Did a bit more on the Bandsman today. Routed the external body shape and a bit on the bobbin sander. Marked out other bits for removal or carving. Attachment : C1E1F1AE-55F2-41E9-AAD4-8059B9AAB84...

Hello Peeps, I've managed to acquire a Bosch GKF 1/4'' router. Do you think it will be big enough and powerful enough to do all the jobs for my Bandsman build? 🤔 Attachment : image.png

Last week I mentioned that, due to our current lockdown in Scotland, I couldn't get access to a bandsaw. In normal times there's a couple of engineer workshops in town that offered me use of their ban...

Is a tree as a guitar an ambition fulfilled? And is the sawdust jealous?

As promised @markbailey it's now a complete tip again. Today, I built my bench, setup and tested out my very first bandsaw and actually made some sawdust. We are now, officially cooking on gas. A...

@cheesewhisk That’s a decent sized work shed for building guitars in. I’m lucky that I have a decent garage to work out of and a small bedroom in the house I use for the less messy jobs. I’ll be movin...

That's not so much if, it's when. When I'm at my caravan over on the west coast it's a different time zone again, everything is in Argyll time, nothing happens quickly. That's not a bad thing though,...
