Good afternoon. Does anybody recognise this scenario? (Please tell me it not just me!!) It's time to have a really good tidy up. There's bits and pieces everywhere you look and it's starting to get yo...

Holy shit John! I can't tell you how much better your 'before' pictures have made me feel!! lol

Hi Darren We are in extraordinary times - I guess it must be something like being at war. I look forward to seeing some progress if you do have to shut down - hope you find time to take some pictu...

Another one.... Double sided tape vs masking tape and super glue for fixing templates etc.....

Hints about using random sanders - when I built my Bandsman here at home I only had a cheap fixed speed sander and it wasn’t easy to keep under control - now I have got a Mirka Deros that has speed co...

Hadn’t thought of Milliput - I have used it building model railways, one of my other perversions - I have some white - will do a test. Cheers Darren!

I have been preparing wood for the wings. I had been planning to use Black Walnut, Maple and Padauk but the pieces of Maple started to warp very badly. I tried a glue up of some off cuts using two ...

That is very beautiful. Well done! Any chance you can post a video so that we can hear it?

Thanks bill. You mean that I have to learn to play it? Watch this space. I have an idea.

As in the Rolling Stones song "It's all over now". A year has passed and what have I got to show for it. Thisle 2 the archtop. All nicely polished and strung. Still got the fine intonation to do once ...

I have finished the lacquer application and now have to wait for it to harden up before the final finish/polish process so I have started on the electrics. I'm using Schatten volume and tone controls ...

Hi all! Off the back of the workshop course (4 years ago now ? ) I have been trying to be quietly productive and after checking out the Exotica on the Bailey site, I decided I had to try a neck throug...
