@Wayne_F Yikes! That must have been a lot of work to cut through. I'm envious of your 6" blank haha It wasn't as hard work as it looks, I had cut 2" deep from each side with a circular saw before ha...

@poco7 That's awesome that you found someone not too far who could cut you a blank that's more than big enough. The one I ordered was advertised as 4X4 but it's actually 4-1/16 thick X 3-7/8 wide. Oh ...

@jamesonguitar I’m glad you are dedicated to having a go and you will definitely learn a lot and have fun doing it. It’s good to see you documenting your guitar build but I must just say something, a...

Cheers, much appreciated! i actually had made an error that i didn’t get on camera so didn’t bother explaining . In charging ahead i had forgotten you have to keep the heel block from the neck blank...

@jamesonguitar I think you’re doing ok so far and you’ve made a good video.

Thanks Bpower. I quite enjoyed the meditative part of it really. But it would probably be a waste of time to do it very often! in answer to both of you about hand planes… i have bought two, but they a...

Welcome @jamesonguitar. Cool video. I agree with @robin. You have a lot more patience than I do. I would not have made it through that much sanding. :). Great perseverance. I was watching and think......
