Hi Guys Hankies at the ready as I hit my first problem... Hope you like Part 7 cheers Steve Attachment : PART 7.m4v

Im guessing you would carve the neck before glue up--but what do I know? @bangy There is a YouTube live stream that Mark did last year about this kind of construction. Check it out.

It may already be here not sure so my apologies if it is. Yesterday at the shop my cousin gave me 8/4 Piece of Black Walnut. Attachment : 650dvp-back.jpg Attachment : 650dvp-front.jpg ...

@bangy Depends on the body shape but yes, carving first would be wise. At least the transition. Another thing to look out for on a neck through are the wiring holes for the pickups. The thing to do ...

@markbailey. We're all still holding you and your family in our thoughts Mark. Take care. Love and Best Wishes to You and your family. ❤️ 🙏🎸🎶🙂

So here are a few “pics!” Man, taking photos of a room suuuucks, talk about akward. I actually shot a little vid a few days ago but I couldn’t seem to upload it. But that’s probably for the best as it...

I need to have a rethink 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi all, I’m at the pretty much done stage on my first build. Very happy with the result. Here are some pics in no particular order. Goes without saying I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the...

Hi Guys @MarkBailey recently showed us, via streams, that he prefers to lacquer the maple fretboard before fitting the frets. Hope I understood that correctly. I am currently building an Electric set ...

A little musical* interlude in a weekly on-line comedy show ... * obviously, that's up for debate! Nice one @tv101

Excellent work. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

It'll be sad to see her* go - she's* become a bit of a fixture in the livestream background. Maybe we could put another one together to take her* place? *Please note, I don't usually refer to my g...

Black. (Mark's wrong).

The question is where you stop! A huge great big chain saw is great for cutting down trees but then you need a lorry, a forklift, a resale, a drying kiln of an acre of outdoor space etc. A planer thic...
