Hi all, I've bitten the bullet and signed up for the fantastic acoustic guitar making course here! I am a complete novice with any sort of woodworking... so this may end up being a little hard than ...

Here are a few more progression pictures of my wifes guitar. I think next time I'm going to handle the arm bevel a little differently but, overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Not perfect by any means ...

My next handmade tool is not as extravagant as the sander but it works. I had some old roller skates in the shed. I took the bearings out of them and make a fretwire bending tool. Not fancy but it wor...

Yikes! that's a lot of work, @Wayne_F on yer shoulder, no doubt. I was fortunate to find a couple of guitar builders whom sent me a couple of neck blanks at a fantastic price...2 3/8" x 4 1/4" Quart...

@Wayne_F Then I'll throw a new blade on there and split the blank. Wish me luck just in case. You don't neex any luck, you've got all you need there, I'm envious of your bandsaw. Mine can only cut a...

As Ajax will today play their first match in this year's Champions League this is my favourite song today: Sporting Clube de Portugal - Ajax: 1-5

That is really awesome

Brilliant!

Looking great @markbailey I miss that workshop view, the live streams were lockdown therapy. I hope you're doing ok, best to Carol.

@robin Yep, that's the plan. Yesterday I also corrected the guide fence on my band saw by shimming one edge of the locking bar with some masking tape. I'll do a test cut on some scrap to make sure it'...

As Ajax will today play their first match in this year's Champions League this is my favourite song today: So, what has this song to do with Ajax? Well, for years now it's the anthem of Ajax FC.

Awesome @Clinton! I couldnt agree more with the others! Sounds great! Looks great! Played great! Now I want to build an uke too!

One thing about the neck is that the transition up to the headstock sort of begins between the 1st and 2nd frets. I know 1st fret is the standard but it feels quite comfy in my hands as is. Has anyone...

Just need to tidy up that heel transition with the surform and use progressively finer grits all over. One thing about the neck is that the transition up to the headstock sort of begins between the 1s...

@russ Your certainly my goto logo man All l can do is black inkjet waterslide and that took a lot of trial and error, I've got enough for my next four builds though. I tried colour too, but it was t...

Couldn't resist a little trial fit of the tuners @robin Looking good Robin, I’ve done the same thing with a truss rod cover before. Every day is a school day eh? 😁👍

Couldn't resist a little trial fit of the tuners. I need to build up more lacquer though, I can still see and feel the edges of the logos. However, I totally forgot about the nut when I was positioni...
