One warning with oil finishes is to be careful with your application cloth/paper disposal. The curing is pretty exothermal and apparently, it's not unknown for things to catch fire if you just lob the...

My favourite song today:

I’ve been searching my scrap pile for bits to make the body on my practice build and came up with these. Philippine Mahogany on the outside and an old bit of Mahogany window frame in the middle, all p...

I think either way would be fine. The wood glue does clean up easily and you still need to do the job of cleaning/scraping the fret board before it is all done anyway so I dont think glue residue woul...

@tej I suspect it's a combination of1) fretboards are usually a tight grained wood 2) He wipes it off straight away Obviously try it for yourself on a piece of scrap first if you can, but I don't thin...

@jonhodgson that makes sense, where I didn’t screw it up the superglue has worked perfectly and I would tempted to go the same route again but I seing whips to be more precise than how I did it. I wat...

Wood glue is much easier to cleanup than superglue, so long as you do it as you're going along, a damp rag will do it. That's why Ben Crowe has abandoned the superglue approach, I've seen him do both ...

@markbailey Brilliant. Thanks for the reassurance Mark. 😀 Super usefull information. I feel much more confident now Huge thanks

@blake looking good, great job!!

@louis123 Congratulations a great project, I hope it plays as good as it looks.

Congrats @louis123!

UPDATE i had my presentation today. Everything went great, they were really impressed by my build and drawing. A fellow student is a photographer and took a picture of me at the showcase of my build. ...

Side dots all done, 1.5mmx1.5mm MOP, most awkward part of the build yet. I’ve drilled one of the holes for the 24th marker out of line, thought it was just a little out when I did the hole but with th...
