@tv101 Are we having a Tuesday night chat tonight, it being Tuesday? I should be able to join in after my dinner.

Well done @powerful , your guitar looks beautiful and sounds great.

I've no experience of poplar but I think that it would be relatively soft in comparison to the mahogany. Personally, I would just use the mahogany for the neck. I'm assuming that the glued up boards h...

@rathius Thats a lucky find. It might be scrap to them, but your trained eye sees guitars. I get that same feeling when I see my daughter's coffee table, but she won't let me have it.

@jamesbisset Have I missed all the action? It’s 21:30 here and I seem to be the only one in the room... You must have just missed us, thats just about the time I left the room. It was good to meet ...

@tv101 Tagging@robin- and anyone else who fancies joining in! Thanks, I'll try to be there, my Internet has been a bit temperamental lately possibly due to the weather we're having, hopefully it'll ...

@boo The pale moon ebony looks good, it flows out nicely from the lava lamp effect. I think I'd find it confusing to play though.

@boo And by complete coincidence, that is the name of this particular purple candy paint. Maybe its not coincidence, but looking good nevertheless.

@boo Someone bought me that exact same book last year and I’ll be doing the same as you and build some out of whatever detritus I can repurpose. Dont rely on the imperial to metric conversion thou...

My daughter gave me this book for xmas and I'm sure I'll build one at some point. I'm thinking of making something rustic to give her to hang on the wall in her new house as a thanks for the book, pro...

@bpower I have used epoxy and I think that it worked absolutely fantastic. Isn't it great when you overcome these little challenges.

@koendb I'm so impressed with what you've done so far.

@boo Roll on Burns night on Tuesday. The Burns Supper that I usually go to has been postponed until March this year. The last one I went to, I was stone cold sober, it was a whole new experience (n...

@tv101 The following Tuesday is ok with me. I should be free next Tuesday, how do I go about joining in?

@boo I quite like the look of the dark red and gold, and honestly wouldn't have known there is anything wrong with it. Not until I saw the photo where you wiped back down to purple, I can see now its...

They say that, since they are thicker, there is less energy lost and the guitar should vibrate more. As an engineer I'm inclined to agree with this. I see the sides as a structure to support the soun...

@mario I like this piece of ebony, and would like to repair it, so I appreciate your comments, where can I find a suitable veener? Do you have any offcuts from your ebony that you can sand a pile o...

@wolframmalukker THEN I see this crack opening up! I think I would fill the crack with superglue and sand it again before the glue sets to work the sanding dust into the crack. The downside is th...

@koendb You're doing well, is it side bending next.
