@russ What wood will you use for the sound board and sides I've got the same mahogany for the sides and neck. Not got anything for the sound board yet, but I think it will be spruce.

ok

@bpower very cool. Looks like a nice back. Are you going to be putting the arm bevel in? That was my original plan, but I'm keeping my options open, time will tell. I can't remember if Mark did an...

@robin I don't think I seen Mark do an arm bevel. I do remember him talking about it briefly that's it. When I was looking I watched a few videos but I liked the way driftwood guitars did theirs the m...

@robin very cool. Looks like a nice back. Are you going to be putting the arm bevel in?

HHere's the original drawing, I've changed the shape of the cutaway slightly. I've left the cutaway off the back for now, I'm keeping my options open until I see how the side bending goes. Attach...

Back in the good old days of lockdown and live streams I had drawn an acoustic guitar. Two years later I've actually started to build it. Some time ago I cut some slices off a 6 inch square lump of ma...

@markbailey, @rocknroller912,@tv,@russ,@boo,@koendb The Resonator project is on hold for now...as is my electric guitar build...but, when i return to the Resonator project i hope to do a neck reset......

@clinton Nice!

I finally dismantled one of these barrels today. Hammer and bar did the trick, it was quite easy. I just knocked off the metal bands/hoops (don’t know the technical term) and the thing just fell apart...

I sanded the whole guitar back and applied more thinned down polyurethane, couple of coats. Now I'll wait a day or two and apply the microcrystaline wax then assemble. The first coats of poly helped f...

I've either clamped the body to my drill press table, did the 12mm hole then a bowl and dish to make a recess. The most recent I went straight in with a forstner bit in the hand drill to make the rece...

Wish I could be there myself. My arms aren’t up to the flight anymore though. 😂

@rathius Well, I'm glad that my idea was useful to someone. Have you made yours yet? It's been months since I last logged on here. I hope that large router bit didn't give you any trouble.

Due to some other obligations, I haven't made it as far as I'd like to by now. I did get the top jointed and glued, and lightly sanded, but not thicknessed to what I want it to be yet. I did get the b...

Well. I got my bridge holes all sorted, sanded the body to 320 and now put the first coat of finish on the top, amber tinted polyurethane thinned down. Next I'll do the whole thing with just the poly,...

@clinton Thanks this is useful, I thought that shaping the veneer before gluing would be needed and didn’t think of a heat gun. @jamesbisset looks like this method works

@rocknroller912 best solution I feel would be a vacuum press for sure. In the past and I did it only once and came out satisfactory. With more thought if I should do it again might work really well. ...
