@tv101 don't think it'll need much, trees been standing dead a while and I've burnt the higher branches already. Give it a couple of months in the house I reckon.

Hurt my back properly getting this chunk out from behind the shed lol. Still, there's a guitar body in it. Hoping the fact it splits into four gives some interesting grain. There's a holly tree and th...

@russ no extras bud, they maybe charge UK vat when buying. I noticed Thomman and other EU shops do that too. They charge the correct vat and you get no extra charges. The radius beam cost me just unde...

@koendb yeh I've seen his comments on the live streams, such a liar ain't he 🤣

I think black limba looks gorgeous on it's own but if wanting to use the top I'd pick something a bit plainer. Maple and sapele laminates on the neck could be nice, weight wise I don't think it'll be ...

New radius beam is great! I'm almost done and it's only taken minutes Attachment : 20230120_234434.jpg And just like in Mark's build a guitar video it's taking out high spots etc Attac...

@tv101 in my case it's age and cold lol

@tv101 neck through lad, big gluing area lol Cut out the template today, laid it all out. I'm going to print another copy of the body and establish the centre line next. Attachment : 20230120...

After a bit of measuring and decision making I decided to shift the truss rod a bit further forward to allow more room for the body. Also going to modify the curve where the neck joins to get full acc...

Today I actually did something, got the truss rod slot routed and cut out for the spoke wheel. (Did all the neck blank etc last year and it's up on my youtube, NSJGuitars.) Anyway now I need to do a c...

@russ if I can do it you can do it! Lol Open with adobe reader, it's free. Select print and when the box comes up just select poster and you'll see a little box to check for cut lines. Then hit print ...

@tv101 if only I could buy them sharp! No such luck lol

@tv101 hindsight is fantastic though isn't it? So useful! NOT! Lol

@tv101 I do that for a lot of marking out, belly carves etc lol

@koendb love nice old hand planes, last year I started with none but by the end of the year I had over 10 lol

@tv101 diseased is best, the more the better! That's where you get all the cool stuff. Another is a burl, they look amazing! This is an elm burl with just thinned down oil based polyurethane. How i...

@russ cheers but no buddy, I couldn't draw that. I downloaded a free template from the electric herald templates Then printed using adobe reader, select poster mode and tick the cut lines check box,...

Nice work on the build @Clinton, I need to find out how to open the vids in youtube though, I just can't get them to play nicely on the site for some reason.

@russ I've got a grany tooth plane, just need the blades lol

Wasn't sure where to put this but I've got some new wood to sort out. I have a friend of a friend who has one of those big horizontal bandsaw machines so he can cut it into boards. Then I'll just stac...
