@robin Well done Robin it looks good and is certainly challenging

Hey @somethingnicer - THANKS for ordering the kit!! Carol is packing your parts - she will message you with an update today . Sorry about the contact form - we have contacted the webguys . Can you se...

Cheers @robin! Maybe I'll look into bending the sides myself, I think a mate has a bending iron and his badly can I need up making the moulds?!😅 No shame in getting a pre made fretboard!

@robin looks excellent! Did you buy the acoustic build kit available in the shop? I'm thinking about pulling the plug on it, but would have to buy the sides bent and I'm not sure how long they'd keep ...

@robin thanks!

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Nice work James. I fancy having a wee go at a uke one day. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Thanks Mark, that means a lot. The trouble is, all the effort in making the molds, templates, jigs and solera........all the fidling about trying to make the nut, saddle and bridge from scratch.... al...

Absolutely gorgeous - great plan! You'll probably find guitars much easier now after that - I did anyway. I found ukes to be a lesson in humility myself as they are much smaller and very much fiddlier...

This is my first ukelele - I made it from offcuts from a a hard flooring company near me and as such, was able to make a shed load of inexpensive mistakes in the course of my learning. I invested in ...

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

Hi - I've just done some tests with pine. Firstly I used 18mm pine with a variety of settings, but it was having none of it. I then used 8mm pine which cut pretty well with the following settings: ...

More than 20 years ago I went to the Bailey workshop to build my first guitar. One evening Mark played a video of a guitar player I had never heard of, Tommy Emmanuel. I was blown away with it. Over t...

@musicjohnmcculloch-net It would be nice to have that Z-axis motor. It is fiddly to adjust the height manually. Please keep us posted on your progress with pine. 👍

That would work as well; though if you check out E80 cutting 16mm pine it suggests that pine would also be an option. I haven't tested with pine, I'll give it a go in the next couple of days.

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

Good afternoon, Here's a question that I am sure must also come up with 6 string pick ups. The bridge that I have ordered has 19mm string spacing ie 57mm in total but the pitch of the bridge pickup po...

I guess it also allows for a greater distance between the pick ups and I think with a longer neck it would make sense to go for a heavier body material just to maintain balance. I may go to 33.25" or ...

Now THAT is commitment! 🤣 🤣 Attachment : IMG_6695.JPG

And update - there's alot since the last update. Firstly I've installed some temporary electrics and pickups etc to test it out. Sounds good - there's some fret work and some other bits but it's play...

Cruising the digital highway I found this clip of my band from 15 years ago.
