I love the idea of “here’s a bit of wood I found lying around, I’m going to make a guitar out of it”. Brilliant. I believe Leo Fender started out in much the same Hope you did the @markbailey tap t...

Hi, After watching a few live you tube streams out of interest, ive found some pine and some unidentified hardwood under my caravan and started a practice build. I mentioned this in the comments on on...

My vote went to LIVESTREAMS. There are already a multitude of YT channels out there for just about every possible topic. TBH, I rarely watch them because they're fairly uninvolving (there's no inte...

I've voted for more live streams, I've enjoy watching them, but have to admit that I've missed a couple of recent ones as I've been driving at the time. But I'm hooked now and started my first guitar....

It's difficult to give an either/or answer to that question but I have voted for the LiveStreams over the edited videos due to the interactive element mentioned by TV01010101010101010. It's great to h...

I've been really torn with this one Mark. Being new to all this caused me to vote for the edited videos as I will need all the guidance I can get. On the other hand I really enjoy the live videos and ...

I think a balance - the edited video content is brilliant to guide when actually preparing to do a process and to follow step by step - the live-stream to do the interactive bit...... The live-streams...

@darrenking We need to talk! I haven’t got to the Bagpress bit of the pre-planning yet, but I was assuming that I’d need to either build a 3D model of front and back that I could put into a CNC machi...

@jamesbisset do I detect a faint desire for an archtop session? I have always been just that little bit psychic (it's from my great grandmother's side of the family you know!) I think I may have found...

I’ve just voted for more edited videos. ARCHTOP! But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy tuning in every week. I do! I just think once a week is still awesome, and also let’s you spend more time building ...

Jack of all trades........and you mastered it. ✌️???

Ahhh, look, *that's* where the pickup cavity was, originally. And, that's also where it really ought to be. Attachment : 20160317_123019.jpg And now, one nice clean - if rather large - hole i...

It was about a year later before I decided to try to fix the result of my inability to do basic maths. (Despite what my A-level certificates might say). My mis-rout had actually removed the cap more-...

Right then @markbailey @Russ, your breaths can now be unbaited ... Feeling rather chuffed with myself (did I mention that already) for rescuing this guitar, and also a little impatient to get on and g...

Excellent work and a lot of lessons learned. I will definitely listen to your warnings and hope it sinks in to my brain.

I use a scale length template (multiple online shops) to stick a fretboard blank to. < span style="color: #666;"> Attachment :  CCB18EFE-0050-4349-B064-BD250F3F851A.jpeg

This is by no means the best jig in the world and I still have to add a couple of other bits but it works. I used some MDF, plywood, bolts, nuts, bearings, washers, screws and one small nail. I arrang...

I'm intrigued. I wait with baited breath for the next installment. ?✌️???
