hay all , new guy here looking forward to building my own guitars will keep posted as i get along

@markbailey thanks for the reply. Yep only just got the sides bent and it was rough going. I think there may be a bit to much spring back in them but they’re in the mold no ready for the next step. on...

And what you are experiencing with the tear out is due to the timber having what is know as interlocking grain ie it changes direction throughout the thickness of the timber. You can reduce the degree...

Hi M, Welcome to the clubhouse! If you can private message me the shape of the sides as a PDF then I'll have a go at laminating one from veneers. Let me know how thick you are finishing at if differen...

Bits were prepped following Mark’s feature in the Saturday Workshop Live Stream. I glued up using the Prefere glue from Darren on Sunday morning and was left clamped until a few minutes ago - will ne...

I cut the body break angle yesterday - like the headstock bandsaw then router and jig. The wedge removed doing the headstock angle has had a quick coat of finishing oil just see what it could look lik...

Hello guitar builders. just saying hi. Joining the forums as I’m about to start building an acoustic 6 string and having absorbed most of what YouTube has to offer I’m thinking I’ll need some real wor...

Still can't attach files, however to whet everyone's appetite, I'm planning on building a copy of a Harmony H44, which is a tiny short scale department store guitar from way back in umpteen-oh-eight. ...

Was good to see you again, almost like being back in the workshop... It's inspired me to finish off a design I've been working on and fire up the router again...

Hi all, I did the "Build your first electric" course a few years ago, built another guitar in my shed afterwards, and have stuck together a few partscasters to use up odds and ends recently. Getting b...

Great Chris, have fun!I am curious about your plans. cheers Bart

Thanks for your detailed solutions Mark, it feels good to hear that I have some options to fix it. I will give an update here when the neck is glued in. By the way, I now have the Attach Files button...

I took the original blank to bits and one of the bits of maple was warped..... Also I think I took too long getting it all clamped up so maybe the glue had gone off before pressure was applied? The bl...

Possible question - hints about glueing up a through neck blank with veneers between layers....

Darren very kindly sent me some glue and some new veneer arrived yesterday so I hope to get the through blank glued up over the weekend......

Good session Mark - the 45 minutes flashed by. Will make sure that it is in my calendar.....

Good afternoon, I've found a great supplier of very reasonably priced (about £3 each for the M8 version) stainless steel turnbuckles which can be ordered with an eye at both ends. Go to www. westfield...

More little boxes is sort of the solution - having things in a place so that you can find them. Having organised a little workshop and then having collected up tools that were in several places in th...
