Hi Guys I've replied to a post from TV101 but also thought I would do a new post too. Happy New Year to everyone. I hope last year was good for you all but being so busy with work last year was a down...

Hey up Brian, also North east Scotland here

@darrenking 🤣 🤣 🤣

@darrenking this is what I get when googling. "How do they make roasted maple wood? Roasted Maple (also known as Baked, Caramelized, or Torrified Maple) is maple that has been heat treated in a spe...

Happy new year all! Hi NSJ, embers will become very cold very quickly in a vacuum as there will be no oxygen to sustain combustion but I guess you are effectively talking about placing the evacuated ...

With that hammer, I’m not sure that you’d even need to cut slots!!

Looking forward to seeing what you build Brian. If you follow the course, you really can’t go too far wrong.👍 (Your chosen username will make it tricky for people to tag you in posts)

Hi Fellow builders, just signed up for a 1year membership yesterday and I'm getting used to navigating the site. Been dabbling with guitar builds for a few years now, kit guitars and rebuilds. Decided...

Can't say much to that post @darrenking 🙁 Good to see you posting, but not so good to read the post. I guess that many of us are getting to the age when parents are going to be leaving our lives, and ...

@robin Having seen various embarrassing photos in which something unintended for the photo is caught in a reflection from something in the photo - you had me worried for a second there 😆 It's ...

@tv101 Thats a good looking guitar. Is that just reflection I'm seeing on the pickups in the last photo or have have you got some strange wiring going on there?

!! IT LIVES !! Attachment : 20230104_101743sml.jpg Got into the workshop bright and early this morning to get some work done. Just the outer strings in place at the moment - wanted to give t...

The last words @steveadams were "watch this space". I've been watching now for 6mths. After a few weeks, I admit I got a little bored, so then I watched everything else on YouTube (in another window,...

The wiring is now done, the passed the screwdriver-tap-on-the-pickups test for the magnetics. First time! 👍 (That doesn't always happen!) Went to attach the neck so I could string it up ...
