I’ve made a bit more progress now, fixed the sloping truss rod channel by routing to the lowest depth and glueing in a strip to the base of the slot. Angled the headstock, thicknesses it and rough cut...

@jonhodgson thanks, I’ll have a look around the local glass suppliers and see what’s available. Scary sharp or similar is looking like the sensible way forward right now for what I need. Workshop Heav...

I've noticed that Axminster quite often have a deal on clamps @boo. I'll keep my eyes peeled for some more. @russ I wish I’d bought more now but now I know these are good, I’ll get more next time the...

Good use of your new half price clamps @russ Yep, I can’t fault them, I use them for everything now. Most of my old plastic clamps have broken, Aldi and Lidl. Cheap crappy clamps are definitely not a...

I had no idea it was such a manual process or that there were so many stages. But it did only take 2minutes ...

That fretboard is a nice piece of wood. I leave that unpainted. @tv101 Yeah, it’s a very nice piece of Ebony from Mark, I love the grain. Yep, it’s the only bit of the guitar that won’t have paint on...

The cap is about 7-8mm thick and the bodies supplied by Mark are 44mm. My question is, would the body and cap be too thick, should I (a) try to get a thinner body or (b) should I reduce the thickness ...

Great movie @Marcel - though I'm not sure that was actually in the movie? (And I'm referring to the original, not the pale remake).

Nice work - of course - Marcel. What that your design, or something your friend designed? Not had my 60th birthday yet ....

@marcel A very nice guitar indeed and well built too. I bet your friend is very happy with it, such a nice thing to do for someone.

@tejWorkshop heaven sell 10mm float glass for the scary sharp method. I'm happy to recommend them, everything they sell seems to be quality (they've taken quite a bit of my money). But saying that, I ...

and...... barring a couple of mistakes (which I think I've hidden) I have almost proved him right. You certainly proved him right, great guitar! I've made about 20 guitars and basses now, not one ...

That’s a pretty sweet gift for your friend @marcel, great job on the guitar!

This week my good friend Ab will celebrate his 67th birthday. That reminded me of making a guitar for his 60th birthday 7 years ago.

This has probably been posted here before but I don’t care. This is my favourite song right now. 🤘😁🤘🎸

My favourite song today;

@tej I found these diamond stones in my local diy shop a few years ago. They are ok for the price and I use them for all my chisel and plane sharpening, held in a vice, to set the micro bevel. Instead...
