@markbailey Hi Mark Yep I got a dessicant one. Seems to be doing the job. You can set it to run for so many hours (2-23), set the humidity (40/50/60/70% etc). Its not too loud as I haven't tried it o...

Well its been a while since I last posted about the RH level problems in the Garage/Workshop conversion I have been doing. Partly because I have been on another course with Marrk on a new Set neck gui...

I do need to keep a clear work space!

Making a start - routed a test slot for my truss rod into a bit of kitchen work top - only worried about the width at this point... Hope to get up courage and cut real truss rod slot later this week....

The workshop - a bit of my garage - going to get cold in the middle of winter but was a reasonable temp just now.

I have to agree with all that's been said about appropriate 'pacing', comestible sampling and beverage top-ups. I was going to mention something about the inverse ratio of bladder retention against ag...

Thanks. I need to carve the bugger first! Yikes!!!

Nearly ready to start - guitar kit has arrived - the wood looks lovely. Why Arthur you may ask? The guitar will hopefully be chambered so is sort of semi-acoustic - semi = half - half a guitar - sou...

This feels like a thread hijack! ? I glued the fretboard to the neck, I think that's making the neck part 1 finished. Just need to install the truss rod next!!! Joking! Attachment : Glued Fretboa...

I'm with you. It's always important to conduct a thorough top of the packet/bottom of the packet comparison test for QA purposes. I know this isn't for everyone but I find that cream centre biscuits s...

I am probably addicted to tea............. Biscuits are a problem - sometimes whole packets get 'sampled'.......

@frocesterbill Yeah, watching the videos a few times to ensure I make no mistakes does slow me down a bit, with practice you could probably make something within a couple of weeks I guess. Although I ...

My only comment would be that I don't think Bill has made enough of an allowance for tea. All of that watching videos and double and treble checking sounds like very thirsty work to me! Ideally make a...

Having been inspired by seeing Mark's modified fret slot cutting table saw I am going to have a go at building my own. Miguel at my favorite saw blade supplier (NLS - North London Saw) has found me a ...

Profiled the neck, the truss rod is in and glue drying on the wooden strip. 🙂 Attachment : Neck Profile.JPG

The finish on my first acoustic build is matt, as per the instructions. It's nothing like the shine on my Collings but I really like it. However, I wonder whether I should be thinking about looking af...

Made the headstock angle jig today. I figured that I am only using it to clamp the neck and route the headstock angle so I made it a little bit shorter. Attachment : Headstock Angle Jig.JPG Fre...

Hi and welcome from the Shed in the rain. I found that the making of all the necessary bits stoped me from jumping in at the deep end with both feet. I finished my first acoustic build recently and co...

@jonathan-auckland Thanks for the advice. In the past I've made it up as I've went along so I'm hoping by planning things out and following the videos I will be a bit more successful. I don't mind mak...

Quickly made a neck caul. I used cork for the strips, hopefully this should work nicely. Attachment : Neck Caul.JPG I'm going to make the patterns next: Body, headstock, humbucker cavity and co...
