@tv101 @boo On my first venture in guitar assembling I bought a pile of bits from various places, amongst them was strat shaped body that was claimed to be a fender of some sorts and it is made from ...

@russ Its looking great Russ.

Its been nearly 3 months since I've done anything to this build. But I've cleared a bit of shed space at the caravan and got some room to work. The clear space is only temporary though, my first grand...

@russ My home is in Polmont but I'm not really there much at this time of the year, I spend most of my time over in Argyll at my caravan, but I'm sure we could catch up sometime when we're both in th...

@russ Cheers @robin. It has been an epic journey. You never know..... maybe, one day, I'll bring it down to show you. That would be good, remind me where you are.

@russ I have to take my hat off to you Russ, you're doing some epic work there.

@boo Good work and good idea with the whisky stain, I wish I'd thought of that for my whisky barrel top. Maybe you could've just dipped it in the plentiful supply of Campbeltown loch and saved some o...

@clinton Good to hear from you Clinton, I was hoping you hadn't been caught up in the fires, from what we've seen on news reports here in UK it looks absolutely horrendous.

@tv101 Congratulations on your successful electronic build, it was a good decision to avoid the bang. Back in my working days I inadvertently put 240v AC into the 24v DC circuit of a control system w...

@clinton Looking Sharp Surely after routing and sanding it should be Flat. LOL.

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 I haven't made a rosette myself yet, so I not talking from experience. But in hindsight, I'm wondering if you had staggered the black/white/black joints would that avoid ...

I've got a little bit more done. It took me a couple of attempts to join the top, after the first attempt, a split appeared about 3mm from the joint, so I cut it and tried again. The top is stika spuc...

@bpower That all looks great, I really need to be getting on with my acoustic build, seeing this is helping to spur me on. I like the way you're getting your daughter involved, my daughter gave me a ...

@clinton When I started watching your video marking out the neck carve, my first thought was that I couldn't do that with any accuracy with gloves on. I was glad to see you take the goves off, I don'...

Welcome to the forum Simon, we're all friendly here and as long are your stupid questions are related to guitar building then fire away.

My opinion is that the change in the angle of the frets will be imperceptible. You're fortunate to have the fretboard wider than the neck, so I would sand or plane the fretboard to the width of the ne...

@boo Is that a 10 litre tin, that certainly won't be cheap.

@peter - c - f Welcome to the group Peter, I'm looking forward to seeing what you produce, sounds interesting. I'm not far from you, I live near Falkirk although I spend most of my time in a caravan i...

@rathius 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. Come to Scotland, we had our summer last week. We got up to ...

@rathius I need to stop the center of the bit at the nut but that seems too far. Any suggestions, thoughts, cautions, etc? Or maybe just some very helpful advice? I think you would want to stop wi...
