RE: My first steps in building an acoustic guitar

@koendb You have the same block plane as me with adjustable mouth which is great for avoiding tear out. A sharpening roller guide for holding the blade and getting the angle correct is essential in my...

RE: My first steps in building an acoustic guitar

I agree with you but my Aldi band saw has been a cracking little tool for the £60 or whatever I paid for it. Admittedly it was the size that appealed more than anything when I got it, at that time I h...
