Posted by: @rocknroller912 I know this is hard to believe but I was chatting with Joni a few weeks ago on her fan page. I commented on her photo and she said message me direct, and we chatted for a…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 @koendb @jamesbisset @boo @darrenking I’ll whatsapp SteeveeDee separately – not sure what his ID is on here?   Reminder that we said we’d have a Guitar Builders’ Jitsi at 8pm on Tuesdays.  I was going to create a different chatroom -…   Read more»

@rocknroller912 @koendb @jamesbisset Just in case you guys aren’t on Carol’s other email list, she’s said no Bliss tonight, but has sent out Jitsi details. So, it’d be in addition to our talk-about-guitars-chat on a Tuesday, and will probably be more talk-about-other-things-instead. …   Read more»

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I would be interested if you have one with a back bow. @rocknroller912 I have an old acoustic knocking around somewhere with no truss rod, it does not play well. Lots of string buzz, it may have…   Read more»

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Be careful when you are trimming the soundboard to the sides it can split very easily in the waist area due to splitting along the grain. I am actually doing that right now, with a chisel, thumb…   Read more»

Good to see so many of us virtual friends on Thursday
🙂
@rocknroller912 @koendb @jamesbisset @steeveedee
This coming Tuesday might be a bit soon, so how about the following Tuesday @8pm (UK time) again?
Everyone else welcome too!

@rocknroller912 It’s a great method. How would you go about doing the opposite thing, do you think? If the neck had a back bow? 🤔

Side bending job done, now the pics:

Posted by: @rocknroller912 You can show us on the video call next Tuesday if you like. @rocknroller912: Yes ! If I can make it, I ‘ll definitely show what I have

@rocknroller912 I kinda wonder if it would be the other way around. I’ve been doing a lot of reading and watching others making their laminated sides and I’ve seen a few that, when they are done laminating 2 pieces that…   Read more»

Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass

@rocknroller912
The bass side is thicker. Just finished sanding the other one to 2.15~2.25mm

@rocknroller912 thanks. 

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle. @rocknroller912 Ah I did not know that. Luckily for me, it seems to have worked…   Read more»
