@liebe Hey Dan This is Carol now on Marks page 😉 NO offence taken at all - we know we have been absent, and it is shame indeed ... BUT we are finally making our way back up to where we were ... and ...

@markbailey , take your time health first the rest comes later. Thx for the update. Best to you and the familie.

Hi @markbailey Thanks for the reply. I hope my comment didn't offend, it certainly wasn't my intention, and really sorry to hear you're going through tough times. I think everyone would be thrilled w...

@liebe hello to you and everyone who sees this - things have gone a bit astray here, mainly because of family illness after the pandemic - but we are trying to get back on track. There is some news......

@russ thanks bud, it's so much nicer, the whole fit and finish is vastly improved and now I could happily put it up for sale

@nsj Enjoyed watching this, Neil. Good to see how things can be adapted rather than building from scratch. 🙌 🎸🙏🙂🎵

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com Cheers

@liebe the finish was kinda tacky, floyd sat fairly high above the recess and the recess rout wasn't very good. That one was my first carve top too I believe. I prefer to bring the recarve further out...

@nsj nice guitar

@nsj lovely. I don't think there was, but just in case there was any misunderstanding, my comment was based on my mixed results with flattening with a router sled not any suggestion you were doing it ...

@liebe surfacing bit from radian tools, use it then give it a quick sand and it's ready to go. I use 80 grit on a hard piece of wood.

Meant to include a before pic of how the guitar used to look Attachment : 20230308_162921.jpg Full build can be found on my youtube channel too

Lovely work @nsj! I wouldn't have thought the tiger router would have left the body surface flat enough for gluing on a top, but good to know!

nice guitar

Built this one a while agao, first carve top. Had a few things i wasm't happy with, floyd sat above the body, recess wasn't nicely lined up and the finish was kinda sticky. I thought lets improive it....

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 let us cook wood then

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com Thanks! That’s what I was looking at online, but looks different than his. Then I noticed he mentioned a “microplane”. But microplanes are for zesting lemons and turnin...

Its a rond surform, you can find one in the shop. Stanley has one aswell

Hey all, I'm looking around for this round rasp that mark uses in this video, but I'm unsure what to look for, would this just be considered a curved surform or something? Attachment : Screensho...

@liebe Thanks for that drawing, it's very helpful!
