Hi @jamesbisset, I'd you're doing a tester it might be worth trying the black thick ca glue from O3 adhesives. I've not used their black, but their clear ca is good, as is the accelerator. They're a...

@jamesbisset. I have heard a few people talking very favourably about the Gluboost stuff James. Apparently it can be used for that very job and a number of other infill jobs. I haven't used it myself ...

Crimson sell their own stuff in their shop - although it seems to be out of stock more often than in stock. [edit] Looks like *all* their glues have now disappeared from the shop. Chestnut Products...

My Tonetech black CA gave up before I could use it (very cold workshop) so I’m looking around for a suitable replacement for doing my Mother of Pearl inlays into ebony. Tonetech now supply a ‘semi-tra...

Hey @tv101, Well, it's a bit of a long story, but I'll keep it short as I've been meaning to pop a progress post up, but keep making progress and not taking any photos 🤦🏻 Anyway, I'm c...

Just check the child protection laws @Robin ... 🤣 ... might need to be a short scale proper acoustic?? Congrats, that's a super cute pic

And good to see you (and everyone else) still here @Russ! I've been doing no building at all in the last year-ish, so it seemed a bit fraudulent to be posting on a guitar making forum! But JimBo me...

good to hear from you again @tv101 🙏🎸🙂🎶

@jamesbisset Great to see you back at it James. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

That was pretty much how I did mine, and it worked fine. I used a roundover cutter rather than sanding a chamfer (using the router allowed me to make a wonderful mistake, that's another story) and the...

Excellent. To be fair, that was implied by your titling of this thread ("my first laminated semi-hollowbody" implies that you were planning a second and maybe a third, fourth, fifth and more), so rea...

No mishap. It’s been on the drawings from the beginning. How could I, a simple brute peasant, reference the classic elegance and sophistication of D’Angelico and D’Aquisto? Simples. A wee hole. Almo...

@robin You’re a bad man 😉 My darling wife told me not to be such a fussy bugger. and I’ve decided this is a prototype - a proof of concept. But I really need to work on these slipping glue jo...

I'm trying to workout what mishap occurred that needed the "decorative hole" at the top as a fix???

After an extended hiatus, I went back to the workshop to glue on the back. Attachment : IMG_0246.jpeg I made a couple of MDF clamping rings to help distribute the pressure and hold everything i...

Nice one Neil, I seem to remember reading about copper bodied guitars somewhere and thinking they looked pretty cool. Are you going to use a wooden centre block? It will be very interesting to hear wh...

@nsj Just saw your next "bonkers" idea, Neil. This one will be interesting. 🎸🙂🎶🙏
