Posted by: @rocknroller912 I won’t be surprised to find a few blood stains in my next parcel. @rocknroller912 It wouldn’t surprise me either, it’s insane.

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Man nearest the camera puts his hands right up to the saw blade. @rocknroller912 What crazy fools. 🤪

Fixed it. Barely any gap there, and what is there will fill out fine when I go to paint the body. (Wish I could get my neck joint to look like that-about the top 3/32" is gappy!)

Continuing on, the bandsaw makes short work of roughing out the body shape. I actually used two different bandsaws-the big one can't get into the tight spots well, and the little saw still didn't get ...

I'm still working on the Explorer-body uke. But, since that first neck is "good enough" to use, but won't fit the explorer body, I doodled up a fendery body to fit. A really good Craigslist deal means...

Hope you all have a great Xmas and New Year - with love from Mark and Carol Apologies if you have seen it already... MASSIVE THANKS to to each and every one of you ...we don't know how we would have...

Posted by: @russ Great performances @jamesbisset & @tv101.........and a lovely bit of bromance. 😁💛 🎶🎸🙏🙂 Cheers @Russ - it really was a quick thin...

@tv101 To go from my weekly Apple/Spotify ‘you had zero listens’ reports to this - my head is still l spinning. My work here is done.

Posted by: @rocknroller912 You’re not having much luck. Well , rather be unlucky now, then when the guitar is almost complete....Plus, I do learn a lot.. It's ok, I will continue making braces and o...

At last something that resembles a guitar body. There a few uneven bits around the sides but I’ve got them as good as I can with my limited knowledge and ability. A bit more sanding required and the n...

Second attempt at posting. Soundboard and back braced and carved apart from the x braces. I’m leaving those until the sides are done. There’s more involved with this stage than meets the eye it’s NOT ...

Acoustic neck part 1 done. Nothing too taxing here but I had to improvise with material removal due to my bandsaw not being big enough. Anyway onto the soundboard Attachment : 32CAE77A-4A53-4788-8...

@markbailey The photos dont load for me, but I understand what you mean 🙂 I think I am ok now ! my last attempt seems to have resolved the issue.If not, I 'll be back 🙂 Cheers guys for all the advic...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 It looks like the cracks are where the wood changes from heart to sap wood, unless it’s glue stain giving a darker colour. The dark spot is actually glue residu, from my g...

@koendb there must have been flaws in this wood from the beginning. Gotta love the unpredictability of wood. 🙂 I think it is still a good call to keep going. I believe if you can get to the point of g...

Posted by: @robin Glue it up and carry on regardless. When its ready to glue to the body, thats when to decide if its usable. At worst case you'll have had a good practice. @robin, fair point.. from...

One more attempt. baking paper behind it, removed excess glue with a dry rag this time, instead of a damp one. Attachment : IMG_20211220_221945223.jpg Lets see tomorrow, if it is good, I ll do ...

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

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I also wonder if the crack is in an area which will be covered by the bridge plate and X bracing these will be strong reinforcement I think. Well I still have a rectangula...
