@robin Looks great Robin, well done!!👍😃 More photos please, I’d like to see how that finish looks, I’m a nosey beggar🤣🤣👍😃🎸

@robin All of a sudden - a guitar! Well done, and thank you for the documentation of the whole build. I hope I can gain the courage to build an acoustic some day.

@nsj That’s pretty much what I was thinking, that insulation would be the key. We’ll stick with our oil fired CH for the present but would seriously think about making the change rather than getting a...

@brie ours is an ancient old stone cottage too, the biggest thing to cost is insulation. An air source pump can heat any building but the better the insulation the more efficient it is.

@nsj Interesting to hear how the heat pump/solar panels have reduced your heating costs. A friend of ours is going to have the survey done to see if he qualifies to have the work done and we were thin...

I actually tried that the first month. I can reach maybe 40% of the panels with a 4m pole and it works with dry powdery snow. But now we have a centimeter of ice on the panels, and snow on top of that...

@swepri get a brush on an extending pole lol

@boo first time in my life I've lived in a warm house, it's very weird. A lot cheaper though, was about £6 on leccy and £12 a day on coal and wood! Now I can have toasty house for anything from £4 to ...

@nsj We’ve just had all of that done but it’s all working well now. It is very disruptive but worth it.

@brie Nice one, that sounds good. You can’t go wrong with keeping on the right side of your local pub landlord. 🥃🥃👍

That fretboard looks like it will come up nicely @boo. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with it. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@robin Yeah ok, that sounds good. The one I have here and the one you are passing on to me, they will just be campfire guitars. If they don’t play well around the campfire then I can throw them on th...

@robin If you don't want it, I'll have it.

Has anyone ever had a guitar with a painted fretboard? I haven't but I do now. A friend of mine gave me an acoustic guitar that has seen better days and started to clean it up. The fretboard was full...

@nickkuk Looking good, nice work!! 😃 Really like that maple cap on the body. Thought mine was heavy at 4.1kg but you’ve beaten me on that one🤣🤣👍🎸

Cheers @robin. I really must have a go at trying to make some. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

So here it is for a bit - there's some alignment issues and the nut needs sorting but I missed it after playing the strat and acoustic. It's had some additional shaping, carves etc. I have some tidyin...

Coming along nicely @robin. Did you make the decal yourself or order them in? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@boo Thanks Boo, it’s not perfect but that’s why there has to be the next one, isn’t it? 👍🤣 I have been back in the workshop but doing something a bit more down to earth - fixing a cou...

@robin Looking good already Robin, fantastic job👍😃 Been having a look at the acoustic build course and already I can feel Mark’s can do attitude beginning to draw me in!!🤣...
