Thanks Tony!! It means a lot. ?️

As I've seen a lot, and chatted to a few, of the names here during Mark's excellent online sessions, I thought I'd join and introduce myself. tv1010101 - Tony. My first Bailey course was a few years...

Lovely part of the world!

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I live in sunny West Wales.

Welcome Ewan - we are all friendly and some of us are addicts - guitar building gets you that way! What part of the world are you from?

Hi all, Ive just joined having watched all the lockdown build and basically had the kick in the butt I need to move from building roots instruments and moving up to proper guitar building. Thanks Mark...

Hi there, You'll have a lot of fun here and great support. It's a fantastic community and everyone is very helpful. I think I'm on pretty safe ground in saying that yours is very likely to be the firs...

Thanks! Hope you find lots of useful info here and we can convince you to break out the woodworking tools... Once you get started it gets easier and more addictive! Let us know if we can be of any ass...

Hi I discovered Marks channel a few weeks back and he’s become one of my favorite YouTube luthiers along with Ben Crowe and Matt and Chris at Texas Toast. I’m a 68 year old living in North Carolina. I...

Impressive winder from Joel!

Have you seen Joel's new pickup winder? Awesome!

Hi Guys, I just wish some one had a 3D modelled front/back available off the peg as it would then be very simple for me to CNC the moulds and start some test pressings. Was the contour map helpful Chr...

lots more blueprints if your interested in other templates. ??

Hi Chris, Fab! I use VCarve Pro 9.5 (Vectric.co.uk) to generate the 3D toolpaths for my CNC router and it can import native Rhino files and whole host of other formats which I can give you tomorrow (I...

Update... About 30 seconds of googling later, I've found a good set of plans with the contours broken down. Need to re-draw them in CAD so we can convert it to bleeps and bloops, but that's a ten minu...

Darren, Yeah, I'd have a stab at it if I could find a set of 2D plans to pull dimensions off of - or a 335 that I could measure. I'd love to build one myself, think Mark was talking about potentially ...

@chrismcconnell1011 Hi Chris, Have you ever thought about producing a 3D model of a Gibson 335 back and/or front? I know lots of people (OK, at least two!) who would be very grateful if you could prod...

Refined my design a wee bit tonight after hours of looking at pictures of these. I'm gonna push on and try doing this flat like the originals. My heights are 9mm at the nut, and 9.8mm is the lowest I ...
