That’s the hard bit done now @robin. The end is in sight. Nicely done. 
🎸🙂🎶🙏

@robin thanks! Sounds like the kit is a good option to start with

It’s all coming along nicely @robin. 
🙂🎶🎸🙏

That’s looking great @robin. You’ve done a fantastic job joining the back and the top. Adding binding does give it added strength but with such a neat join I think it’s worth leaving it as it is too……you can always…   Read more»

 
It would probably have to be some old Grateful Dead T-shirt from the ’60’s @robin. 🤣

Nice work @robin. Those little diamonds are a very common way to support the crack but I’ve just heard recently about the use of Japanese paper can be used, pasted along the inside of the crack. It tends to be…   Read more»

Love this, thanks @robin!

Thanks @robin for taking the time to pull that all together, it appreciated. Seeing some of the steps undertaken had fleshed out my thoughts. I think your confirming what I’d initially thought, in that it’s a massive pain in the…   Read more»

@robin that’s exactly what I’m on about! Thank god someone understood me! I’m drawing up a design that’s kinda SG thin, so want a way of attaching the neck while keeping the body thin. Can I ask how you went…   Read more»

@robin thanks! I’ll make another post on it when I wind next. I became obsessed with “demystifying” guitars and one of the big things is pickups. It’s surprisingly not that difficult (although there is a decent learning curve) premade winders…   Read more»

@robin Nice work Robin, very tidy.
Merry Christmas to you and all everyone in the community 🎅🏻Ho Ho Ho!!

Looking great @robin.

@robin 
Thanks I haven’t seen this before and only have his mandolin book. For a first build I would stick with Marks course and it will be a good guitar. Tap tuning is fairly advanced.

@robin 
violins are tuned F front and F# back

@robin 
A# sounds a bit off. I watched a video on classical building where the top was an F and I think steel string is lower 
 

@robin 
Tap tuning takes a lot of experience. Some makers even tune after the body is closed by scraping the outside of the soundboard and tapping to get a ring.

@robin I’m amazed with this acoustic build of yours, I’m slowly being convinced to have a go myself. 
And……. I recognise that bandsaw. Still going strong is it? 

@robin
Hi Robin, I cut my kerfed lining to 0.5mm thick. You have to be very careful with it but it is very bendy. 
🎶🙂🎸🙏

@robin no problem 🙂
I may have to do the same. It’s been really expensive trying to get everything together for my first build: power tools, materials, hardware. I’ve got to start making compromises now.

@robin I’m looking for a non-notched ruler 🙂
