I think the measurements Mark uses on the course are wrong! (I am willing to be proved wrong on this of course). @peebee Well…….. that’s a statement alright. 😆 ”You have reached Boo but Boo isn’t in right now to…   Read more»

Sounds great, thanks for letting me know!

So far the saw is a treat, bloody heavy though! Can you put it on a wheeled stand @peebee? Ikm guessing that you mention the weight because you’re having to move it around.  A wheeled stand would make that easier….   Read more»

I meant to ask you, how do you like that saw? I‘m in the market for a new one and Record Power seems like a good choice. 
How is the quality/stability? Overall impression?
Thanks a lot!

@peebee
The practicecaster looks really good. I like how you took the belly carve into the top bout.
Any more progress?
What kind of bandsaw do you have?

@Peebee 

Are you actually going to turn this into a guitar?

Get it done, there’s nothing wrong with an old bit of pine. The huge knot in mine is now a feature.

It’s about 4 pieces of scrap pine dug out of the shed glued together.

@peebee Nothing wrong with that. As far as the knot is concerned, you could reinforce it with epoxy. 

The practice belly carve, came out ok, thanks to Mark for showing the method.

@peebee Yeah, nice work, very neat. Are you actually going to turn this into a guitar? I think you should. 

Had a go at a belly carve today on a scrap wood tele body that I have made as practice. Turned out pretty well, draw two lines, make two facets and join em up…simples. @peebee Excellent! It’s not that difficult…   Read more»

Merry Christmas to me, can’t open it until the big day though!

@peebee Nice! 🤘

@peebee Thanks, yes I like to have the integrity of the ash body stand out with the pink. It shimmers with the open grain and not look like a novelty per say. Ties in with the dyed and lacquered maple…   Read more»

Thank you @peebee 

@peebee looking good mate. Keep it up

@peebee thats it.

Cheers @peebee That was my second Bailey BYOG build.  The top is Amazique – which is ridiculously hard, and heavy!  But I saw it in the wood store and just was totally seduced by the looks!  As I recall, Mark’s…   Read more»

@peebee Mrs ordered me a Bailey Electric Guitar kit last night too! Your Mrs must be a good one. My Mrs just recently found out that I have a Bailey’s electric kit in my garage waiting to get started. Apparently…   Read more»

@peebee Yep! You are really travelling down the rabbit hole now!

I am going to be very cross once this Furlough ends!

Headstock angle jig made out of 18mm MDF.

@peebee Yep! You are really travelling down the rabbit hole now! 😁

@peebee @peebee That’s it now mate – one jig down, now you’re hooked! There’s no going back to your previous life anymore….. Be careful though, you might end up building stuff like this from junk. I’m just waiting for a longer…   Read more»
