabama Woodworkers Guild as I found they...

@markbailey Maybe this link to my video will work, and I'll repeat, I'm not a player, I just play enough amuse myself. You did meet me in person briefly a few years ago, I came down to collect an el...

@liebe Thanks Dan, I feel like I'm on the home straight now. I've ordered a tin of water based top coat from Northwest guitars, never used this before so we'll see how it goes. Attachment : ecb16...

As promised here's some more photos now that its finished (apart from the strings needing trimmed) I'm absolutely delighted with it. Huge thanks to @markbailey for the inspiration and for passing on t...

So here it is for a bit - there's some alignment issues and the nut needs sorting but I missed it after playing the strat and acoustic. It's had some additional shaping, carves etc. I have some tidyin...

@markbailey lol it is shit isn't it! Lead free for a problematic life! @cafebrouge if you're on FB there's some not bad groups, UK Amateur Guitar Builder and Luthiers Club are a couple. For the...

Used a small router to hog out the majority to the waste, then fine cut the rest out with chisels. Glued one in and left it overnight. I’ll plane it down today and sand it flush. Attachment : IMG...

I’ve got all the butterflies in, sanded everything and applied some Danish Oil, 3 coats so far. Not a bad finish that, for a work bench. I might give it one more coat for good measure. Attachment ...
