Well I ain't done anything to the guitar today but there maybe a logo on the headstock quite soon! Got a new toy and of course I've been messing with it trying various burn times etc lol Attachme...

Something about music and software technology. I think there's so much overlap, including the planning and estimating! 🤣 Welcome and I look forward to seeing your progress.

They made a LOT of things better back then. Well made them to last not to be thrown away in a few years. Planned obsolescence, the only way corporations can survive these days. Too many companies figh...

@nsj we’ll just jump on a plane and come on over. You can help carve some necks in the heat. 🤣 Make sure it’s somewhere between late July and mid-September to get the full experience though. D...

@rathius some people would pay for that kind of sauna experience bud! LOL

@rathius That's frickin cool! I think they just used really good wood for handles in those days hence why they last

Here’s what I use most. 😁 Attachment : IMG_0796.MOV I think Mark has something like this he mentions being his fav too. This one is antique and was originally used by my Dad in the body...

I’m in Kentucky, USA and it’s Summer. That means it’s hot here, and high humidity, plus I don’t have A/C in my garage/workshop. Makes for sweaty, sometimes hard to breathe, manual labor. One place I u...

@clinton thanks for asking. I think it will definitely poke through. I've filled the gouges with resin. I'm actually curious to see how that turns out. I'll keep you posted. Also, I've found that I'm ...

@robin Marks method is so quick too, takes me no time to do a neck these days.

Got the middle aged man belly carve done today, held the binding on to see how it'll look. Top carve will be down to the binding. Attachment : 20230626_171934.jpg Attachment : 20230626_17...

@rathius put the rotuer down and grab a shinto saw rasp lol I love hand carving the neck But, sometimes like with doing the truss rod channel I'll use a clamp or clamp and piece of wood as a stop...

I finished putting the binding on. Hangs over the neck about 0.5mm. That will get taken care of once I put the frets and side dots in. Next step? That big scary router bit to profile the back of the n...

So I decided to take Sunday off but I’m back at it this morning. I just finished adding binding to the neck. Later today I will be cutting the rear profile of the neck with that bit. I’m planning to s...

Got most of the routing done today, floyd lines up nice too. Still waiting on a cavity template set that should've been here last week before I do any more. Well apart for the belly carve, I could do ...

Body wings glued on and cut out, I did forget to do the side dots first but I think I'll manage lol Attachment : 20230624_225613-01.jpeg
