@robin Feel good wood for some, I have a local friend too that's had a pile of the brazillian mahogany and sapele around his workshop for years, long before all the cites stuff came along. For spalted...

@nsj I see you've found how to add the photos then. A lot of nice work there, where are you buying all that lovely wood?

Started at the beginning of lockdown and got carried away lol. For the first three builds I used already made necks. I've gone back to my first couple of builds and modified them too. thinned the neck...

Welcome to this awesome group....

@robin I managed to upload media then insert from there, put a thread in the electric guitar showcase area I think, that's where I was aiming anyway lol

@nsj I'm using an android phone, there's a paper clip symbol labelled Attach Files just below the text box, clicking that pops up another window where I select "my files" where I can find my photos.

Glad that you are ok! Good with a reminder. I had no idea that dust from woodworking could be dangerous until last year when I started doing some stuff myself and started watching videos about woodwor...

@rathius Oh man, that sounds really bad. Yep, health and safety should always come first, you got to wear a mask for almost everything when guitar building or any woodworking. I leave mine on all day,...

It's about time to shape and slot a new nut for the extremely slow build. Clamping the thing when shaping, marking and so on has been frustrating. So, I finally made a little holder to make that fiddl...
