@poco7 Hi from sunny Scotland, that's an epic post there and a lot to answer. So I'll make a start and I'm sure the rest of the gang will join in. NOTE: The .pdf i downloaded from GM for the list: "...

@boo I'm glad it got to you. I've got no idea where I plucked the wrong address from. I wonder who's address that is then.

@steveadams This should be a link to the video, I was wrong, that bit (refered to as the truss rod thing) isn't welded. At about 5 mins in, Mark is tightening the nut, I cant see anything to stop i...

@steveadams I haven't built an acoustic yet, so can't comment on the angle. I do rembemer watching a video of Mark making that type of truss rod. I'm not sure, but maybe the bottom rod should be welde...

@poco7 I'm also finding out that international A4, is slightly different than USA Letter size we are 8.5" x 11" where international is 8.25" 11.75" I hadn't realised that you dont have A4 paper si...

@poco7 Try printing to A4 but with your printer set to "print actual size" , it may be set at "print to fit page" and upsetting the scale.

@boo Just a B500k I think. I was up in Lochgilphead a couple of weeks back, all around that region, I love it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I'll put that in the po...

@boo I forgot to say that I did look for a pot in my spores box but don’t have one sorry I've got some used B500k pots that I got as a job lot, I'll send you one of these, or a pair of A&B, or a...

@tej I’m presuming you’d mix it with the later coats of dye once you have the colour pretty much deep enough for your tastes, I think that once you're happy with the colour then there no need to add...

@clinton I like the idea of hand sawing, but I don't think my lung capacity is up to the job anymore, I will be making a router sled though. This morning I visited the factory I used to work in, they...

I've just been and picked up some mahogany this evening, 150mm square x 960mm long. I think I'll try to make a thru neck from one of these, once I've figured out how I'm going to cut it. Attachment...

@tej I've been using various sizes of aerosol cans as sanding blocks for the curves. I did find it difficult to get it smooth inside the curves on my ash body, I get dips at the soft bits and bumps ar...

@steveadams Oh, you look so disappointed, just pull yourself together and think of the fun you're going to have finding a way to fix it. I can't offer you any advice as I haven't built an acoustic ye...

@tej Your carving is looking good. As for removing fingers, I've tried it and wouldn't recommend it.

That sounds like a plan @tej , carve off a bit at a time until it looks and feels right. The real skill is to stop before you take too much, because you can't put it back on so easily.

@tej My current buid isn't a bandsman, but is a similar shape. With the belly carve I've gone to almost half the body thickness. I hadn't intended carving so much out, but I was trying to get rid of a...

@ndakota 22/06/2021 7:45 am That's beautiful! That is what i would like to get! Is that still pine or you combined 2 types of wood? If it is still pine how did you get that color? No that's...

@ndakota I quite like the white colour of the pine, the other side is brown though. Attachment : 20201113_165902.jpg

@ndakota This is the finish that I got on pine with Danish Oil, I think it was three coats. As for disposal of the oiled cloths, I layed mine out on a concrete slab to dry, once they're dry you can bi...

@blake A nicely carved neck joint there, a good job well done.
