@robin Link works - guitar sounds great! Awesome job -thanks for posting!

@boo Are you moving to another area or same region? We're looking at Dumbarton or near there, we need to be closer to our granddaughter. The tough bit is clearing out 35 years of accumulated junk ...

@robin Yep I remembered after I posted that so I edited my comment 🙂 Sorry my bad memory...

@robin Oh no! You are moving house? 😱 I know all the ins and outs of that. 😂 Are you moving to another area or same region?

Yes! Now it works. The guitar sounds very good and look great. Congrats again!

@swepri I've changed that now so anyone with the link should see it, if you'd like to try again.

@robin Yeah, I think you are right on all accounts there. I think the little metal clamp will do me for now but WHEN I get around to a proper acoustic build, I will definitely invest in the long reach...

@boo I think I know the answer Yes, you know the answer, take off and do it properly. I looked at that bridge clamp before I glued mine on, it would be cheaper than buying three long clamps. But, w...

Well, it turns out that what started out as a few cosmetic fixes needed to get this thing up and running, has snowballed into much more. First I ended up stripping the paint off the fretboard and poli...

I think you have to make it public in Google Drive, somehow.

@markbailey Maybe this link to my video will work, and I'll repeat, I'm not a player, I just play enough amuse myself. You did meet me in person briefly a few years ago, I came down to collect an el...

Great job @Robin - thanks for your kind words and for sharing the pics for us all to admire. Maybe you can upload the vid to youtube or elsewhere and just drop the link here so we can watch? Anyhow.. ...

Thanks @boo , my mrs wasn't at all surprised when when I started talking about the next one. However, we're going to move house this year so I've promised no more guitars until we've moved.

@robin That looks marvellous. Great effort Robin, you must be proud of yourself, well done. I love an acoustic with a cutaway. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience, that's what it's all about.

@russ Thanks Russ, it was certainly a challenge and won't claim to have mastered it, but I have learned a lot.

@nsj That’s pretty much what I was thinking, that insulation would be the key. We’ll stick with our oil fired CH for the present but would seriously think about making the change rather than getting a...

@brie ours is an ancient old stone cottage too, the biggest thing to cost is insulation. An air source pump can heat any building but the better the insulation the more efficient it is.

@nsj Interesting to hear how the heat pump/solar panels have reduced your heating costs. A friend of ours is going to have the survey done to see if he qualifies to have the work done and we were thin...

I actually tried that the first month. I can reach maybe 40% of the panels with a 4m pole and it works with dry powdery snow. But now we have a centimeter of ice on the panels, and snow on top of that...

@swepri get a brush on an extending pole lol
