Got the frets levelled, crowned and polished today then glued on the wings. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the top glued on at some point. This was one of my best fret jobs, hardly any levelling needed ...

@brie St Cyrus! That was it. Gourdon is past johnshaven. I was trying to remember them in order going from Montrose lol. Bought my first electric from a guy in St Cyrus, he played the cult lil devil o...

Got a little bit more done today, top cut out and been cutting down the centre block to allow room for the top. Added a bit of angle for more bridge clearance Attachment : 20231025_005014.jpg ...

@swepri A40640 module, do fancy doing other stuff but that means making the effort to learn and I'm not always good at that lol I've seen guys on guitar building fb groups doing all sorts

@brie Maybe Gourdon, Johnshaven or Bervie. Got cousins up that way.

@brie I glue up in my shed but then bring it in because it's slightly warmer and at some point there will be heating on, so which ever room is warm is where I'll put it which maybe the living room lol

@brie About 20 miles from Dundee heading towards Glenisla

@swepri neje 3 plus, got it off ebay. I seen a friend using it on his youtube and asked what he was using, he had the 2 plus but it wasn't available so I got the 3 plus. It's bigger than his so I can ...

Got the headstock sorted out today, stuck the body template on to get an idea how it will look. And of course I did my logo Attachment : 20231023_155012.jpg Attachment : 20231023_155205.j...

@robin it's been mental but fortunately I'm to high up to be affected, people over Brechin way had to get evacuated and all sorts. Water up about 6ft in the houses and stuff. There's timelapse of the ...

@brie I bring whatever wood I'm using in the house when it starts getting cold and damp, half built guitar or whatever. Just take it out the to the shed to do bits then back in. I think Mark suggested...

Had a bit of flooding in the shed but I lifted everything off the floor and took my wood in the house before hand so all was good. The ground next to the shed is higher than the floor and if the water...

Welcome along, I already started building before arriving here but have since been watching Mark's lives on youtube and learnt even more. I'm kinda obsessed with building guitars, it's my main vise lo...

We're down to 2 cats at the moment, did have 6 cats and a dalmatian at one point lol

@russ it's fine, I'm on top of the hill lol

@liebe It's designed to go straight on wood, it's a hardwax oil. This guy uses hardwax oil over stain without anything else. Same sort of thing, just different brand. Try it on a test piece.

@russ cheersw buddy, so far so good. I had to use two bin bags to get my neck out to the shed to do more work though lol. Normally I can wrap a guitare neck in a jacket but this thing is sooooo long! ...

@liebe Sweet T guitars on youtube would be the guy to check out regarding using it with stains. I tend to just go natural. And yeh, matt/satin is where I'm at. Mine came from that place

@rathius straight edge is a good idea, used that method to cut the slot for the switch on my strat build, worked great. Also with plunge base, got the elmer one which is identical to all of them lol. ...

@rathius I was thinking like a tree, dragon etc. Could fill with resin, getting the hang of that now. The secret is a tiny amount of pigment, then you can get patterns in the resin instead of a solid ...
