It depends on your skillsets and overall interests For me Im a gadget geek working in IT incl programming for past 25years so the CNC thing, although I know very little, appeals to that ‘geekiness’ iv...

For myself, working from my shed and garden and making one guitar per year, it seems overkill to invest in a CNC machine. However, if I ran a small business like Mark does, I wouldn't think twice abou...

Do you mean something like this? For less than £500 it looks pretty well made. I might put a call into Vectric and ask if they have post processors that will work with any of these little machines as...

Hi Mark If you are only going to use it most for cutting patterns I would think that it is going to be difficult to justify the costs and space it takes to have in house compared with simply subbing t...

Excellent ! For me it is not about making guitars faster - but better - or at least more accurately... Also I think I would use mine mostly for patterns not actual guitars - making templates is fun th...

Good morning, Relax! I think that we are a very long way from being able to 3D print an acceptable replica of a guitar by pressing a single button so chisels, planes and plasters are going to feature ...

My work place has become electronic, so now all health records are on computer and the whole hospital is madder- and unsafer- than ever. People have lost all their organisation skills and communicatio...

Now, this is something I know nothing about but I have taken an interest in the concept. Sometimes I think it could be amazing to have a machine that will do all the hard work accurately and automatic...

As we are now 'living in the future' it seems crazy not to at least explore the world of CNC for the home guitar builder It is a subject I am becoming more interested in as time goes on...with the lat...

@rocknroller912 Thanks. Of course it will play well, what could possibly go wrong now!

@tej It looks good in the photos I hope it plays well

Construction time 😀 Used some shielding paint from Crimson which went on a treat. Tuning pegs mounted, everything wired up and mounted. Just need to align the pickups and get it set up now &#x...

@poco7 Well it looks like you are having fun and that pleases me. Just remember to take you time and enjoy it. It’s not a race and you will have a greater understanding of what you are doing if you re...

Welcome Pete, strongly suggest you marry your girlfriend, if you lock that in now before you fill the walls with guitars it’s more likely she’ll stay 😉😋 Looking forward to seeing your ...

@poco7 It all starts with a good plan 🙂 Have fun with your build. I like that idea of a tool library, We do have a few places that let you use tools , such as community workshops, but I haven't heard ...

@wayne_f, @koendb, @robin, @boo, @Bpower Well, I'm enjoying the fact that you are working ahead of me..lol, it gives me some extra confidence to know that as we go, we hit little hiccups - like fillin...

Thats great work @wayne_f Not sure what is the hardest part - but there is so much going on with the neck, with sizing and shaping and its the part of the guitar that you touch the most while playing...

@koendb. Nice. A side bender is on my short list of the next tool I want to buy. I have my "heat gun in a pipe" and it works but it would be nice to use something that doesn't heat up the belly when i...

Later today, I should receive the honing guide and diamond sharpening stone, but in the meantime BPost delivered this : Attachment : IMG_20211015_143137145.jpg Unfortunately , it has the wrong...

Hi thanks. Yes it’s very frustrating
