I am very happy i can tell you that i am probably going to follow a study course on instrument making. It is a 5 year course and i am very motivated to learn about different instruments. My plan is to...

@louis123 Congratulations Louis stay in touch and keep us all up to date with your future builds and studies.

UPDATE! Hi everyone, My guitar is playing great and my thesis is almost finished. I had to do a powerpoint presentation to my class and teacher dutch about the guitar i built. She told me that she h...

Today I started with removing the angle from the neck pocket. But I went in a bit too drastic and should have left just a bit of an angle in there. Oh well I will need to shim it now, before I can glu...

@jonhodgson thanks fer the tip...

@poco7 I shared this mostly because the type of finish (water based 2K) seems to be a new thing and is potentially interesting because normal 2K produces a very durable finish but is really nasty stuf...

@jonhodgson Good article. I'm quickly becoming aware that finishing well, will be one of the difficult tasks to do... thanks for sharing this <>< Pocoranch7

@russ Thanks, Brosky...I'm looking for a good used band saw locally, also, i'm going to have to find out how much the government[s] tariff and tax, etc is on having stuff mailed from Scotland to Orego...

I think @boo in particular might find this interesting, but I'm going to predict we can't get it on this side of the pond.

I'd probably try the @mattbeels approach. Should be cleaner than dissolving it and risking it spreading out over a wider area. Congrats @cheesewhisk, that looks like a nice neat build. 👍 W...

I felt a bit stupid asking but better to ask than to do it wrong and screw my neck blank up. It's *never* a stupid thing to stop and ask a question. And if you don't know the answer, there's no such...

This forum is great much better than all the other social media groups Why can I only press the "like" button once for that post?? It deserves more!

If you haven't already got one and you have some unwanted cash or a birthday coming up then you know what to do That Bagpress fretting jig is indeed a very useful thing. Have you seen the neck heel/...

They leave "steps" on the outside edges, which form parallel faces onto which you can place the clamps, which then don't slip when you tighten them. @tv101 That makes total sense! Why did I not think...

Looking good @koendb! How did you keep the cauls from slipping around on the body while gluing up? The way I've seen other people do that ... They glue the body pieces together *before* the final cut...

Hah, a little suspense is a good thing @koendb. The first two have different nut widths, 43 and 45mm. I was talking about the third one, it has something else going on... @mattbeels Looks like it has...

@steveadams Quarantine in the Algarve hmmmm doesn’t sound too difficult, probably warmer than here. You would have missed the hailstones last Sunday afternoon then.

@tv1 Close @poco7 ! This forum uses two names which - confusingly - can be different. For example, your username is pocoranch7. @pocoranch7 doesn’t work as a tag (you can see that in the post as t...

@tv1; thank you Brosky...[ or Sis?? ] I'm excited about this new adventure, and my wife is very supportive - she's always been " a musician's wife" i think she's already thinking of whom we'll give a ...
