@prodoozer The forum is a great way of generating interest in building and a lot more friendly than some of the other social media groups

@prodoozer Welcome to the group. Do you have any tools yet or are you starting with nothing.

I got a replica England rugby shirt in red so that I can wear it to the pub when England beat Scotland in the 6 Nations 2021 (if the nippie sweetie ever allows pubs to open again). Also treated myself...

@jamesbisset @mattbeels As far as I know scatter winding produces a higher resonant frequency which gives a fuller range of sound

@darrenking I can understand why people would want to do a self build pick up but it should be different to an off the shelf commercial product to make it worthwhile. It's important to start with a de...

@frocesterbill Could you help me out with how you wired your counter up please, which connections are the power supply. Don't want to do trial and error in case I damage it.

@darrenking Its something I've thought about for a while (years) and have discussed it a length with a friend of mine who has a degree in instrumentation and is also an instrument builder. Never actua...

Nearly There ! My last job of the year maybe. Fret dressing and re-sprayed the black on the front of the peg head due to the owner wanting to remove the logo. Also fitted new Grover tuners. Attachm...

@darrenking I will have to investigate the vacuum press a bit more, it seems like the way forward

@darrenking Your business sounds very impressive and it's great that you can adapt it to guitar making. During 2013 I visited the Martin factory in America where all the acoustic bracing is glued usin...

@jamesbisset Pleased to see that you have got a good result at last

@darrenking Do you sell the chairs through your own business or through another firm

@frank1985 I'm not sure where you live for sourcing a respirator. I was a qualified Health & Safety manager doing risk assessments for all types of Worksop tasks including PPE, masks, gloves etc. ...

Pesky auto correct, should read "I've sent Carol an email"

@markbailey On the live stream yesterday you were asking for music to add to the video. I couldn't get anything to load here due to my laptop being very old and have sent Carolman email with a short t...

@jamesbisset Sorry to read that you didn't get a great result. You could try trimming the dowel using a sharp knife, chisel or gouge by starting from the edge and cutting towards the centre. That way ...

@clinton Your arch top looks good, did you build it from plans.

@boo Just had another thought, could you ask local shops if they are throwing any packaging out. I'm sure loads get chucked every week.

@boo Could you use something like a large vacuum bag in reverse, blow it up with air with lots of wrapping inside. Medics use things like that as splints so it might work if you find one big enough. A...

@robin Your acoustic looks like a jumbo style, what make is it.
