Aah maaan something always have to end up crooked .. this time it is one of the dots which I managed to completely misalign! oh well I am not going to bother fixing that.. This guitar will be called D...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 My only comment is that if we are going to do video chat on Thursdays when Carol is not doing Bliss, then we should make a distinction between the two nights or it will gui...

Tagging @robin - and anyone else who fancies joining in!

Posted by: @tv101 Join us on Jitsi @tv101 I will. 👍

Workshop time booked for tomorrow. If I can remember the way out there.

Good to see & chat with everyone again last night 🙂 Bit disappointed that we didn't get the live demo of airbrush tatooing, but there's something to look forward to in a future session ... ...

Right, I’ve pulled my finger out and remasked this guitar body, ready for more paint. I’ll get purple candy on it tomorrow, unmask it and seal it in with a few coats of clear. When it’s dry, I’ll sand...

@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-gu...

@koendb Thanks. I'm getting anxious to get it going. Darn work keeps getting in the way. 🙂

Thank you for all that positive feedback and comments. 😊 You guys rock!

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 s...

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 no...

Sanding of the sides: done. Facets towards heel and tail: done. Kerfed lining for the back: done.Although a bit sloppy cut work there, I am afraid my notches are a bit on the big side. Here and there ...

@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? 🤔

FYI: Fretwire is available with different tang widths - so it fits tighter or looser in the slot to allow for both forward and back bow situations like this. We used to call it 'repair wire' and it wa...

They say that, since they are thicker, there is less energy lost and the guitar should vibrate more. As an engineer I'm inclined to agree with this. I see the sides as a structure to support the soun...

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) agai...

Posted by: @robin @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. Just a half dist...

Well, today, I did some final touch ups on the curves of the sides and they now remained within a few mm from where they should be sitting.Then sanded the sides with 80, 120 and 240. Next: Kerfed Lini...
