Try taking a shaving off a bit of your body offcuts with a plane, adjust the depth of cut to get the thickness you want. Why have I never thought of that! Excellent tip @robin.

Why have I never thought of that! @tv101 Well that’s probably because @robin is superior at problem solving. And decorating sheds.

@Peebee I need to get some veneers to fix my loose neck pocket fec up. Where do people get their veneers from please? Try taking a shaving off a bit of your body offcuts with a plane, adjust the dep...

Sorry to hear that @peebee! Why not try making some yourself with the bandsaw? If it doesn’t work out it’ll at least be good practice...

I like seeing your shed come alive Note that Robin isn’t worrying about coffee machines, or bean bags, or curtains or other soft furnishings @mattbeels. His is a proper workshop for working in ... &...

@bart-van-der-kemp There is an easy fix - this sort of thing used to happen all the time at 'the factory that shall remain nameless in this context' so don't feel too bad! Use a piece of veneer to fil...

This is the video I made of Martin Taylor playing my guitars. Attachment : true4.mp4 Highlight of my "musical" career.

Ok, so the neck is glued on and the joint pretty much cleaned up, I have cut the cover for the back recess, although I am tempted to make this out of either walnut or rosewood so that the joint line d...

If you've got enough thickness in the wood, then I always think that a carve looks "nicer" somehow. More finished. It doesn't have to be a full body carve, you could do a small "shelf" around the ed...

Hmm @eddie6string I typically like a slab body for the LPJ style guitars but a carve on yours seems appropriate. It’ll look very classy with that center strip, plus a carve is more comfortable to play...

English Walnut resawn by hand American Black Walnut centre strip (Don't ask!) Does it look like a Jazz/Rock/Blues guitar to you? Attachment : 20210320_153447.jpg

Excellent work @peebee, glad that you’re back at it!
