Those scales look really cool

@mattbeels Thanks dude. I’m taking inspiration from some of those American biker paint jobs that are out there. 👍

@mattbeels 😂 sorry about that, I should have been more clear. My apologies. I’ve traced my dad’s family back to the 13th century and found a Sir William Glasscock. Can’t recall what part of England. My mom’s side has been…   Read more»

@mattbeels born here. We lived in Ohio for about 7 years when I was little. Moved back here when I was 8. I’ve lived other places but always wound up back here. Finally decided might as well stay. 🤣 Having…   Read more»

@mattbeels I re-wired it all in the end as I could isolate the issue, all good now 🙂

Looks like we’ve got some competition

I’m not planning on making a habit of it. But Joe did mention a mandolin that he thinks is beyond repair, sounds like a challenge to me.

Posted by: @mattbeels Crazy how that guy removes his respirator immediately after spraying, their extraction must be state of the art and then some! @mattbeels Yeah it’s so good having extraction like that, it makes a world of difference. As…   Read more»

@mattbeels Yeah it’s dead for me too (on my iPad) but it works just fine on my PC. 

Exactly that for me too.  PC – fine.

The video is dead @steveadams! Please re-upload as I’d love to see it!

@mattbeels Yeah it’s dead for me too (on my iPad) but it works just fine on my PC. 

Posted by: @mattbeels I like the double edge files. Two sizes each with a handle and they have a V shape which helps to open up the top of the string slot, they suck for a PRS nut though. Keep…   Read more»

@mattbeels 😜🤯 Ahhhhhhhhh……. Why didn’t I think of that? 🤣

Oh, and when you’re ready for the finishing touches, @mattbeels will help choosing the curtains and cushions.

Yer damn right I will!
What can I say? I’m a man of comfort.

@mattbeels Thanks  That workbench is my daughters kitchen table with an old cloth over it. I wonder why I’m always getting played hell with. Yes the sides are very tricky so it’s a bit like feeling your way in the…   Read more»

I went with rosewood for the truss rod cover in the end, the others just looked bad, thanks to @mattbeels (I think!) for promoting wood!
 

Hey @mattbeels – where’ve you been?
 
Apart from the curtains shop?

Posted by: @mattbeels Congratulations @russ! Sounds like you’re getting a handle on the storage, now get to building! Looking forward to seeing it come together… Thank you @mattbeels.  The ball is definitely starting to roll again.  🎶🎸🙏🙂

Posted by: @mattbeels match the headstock @mattbeels this was where I was leaving before robin’s suggestion of still wood but contrasting, I can try both i suppose. I don’t want it to be too prominent, that chrome one definitely takes…   Read more»

@mattbeels Thanks! Yes I’m really pleased with the shape and very proud of the neck. I may end up putting a fair number more top coats on it though sanding with 1500 inbetween though as it’s rougher to the touch…   Read more»
