@nsj I saw your post on Instagram and hoped you'd share more photos here. It's a great job! I've only made double cutaways up to now, but fancy a pop at a single cut. In your experience is there anyt...

Nice work Neil, you’re a regular guitar making machine!!🤣🤣 Keep up the good work👍😃🎸

Here in the U.S. it’s commonly found in auto parts stores like Advance Auto, Auto Zone, etc. It is acrylic lacquer. Be careful if you warm the can, even in warm water. The tip will leak around the pin...

And here’s more pics Attachment : IMG_1664.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1597.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1602.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1745.jpeg Attachment : IMG_1747.jpeg Atta...

So thought I should update this and show y’all the pics I’ve taken since I began this build. The guy will be picking it up on July 4th around Noon EDT. Afterwards he will draw the winner for this year...

@nsj Cheers buddy. Sounds like I need to keep the chap with the drum sander sweet😅

@liebe Radian tools sell a planer bit to use with a router sled, it's excellent. Just take small bites. A thickness planer or planer table is a lot more likely to take chips out of figured wood. As...

Thought I'd started a thread on this one but can't find it so maybe not lol. Anyway, latest build is now done. Brazillian mahogany with ash, ebony board and gotoh hardware. Went with ivory cream bin...

I have several bookmatched veneer that were already glued together when I bought them. I’ve used some on the flat top electrics I’ve built but now I’m ready to give a guitar a carved top similar to a ...

Hey @nsj Sounds like a good plan, thanks. I had thought about a router sled, but was worried about chip out on figured woods. Following up with the planner and then the plane to get it really flat ma...

@liebe make yourself a cheap router sled, I recently did that with a piece of contiboard and a couple of rails. Great for getting things straight. Then I'll stick it through my thickness planer to get...

Thanks @russ !

Cheers @russ, that's good to hear. I should have specified I'm taking about making electrics. So I'm thinking about carve or drop tops on the bodies, bit also the neck blanks and gluing the fretboard...

So I finally have a video of my renaissance guitar been played!

Hey @russ, thanks for the reply and suggestions. Do you have any experience of these machines? I can use a plane to a degree, but my skills are limited for sure and practice can only make that better....

And this is why I feel justified in calling my guitar the Bisset Bodge! Awesome work, Koen!

Hey folks, looking for a bit of advice. Up to now I've either bought or paid for my timber to be planed flat, whether it be neck & body blanks, but also tops for gluing into the body. I'd like to...

@koendb That is impressive work, I can imagine how frustrating it must be getting all those curved edges to match up.

@koendb This is wonderful, I’m in awe of your work. Keep going, I can’t wait to see how you progress further with this.

Hi all, sorry, I have been inactive on the forum for quite a while now. Mainly because of time issues , too many things to do and new stuff to discover. My second year in lute building class has finis...
