Hi Russ, the logos were done on the PC and printed onto inkjet waterslide transfer paper. It took a lot of coats of lacquer to build it up enough to hide the edges of the transfers. @robin. Did you spend…   Read more»

@robin Hey Robin, did you write your logo by hand or use a decal? Very neat.  
🙂🎶🎸🙏

@robin
You are correct.
Cutting a hole like a control cavity or for a pickup would be done clockwise. Profiling and rounding over a body would be done counter clockwise.

Oh wow @robin that’s a real life saver tip, I wouldn’t have thought about that. 
Great idea @frocesterbill, I think I’ll borrow that one.

@robin I didn’t have plastic like real guitars have, but I did have wood. I was just being a typical cheapskate Scotsman.  I don’t think using wooden covers is being cheap, quite the contrary. I think using plastic is cheap,…   Read more»

I hope you enjoyed your haggis, neeps and tatties.

@robin Yeah I did enjoy them, I really love it. I’ve got another haggis in the fridge for next week. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 

Suggestion by @Robin seems like a good resolve.

I’ll need to find Mark’s carving video for a reminder on how to do that. @robin That’s a great fix with the neck pocket. I did the same thing, I routed the neck pocket before cutting out the body. I…   Read more»

Routers are horrible things. Aren’t you painting this one Boo, I’m sure you can fix that and hide it. @robin Yeah I’m painting it so I can easily do a repair and it will never be seen.   I know…   Read more»

Wowza! @Robin That is looking really really good! Cannot wait to see that seamless neck joining. Sweeet!!

 
Looks great @robin!
That‘s some nice work with the filler piece in the neck pocket!

Yes go for it @Robin, I watched Marks live stream carving again, its fairly straight forward and looks great.
I will be back at it today!

Looking good there @robin, maple neck and suh-weet piece of ash 😉
Good job on that neck joint!

*Power Devil*   I’m 99% sure that’s the make of my original router.  Bought in the 1980s sometime (from B&Q!) and still going strong.  If that bandsaw is half as good, then you @Robin have got a handy tool, and…   Read more»

This is going to make life so much easier @robin Well, I could see you struggling, I had a spare and had the means to send it via courier. It was a no brainer. If a fellow fellow builder is…   Read more»

Great guy that boo, rock that Power Devil Robin!
 

That’s not so much if,  it’s when. When I’m at my caravan over on the west coast it’s a different time zone again, everything is in Argyll time, nothing happens quickly. That’s not a bad thing though, very relaxing. @robin…   Read more»

Definitely Guitar Making Time!!!

Guitar Making Time  or  Grenwich Mean Time 

@robin If Scotland get independence, they will have to call it SST (Scottish Standard Time). 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@robin Good solution for roof repairs is epdm rubber sheet. It’s available on the Internet and is custom made to any size, you just need to nail down some Sterling Board (OSB) first. Much better than roofing felt and is…   Read more»
