My version is a piece of MDF with a couple of cheap toggle clamps from Amazon screwed into it 😬 Cheers @tej. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Here’s a pic of one that does the same, I’ll post a pic of my more rough and ready version later. It’s basically a straight plank with a couple of clamps on, I might have over sold it 🙂 So you...

not sure about others but I used a table saw with a jig I use to square rough planks. Happy to elaborate with picture if it’s of use? Some pictures would be great @tej. Cheers, 🙂🙏&#x...

Can I ask how you managed to make an accurate neck taper template? @russ not sure about others but I used a table saw with a jig I use to square rough planks. Happy to elaborate with picture if it’s ...

The journey begins @Wayne _F

@wayne_f Looking good Wayne, keep going.

Can I ask how you managed to make an accurate neck taper template? @russ I started with one straight edge on the MDF, as per Mark's instruction, cut a piece that was more than long enough and 60mm wi...

looks like you're very organised and methodical @robin yeah, kinda. Although, since I am new to this I was a bit scatterbrained here and there. I screwed up a few times when making the jigs like forg...

@wayne_f Great start Wayne. Can I ask how you managed to make an accurate neck taper template? I just can't seem to get mine perfectly even. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@wayne_f Youve made a great start there, looks like you're very organised and methodical, thats a good way to work. On my first guitar, I kind of made it up as I went along, making templates and jigs ...

@bpower Thanks for the info. I'll check out that company. Come to think of it, I might have already been to that site because the name seems familiar.

I think you would need to have a bit of a redesign around the neck pocket area if you want to convert to a bolt on (to add some sideways support). @koendb True but it wouldn't be much of a problem. I...

Maybe I should go with a bolt-on neck since 1" blanks come in longer sizes. Hi @wayne_f You should be able to ask for a longer blank, no matter who your wood supplier is. Just ask 😉I think you would ...

Hey @wayne_f. I really like the drawing and I like the headstock. Looks like you are all ready to start making saw dust. I'm in eastern canada and could not justify the cost of stewmac for most stuff....

Just beginning and making baby steps. Before you look at what I have, yes this is my first build and no I'm not making a bandsman. Not that I have anything against Mark's design. I'm just not sure if ...

And if we are really lucky we get to experience both personalities of @tv101 🙂 the fantastic music is just a bonus.

@cheesewhisk Acoustic Bliss seems to have been one of those guitar secrets, you know the ones that don’t exist cause we all share everything. Well, this thread was started back in April to share the ...

@jamesbissett Very true there are not many places that will allow acoustic music these days, it’s all got to be amplified or plugged in. I can’t wait for the Dumfries session in the Coach & Horses...

tv101 I remember those days of recording on cassette players. About 40 years ago, gosh was it that long ago, I played in a Bluegrass band and we recorded in a living room with a decent quality stereo...
