I have the SM nut spacing rule @rocknroller912 and I wouldn’t slot a nut without it. It’s a bit fiddly but it works well and it covers every spacing for nuts and bridges that you would ever use, indis...

This morning, I sanded the rosette flat, which took only a few minutes, since I did quite a good job with the mini planer and chisel ( That curved chisel I bought from this shop is awesome! I can reco...

Today I spend all day getting better at sharpening knifes, plane blades and chisels..For the rest, I just tested my cute little flat sole mini plane. Practicing arching bracings on a left over piece &...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 This is inspiring. I’m helping my broth in law to build his first guitar at the moment from a scaffold plank. I find soft wood a challenge. @rocknroller912 Yeah soft wood ...

I know I’ve built a few Barncaster type guitars from pallet wood now but this guy has just inspired me to try harder and do better. Wow! ✊🎸 I feel a new challenge coming on in the new y...

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.

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...

@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 ...
