So it’s official: I signed the contract for my new workshop yesterday @mattbeels That’s awesome man! Can’t wait to see some pictures.

Excellent timing - my (Baileys) acoustic kit is waiting to be built - this will get me energised to get on with it!

The carve is looking good Peebee, I might just do the same myself.

The magic starts at 3:10 - could have kicked myself... BTW: I'd use a 2.5mm for the bridge mount holes next time...

Looking real good!

Hi Matt, send the files to darren.king@bagpress.com. Do you know what app your designer is using to draw the plan? Best file types for me are .ai, .pdf or .dwg (LT2000 version). Also if you can get hi...

Got to agree with Darren about sanders - I've got a Mirka - obscene price at around £400 but totally brilliant - Mark uses one as well!

Hi Matt, I have to agree that Festool stuff is sodding expensive but it is designed for professional use and it is far from being just a posh labelling exercise. I would find it pretty much impossible...

Hi Dave, welcome. I would be less concerned about the bow than the knot but if the neck blank is making you have to think about how to avoid the defects then ask for a replacement. This is one of the ...
