Hi @hursty Welcome to the guitar building world. I'm sure you're going to have fun trying. Here is a link to a deal at Yandles for the BS250 Cheers, Russ 🙏🎶🎸🙂

Hi all, After much pondering I took the plunge and became a premium member and ordered a standard Bandsman kit. 😀 I've no experience of wood working at all so this could be a disaster or a ne...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@boo oh yeah, you should chat with my sister, wrong forum @mattbeels ....

The points don’t really matter Well, that's easy for you to say ...

Wow! Thanks guys. I’m just happy this forum is way it is. The points don’t really matter but the content does so all I try to do is upload decent content myself and encourage others to do the same. We...

Congrats @Boo man - at current rate of progress, 100k by the end of the year??? 🤗 🤗

I’ll have to try and find this thread to come back and quote you. You may have to eat your words. 😆👍 @boo probably you just shouldn’t do that. As long as I’m not sat there complainin...

boo could post a picture of his lunch and his points would go up by 500, it's a conspiracy I tell you! @jonhodgson I love a good conspiracy theory. 🤘😆🤘

I see that you're nearly hitting the 20k @russ Oh yes, I hadn’t noticed. Wow! How did that happen? 😁🤘🎸

I see that you're nearly hitting the 20k @russ boo could post a picture of his lunch and his points would go up by 500, it's a conspiracy I tell you! Admittedly he probably eats his lunch off a plate...

I see that you're nearly hitting the 20k @boo. 🎉😁 I imagine you'll be there when I come back tomorrow. 🎸🎶🙂🙏

amirite @mattbeel No, you don’t want to use that kind of paint.

So, there we are for now, I’ll add more as I progress and post a full build video at the end 🙂 @tej Yep, you’re really getting it together now, looking good. It’s exciting watching people d...

Great to see you getting started @tej. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Remember to measure twice & cut once. 📏📏🪚 🙏🙂🎶🎸

So here goes, first ever guitar build, this is likely to be slow going, if I start to progress quickly at any point remind me I should sleep 🙂 Here’s the design so far, a 25.5” scale length Ba...

Completely get your point @jonhodgson. it's the conflict of the builder in me vs the player in me. For me, those are two different - but obviously closely related - interests. I don't expect to be...

The objective of guitar building for me is not to build a better guitar than Mr P R Smith, or Mr M Bailey, it’s just to learn and get a bit better with each one, improving my skills along the way ... ...

@tv101, I cook pretty well, and when it comes to driving so long as I actually get to the destination the most important aspect has been achieved equally well. it's the conflict of the builder in me v...

But I can't help thinking that Charlie Chandler (one of the world's best guitar techs and a pretty decent luthier to boot) and his Plek machine are half an hour away on a good day, and I'm never going...
