Right, I want to know everything! ? I would like to see a finishing course that explains and demonstrates different products. Measuring and cutting wood is a skill in itself and there is so much more ...

OK Folks - hope the new year is treating you well! This year I'll be concentrating on adding more courses and content to the the site...there is so much I don't really know where to start so I'm askin...

Thanks TV1 🙂 The fretboard still has plenty of meat on it, so trying removal might be worth a shot. Hadn't leveled yet so no time lost there thankfully. Will save it for a rainy/bored day mini project...

I know the neck is now firewood but does anyone have any tips to get he fretboard off without distroying it? I did do that once - really just as an experiment to find out whether I could or not. You...

Photoshop @tv101 Ohhhhhh...... You manipulated. 😮 You monkey! 🤣

So... did you take a picture of the body before cutting the neck socket? No @mattbeels! Photoshop. That’s also how I got the assistant scantily clad too.

Thanks Mark, I found the link and have ordered parts to get it going to action! Thanks so much for all the help everyone, I love this site! I will add some photos when done!

So which kind of magic (aside from that cheap ass shitty piece of plastic) did you employ to cover that extremely well done neck tenon join? Do you want to know a secret @mattbeels??

@mattbeels Awesome! You did a very fine job on that Robin! Tip top, you can be proud of that! Thanks Matt, yes I am quite pleased with it.😊

Absolutely amazing @osceola this is really inspiring to see from someone who's just starting out. Great work.

I finally got started on my bandsman, this is my third build, my first since finding the site and live streams. Decided to make up a laminate neck blank and ended up having a slight issue with the thi...

My neck heel carving is done now, that took forever to get to a shape that I'm happy with. I had to take off a bit more than I had intended, due to my first saw cut going a tad too deep. Attachment...

@Eddie6string There's a Dry transfer paper available (Developed in Japan in 1980s) that just leaves the ink + microlayer of adhesive. I've just had a google at that, looks like a better option than ...

My favourite song today:

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment......I like this song because they nicked the riff from me back in the late eighties......... although I imagine we could all claim to have written this riff....

On the subject of stolen riffs - the reason I took up Electric Guitar was this egotistic, yet talented guy Ritchie Blackmore. Understandably 50% of riffs I wrote had his approach , so I came up with ...
