@nsj Another great guitar! It's always a great feeling trying a new build out.

Well that's that one sorted, plays nice, sounds great. Attachment : 20230415_130637.jpg Final build vid is up on youtube if anyone wants to hear how it sounds and get a better look.

@boo You could hollow it out a bit then add some sort of top. Between gym sessions of course lol

@nsj Who do you think I am, Arnold Schwarzenegger? 😂 I’ll have to do a bit of weight training before I attempt to carve that? I may use the oak barrel when I get it dry and flat enough. It wil...

Perfect to stick oak on and carve! 🤣

@robin I put mine in for crunchy stuff and take them out for chocolate, ice cream etc 🤣

@nsj To be honest, I've not got many of my own left, I've got a mouth full of caps, crowns and bridges. I went through the covid shut down with a front tooth snapped off at the gum, then they pulled ...

@robin That’s pretty good service, I’m glad you got it sorted out that quickly. Can’t get in at Tarbert, Lochgilphead is the nearest practice we can get treated at right now. The whole dental service...

@robin should've got him to take them all out! I had endless grief from mine since I was 5 or so lol

@boo I couldn't believe how painful it was, but I got a really quick response from NHS24. I phoned them at 10:30 on Easter Monday, 4 hours later the dentist at Lochgilphead hospital had removed tooth...

@robin Dental abscesses are terrible, I don’t know how you even made it into your workshop. I’ve got an appointment in Lochgilphead next month, think I might need root canal work, again.

I just couldn’t resist. I got a few off-cuts of wooden, laminated worktop off my brother-in-law and I just had to make a body blank (I just needed a fix 😬). It’s thin stuff for a worktop (abou...

@nsj Yeah, it’s always a bit of a nerve wracking moment. Looking good. 👍

This part time guitar building just doesn't work. I'm making templates to route my side bending mold and totally forgot that I'd changed the radius of the cutaway. So glued bits back into the template...

Always a relief when it all lines up Attachment : 20230412_022841.jpg

Bunch of thin coats of thinned down oil based polyurethane with sanding between various coats then onto microcystalline wax. I use a foam pad on the drill to buff. Attachment : 20230411_154046.j...

I was passing by, having not been here for a while, and just had to check out all the builds (especially acoustics). I must admit that I was gobsmacked (really impressed) by your guitar. You've done a...

@jamesbisset I once removed a bridge that was glued with Titebond type glue from a factory guitar using a domestic iron and some brown paper. Heat does soften the glue but you have to be patient and ...

@jamesbisset if a replacement fretboard isn't a problem then yeh, I'd go with getting it off even if it got ruined. With factory fretboards I've managed to remove a couple but titebond seems proper ...

The problem is not the images that disappear when you click on them , but the series like ‘click all traffic light tiles’ or similar ones for any type of object . They never work
