Then gouged out using chisels. Attachment : PXL_20221222_152643727.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221222_152200582.jpg 🎶🎸🙏🙂

I cut out the edges using my Japanese saw. Attachment : PXL_20221222_143051515.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221222_143123547.jpg 🙂🙏🎸🎶

Next I marked out the dovetail. Attachment : PXL_20221222_141219576.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221222_141231194.jpg 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Then I had to radius the top edge and the back edge again. Attachment : PXL_20221130_153119512.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221130_154528941.jpg 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Then I cut the kerf into the strips using the kerfed lining jig on the bandsaw. Attachment : PXL_20221118_091601449.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221118_091944101.jpg 🎶🎸🙏...

Next I prepared the strips of wood for the Kerfed lining. Attachment : PXL_20221104_132319153.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221104_152410508.jpg Attachment : PXL_20221109_151125917.jpg &...

@koendb @boo Umhhh, you might need to chime in on this. We need your advice. I am about to pull the trigger on spray guns real soon as well.

@boo Yes I am ok. Tragic what happened in Maui. I live on the island of Kauai. Thank you for the concern. Good to see your back on the forum. We missed you.

@tv101 That is freakin awesome!!!

5w is plenty loud enough for my needs @clinton! The "Power" control dials that down to about 0.1w, with anything in between available at the turn of the dial. I already had a "clean" (ie Fenderish) 5...

@tv101 An Amp?!!! Woohaaa! Yes go! 30 watt tube?

Ouch @Robin!

I finally carved the neck, it was very enjoyable, so theraputic! I mostly used a spokeshave and carving knife for the transitions volute and the heel, I'll do a bit more carving once it's glued toge...

8. The trickier bit. Wiring in the front panel controls. Doing this when the board is already full of components, and mounted in the chassis, means poking a soldering iron around in some fairly tig...

now, that made me laugh. Many thanks for that. Having said that, the Americans in the Large Scale Plane forum do tend to say they stick a fork in their kit at the end of the work. I rather put it i...

Is this some sort of strange thing that people do in Belgium? Over here in outside-Europe, most people aim at the guitar rather than their feet, and keep their feet dry. 🤣

5. Now let's plug it in and wait for the bang. Attachment : 20230812_121138.jpg (there was no bang, so there's more to come ...) 6. In the absence of bangs, keep on with the right bits, rig...

That was where we started, a few days ago. Since when I've been busy, wielding a hot soldering iron (when I remember to switch it on) and inhaling those lovely solder fumes ... 1. Bare Chassis. A...

OK, so not exactly *bored* of building guitars, but time for something a little different ... Attachment : 20230808_111842.jpg Attachment : 20230808_122639.jpg Can you see what it is...
