@boo Of course it is about you! Why would you think I care about the weight of your guitar? 🤣 The reason I asked is because I always thought that plywood was heavier then solid wood and I was...

@boo cheers! Skint can do with ease😅

@dhawkes1gmail-com Sounds wonderful and welcome to heaven, you will be skint though. Little money but rich in self made stringed instruments. Keep it going man and keep us all up to speed. 🔥&#...

@boo thanks man! I learnt a lot doing this one and want to get on with the next soon so I don't forget. I'm thinking of getting two on the go at the same time.If i can sell one that week help pay for ...

@koendb thank you! I drew up some other designs, but in all honesty they were ridiculous. This was the simplest and easiest to do!

@dhawkes1gmail-com That’s a nice build sir, well done. On to the next build. Got any plans?

@dhawkes1gmail-com Nice work! I especially love your headstock idea. Simple, but unique ( at least for me ).

Thanks Russ! It's a Rothko and Frost decal. That and the Headstock veneer were last minute additions. I learnt a lot. Like that decals and tru oil don't play nicely. That's the second decal I used a...

@koendb Nice, I think we have some very similar ideas in creativity.

@boo I used it to repair some ground poles that where slowly rotting away. But I intent to use it for lots more, like making table or stool legs, etc...

@koendb Man I love the shavehorse. What do you use it for? I want to make one, I’ve been thinking about it for ages.

@russ Thanks! It will replace my backpack I was using to drag my tools, pencils and notes back and forth from Lute building class.A bit heavier, but nicer to open a drawer then to go looking for that ...

Lovin' the wee tool chest @koendb. 🙂🙏🎶🎸

Lovely work!

Forgot to say that I hammered in a few frets before I glued on the bridge. Attachment : PXL_20230519_133334567.jpg And beveled the edges. Attachment : PXL_20230519_144658653.jpg Ἳ...

Then glued it on. Use two 4mm drill bits to locate it in place then clamp it on using the three wee cauls on top and the bridge plate caul inside. Attachment : PXL_20230525_102634606.jpg At...
