@russ This is all very impressive work, I’m so pleased to finally see your work. 👍

@russ Thanks! It will replace my backpack I was using to drag my tools, pencils and notes back and forth from Lute building class.A bit heavier, but nicer to open a drawer then to go looking for that ruler in…   Read more»

@Russ Lovely work! You obviously take great care of your work, and it shows. Also in this very nice thread, a great  and extensive build report.
Thanks for that

@russ  My home is in Polmont but I’m not really there much at this time of the year, I spend most of my time over in Argyll at my caravan, but I’m sure we could catch up sometime when we’re…   Read more»

Cheers @robin. It has been an epic journey. You never know….. maybe, one day, I’ll bring it down to show you. 

That would be good, remind me where you are.

@russ an old open jam from way way back in my jam days with my mates.

Cheers @koendb. How’s your build coming on?

@russ wow nice work 😍 
It is starting to itch…

@russ lol

@russ I actually started this one while waiting on stuff arriving for the last one, got all the scarf joint done, trussrod in, fretboard slotted and glued on etc. I try to procrastinate but my brains an idiot 🤣

@russ Thank you! No need for more measurements or pictures, you explained the process very well. With the pictures you posted earlier it is clear how it works. The world is full of clever ideas. Why can’t I come up…   Read more»
