@bpower All looking good, and you're so organised with your chisel rack there.

I haven't got the mandolin to repair yet, the owner is recovering from covid so I'll be keeping clear of him until he's better. But my daughter gave me her Daisy Rock guitar to fix up for her. It did...

@swepri Welcome to the group, you'll get all the help you need here. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of your first build.

Thats another great build @clinton , looks and sounds brilliant.

@boo I've got a big wooden plane that I think was was grandad's, I rescued it from going to the skip a few months ago when my brother was clearing out his garage. I've still to clean it up and sharpe...

@boo That is an inspiring build, you would never know that it started as pallet wood. I like that clever trick of taping a batten over the body when he was planing the flat angle over the horn end. A...

@wolframmalukker Almost invisible repair, nice one.

Welcome to the group @fkbur , I stumbled on to this site by chance too, now I'm building my third guitar, its a great place to be.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Hogmanay to you all.

@koendb @Rocknroller912 has a good point, there's likely to more challenges along the way. Glue it up and carry on regardless. When its ready to glue to the body, thats when to decide if its usable. ...

@koendb You're not giving up on it are you, can't you glue it again ?

I love how it looks now, if you hold it in front of a light source... Well done @koendb , flawless.

Nice work @boo. Did you paint your profile mug shot too?

@rocknroller912 At £6 plus a nip in the local pubs I don’t think you would be having very many I'll maybe just save my £6 for set of strings then.

That's a braw guitar.

@rocknroller912 My town has a whisky distillery also opened a few years ago and it does tours. My days of trying to drink a whole distillery are long behind me.

Several beers, especially some Belgian beerwould be very welcome indeed. We can offer some drams of Scottish whisky in return. I'm not a big beer drinker, but I'm sure I could manage a wee whisky or ...

@bpower Excellent work there, now I hope that you're going add dimensions before you waste your time on house chores.

@steveh It's not just the bike I'm trying to protect. At the moment, there's a thin layer of sawdust over pretty much everything (my garage tools, for example) in the garage and I'd rather there was...

@frocesterbill Welcome to retirement, you'll find that there still isn't enough time to do everything you want.
