Could be another website/eBay offering, I don’t know, I’ve never actually costed them. Bloody useful though! @darrenking Ahhhh ... useful things, laser cutters, CNC machines, et al! Useful things th...

@darrenking Learning to play guitar and watching Mark's livestreams was only supposed to to pass the time while I was in lockdown and shielding, now the boat is laying neglected while I'm turning bit...

Bridge on, alignment check and pickup placement before drilling the holes. Making a left handed guitar is very confusing the first time you do it but I’m getting there. Attachment : BD1ABA28-EACC...

It’s all starting to come together and looking better than I thought it would, even though I say so myself. Attachment : EFBD6946-1A41-4AF5-9762-15E3FD5179A4.jpeg Attachment : CF6E9EB3-E13C...

That looks excellent. Somehow, Teles seem to look good to me when they have some "interesting" design features. Perhaps the relative plain-ness of an ordinary Tele makes the interesting ones stand ou...

@tv1010101 Thank you very much sir, I appreciate the kind words. I agree about the plain ones, I think traditionally people like them for their simplicity. I have made many Teles now and I think I’ve ...

Having been inspired by seeing Mark's modified fret slot cutting table saw I am going to have a go at building my own. Miguel at my favorite saw blade supplier (NLS - North London Saw) has found me a ...

Yeah, yeah, all these theories!!! I am really hoping to come across the large bag of pearl fret board inlays that I haven't seen since October! Anyway, this is what they look like when they are finish...

I only started to try to play guitar about 12 years ago just after my 50th birthday - an impulse buy on eBay of a second hand cheap Encore Strat copy was where I started. I had missed out on guita...

I started doing woodwork age about 7 or 8 when I lived in West London. My friend Terry and I used to make go carts from scraps of wood and pram wheels and Dad had a big shed full of tools so I grew up...

GREAT! Thanks for sharing that @petersoyanov I'll be demoing a super simple version of this on Sat - Guitar Making Tech - Clamping and Holding

@darrenking Two things then happened which have steered my life ever since. I discovered guitarmaking.co.uk and I ordered a bending iron from another supplier I've already posted a photo-thread of ...

This could end up being a bit like the beginning of an AA meeting when a new member joins the group!! Here’s my story: I have always loved making things. As a child my friends and I would make go-cart...

StewMac is the best but for us in the UK and anywhere else in the world, we have to pay all of those extra charges. There are some good specialist luthier/guitar builders shops in the UK, which I’ll g...
