@tv101 I'm only on build #2, #3 is still growing in the back of my mind and #4 is already on the drawing board. Ive got a long way to go on your map, l think I'll stop when it gets easy.

Thoughts prompted by another thread here ... The reasons for each build, and why the journey never ends with 1. Build #1: "Can I do it?" Build #2: "It'd be mad to just make 1". Build #3: "I enj...

@jonhodgson I'll be watching for your test results worh interest, I'm doing a similar thing but in a much limited way. I've carved a bit of ash, sanded to 320 grit and applied grain filler and stain....

I'm slowly getting together what I need to try out a few topcoat options (I've got Rustin's Plastic coating, some water and solvent based polys, melamine lacquer) with a view to making some test piece...

What I’d do .... A bit of round over on the top edge of the fretboard. That’ll blend the nick into the top of the fretboard, and won’t be noticeable. Some fine maple sawdust and glue, mixed togethe...

...........and this happened Attachment : 20201115_133039.jpg This project is doomed. Although this part of the neck will sit in the neck pocket ,as it's a one piece neck there'll be a nick ou...

Once the nuts, washers and especially the knobs are on, no one will ever see it. Exactly as @mattbeels and @frocesterbill have said earlier. A 1mm difference in diameter is just 0.5mm either side of...

@blake Japanese parts are typically really good. The difference in hole size isn’t much as @frocesterbill pointed out. Just be sure to use a lock washer (already necessary) inside the cavity for good ...

I think the main issue with an unlacquered - or unfinished in any way - maple board is that it'll get visibly dirty quite quickly. Not just from your fingers, but the strings as well! Also, a bit of f...

I finally was able to finish this kit guitar. Tele thinline with a bigsby-like tremolo tom bridge and 2 HB'sThis was a Christmas gift from my girlfriend and daughter 🙂 The neck was repurposed for anot...

lobby Wudtone for them to donate a bridge assembly, that would be a great addition to your build. That is a great idea and a very generous offer @rashdown_online Ill be talking to Mark and Carol soo...

Hi @Boo. As mentioned in the live stream chat today (Wed-02-Mar), if you and Mark could lobby Wudtone for them to donate a bridge assembly, that would be a great addition to your build. But if you don...

She’s 10,000 amps in one and more...so versatile. still love my valve amps though but all the sounds in one box...sweet 😍

Attachment : image.png That looks *very* nice. I like the subtle blending of colour, the shine looks shiny (even before buffing), and - best of all - that beautiful grain pattern is still very vis...

a top that is made up of lots of 3x2s all glued together so the top is really thick and planed dead flat, checked with straight edges and levelled with spirit levels. I’ve been through all of this wh...

finally warmed up some and I was able to put clear on this, I wasn't happy with the way the top was looking so I sanded it down and went at it again, I put my final coat of clear on it today, Im heade...

Oh my god....I can’t believe it. Just got the all clear from the Doc (yesterday) and then this..😭I’m a bit emotional.. I came on to say hi and then saw the post and checked YT and I nearly pas...

best car I ever had was an old Pug 306 that I ran on veg oil @peebee Yep, both mine are pugs, a 307 TD and a little 107 petrol for running around locally in. The 107 only costs £20 a year for Tax and...

I lost interest in cars a long time ago after realising they are all &hit! They all rust, fall to pieces and cost you money. I keep two bog standard cars on the road and only use them when I absol...

Hi Everyone Added the ebony veneer to tone down my over zealous truss rod access route... Also made progress on the body. Cutting the neck pocket was a tough as it was hard to make sure the whole th...
