Hey @peebee Paul, welcome and you will find everything you need here. You can be our resident Bruce Dickinson! 🤘😁🤘

Good to "meet" you Paul @peebee 🙂 Over the last couple of years I have been accumulating the tools to get into making my own guitars, electric, the thought of making an acoustic scares the hell out o...

Welcome Paul. I think you should start with Mark's Bandsman but I guess one day you've got to have a go at The Flying V. Cheers, Russ 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Welcome to group Paul. I hope you can get back to work soon, we all need to go on holiday. Meanwhile turn your scrap pine into a guitar, thats what happened when I started just practicing techniques w...

Was able to get my fretboard radiused accurately (thanks for the tips!), the neck carve completed, and frets in yesterday. Good progress. On to the body routes next. Attachment : IMG_1681.jpg ...

Well it is complete at last (apart from a headstock logo). This is my "First Practice Build", made from scrap wood that was lying under my caravan. When I started, I never intended it to be a complete...

Another landmark moment yesterday when I routed the neck pocket. Due to my previous experiences with the router, I approached this with a bit of trepidation, but it went well this time. My wife has n...

A miraculous transformation today, it seemed to take forever with the rasp to reduce the thickness of the neck, and then after smoothing the corners, suddenly it apears to be the right shape. Attac...

I'm really enjoying making the neck. Finished thicknessing the headstock, chiselled the shape and drilled for the tuners. I used a step drill for the tuner holes, drilling from both sides. By the time...

Didn't get a lot done today due to the horizontal rain. But I did manage to knock up a headstock angle jig. Attachment : 20200922_184002.jpg I also repaired my truss rod slot ready for routing...

Iv'e got started on the neck at last. Attachment : 20200919_155816.jpg I drilled and screwed the base plate my power saw to the underside of my ancient black & decker workmate. So now I'v...

I've been thinking about this for a few years and finally took the plunge, sought out and bought what thought I needed to get going and also cleaned a space in the shed. There's still a whole bunch of...

Turned it all into this left handed T-type Barncaster. Attachment : E6E07010-8930-46DE-BEFA-F75C966AF23F.jpeg Attachment : E9D09C73-CF50-4641-AC07-928131666072.jpeg Attachment : 005...

Sat 1pm For your viewing pleasure 'Penny' will be carved into those sexy curves you know you love... Record viewers last time - I think clicking the 'set reminder' button really did help a lot...THANK...

Hello Peeps Anotherstep closer to starting my First Build. Following Mark's online courses I've managed to build my Neck Angle Jig, Headstock Angle Jig and Headstock Thickness Jig. It's been a bit of ...

And here are my Bailey-build-babes ( ? ) Attachment : DSC_3328.JPG Attachment : DSC_3320.JPG Attachment : DSC_3310.JPG There's a bit of guitar design and building evolution goin...

Naturally, I got it home, and started with the mods ... I replaced the black plastic p'up rings with some metal ones, but that pushed the p'up a bit further down into the cavity, where there were a *l...

Hi @peebee, Great. Just email me at darren.king@bagpress.com and I'll sort it out for you. Cheers Darren

Ok, here is one perennial problem that can now be put to bed permanently! Sloppy fitting neck joints! Here is the working prototype of the adjustable neck pocket routing jig designed to either be used...

Hey Folks Things have stabilised a little and I've been able to get in the workshop catching up with the orders - Lewis helped out yesterday and will be back again next week. Thanks again for your pat...
