**Last Update for a while** I don’t want to keep boring you all with this same paint job so this is the last one for a while. I got painted the back differently to the front, using different masking ...

@rocknroller912 Yes of course, I wouldn’t suggest/support copying a Bandsman but I have other templates that I can offer. It’s not a big deal, I doubt this would turn into a huge thing. But a template...

@peebee I agree that mistakes are annoying, but don’t worry! You’re bound to be making a few more anytime now and then you’ll forget all about that truss rod slot, problem solved! 😆 @rocknroll...

Here are a couple more progress pics. There's a good shot here of the router mishap! Looking good @ peebee. Good choice of place to make your mistake. Only you will know it's there........ .oh, and a...

Attachment : mp-star.jpg Hey!! I'm very proud to present my first creation! (hopefully, of many!) I'll uploading a short video of the adventure soon. Feedback is very welcome (please go easy on me...

Quick Update ✨✨✨✨🎸 Ive just unmasked the pin striping and covered it in clear base coat which will protect it whilst I do the back. Attachment : ED846C7B-B4B...

Woohoo! Come and watch the chips fly as I carve Ricky's Big D neck Carol will be especially tetchy today...let's hope we don't fall out...

Thanks Peebee It's in my Dad's hands now, so hopefully he's enjoying it.. cheers Steve

Best option: Commission a Moonshiner with Arm Chamfer and watch me make it live!

I went a bit OTT but it’s gonna look better when I take the pin striping off and get some clear on it, then it will come alive. I cannot capture the effect of it on camera, it’s just not picking it up...

@peebee I'm planning to make a Les Paul replica later on in this year as well. I already have the flame top, pick ups, body blank, plans and some part made templates from clear plastic which I'm going...

Still the next guitar will be better @peebee Of course it will be better, you live and learn my virtual friend. Just keep building and learning and everything will be ok. Enjoy it. “Don’t try and mak...

Still the next guitar will be better. It always is @peebee - no matter how many you make, the next one is always better. At least, that’s been my experience. I reckon, if I make enough, I’ll event...

As it is my birthday next week and nobody buys me presents any more, I’ve splashed out a bit and bought a new sander. 😁 Attachment : C3BEAE1C-91D3-48DD-AC9C-156267BDEBB7.jpeg Attachm...

I’m getting there, just waiting for the wind to calm down. I’ve done a bit of taping out, ready for some airbrushing. Exciting. Attachment : 71D1CA27-0E00-4AAC-BB47-66BDCD5F8F26.jpeg Attac...

Never seen a truss rod yet that wasn't a bit thicker at the headstock end - by the time you've 'nibbled out' for that your 'learning opportunity' will be even less noticable. 🙂 I tried dust extraction...

That'll be the truss rod slot learning curve that you've routed there. 😆 @robin!

Hello. I've just joined the happy community with the aim of building another guitar. Having completed the "Thistle" last year with the online video series, I am getting bolder with "Thistle 2". More a...

@peebee however, the error was not full depth or that long That'll be the truss rod slot learning curve that you've routed there. I'm fairly sure that we've all got one of these hidden under a fretb...
