Hey all, I was wondering if you could help me out. I just ordered a kit from here and it says if I'm shipping out of the UK (I am) to contact them. But their contact form keeps bouncing back saying, "...

Forgot to add a pic of the old broken neck Attachment : IMG_6367.jpeg

Latest project finished yesterday, metal body banjo with a completely broken neck. The only thing holding it together was the FB. Made a new neck and added rosewood binding to make it wider due to the...

Thanks Mark, that means a lot. The trouble is, all the effort in making the molds, templates, jigs and solera........all the fidling about trying to make the nut, saddle and bridge from scratch.... al...

Absolutely gorgeous - great plan! You'll probably find guitars much easier now after that - I did anyway. I found ukes to be a lesson in humility myself as they are much smaller and very much fiddlier...

This is my first ukelele - I made it from offcuts from a a hard flooring company near me and as such, was able to make a shed load of inexpensive mistakes in the course of my learning. I invested in ...

Thats the neck/body joint done, fretboard glued, the neck carved and dry fitted. Doesn't sound much when you say it quickly, but its certainly a challenge getting the neck/body joint without gaps, on...

Hi - I've just done some tests with pine. Firstly I used 18mm pine with a variety of settings, but it was having none of it. I then used 8mm pine which cut pretty well with the following settings: ...

More than 20 years ago I went to the Bailey workshop to build my first guitar. One evening Mark played a video of a guitar player I had never heard of, Tommy Emmanuel. I was blown away with it. Over t...

@musicjohnmcculloch-net It would be nice to have that Z-axis motor. It is fiddly to adjust the height manually. Please keep us posted on your progress with pine. 👍

That would work as well; though if you check out E80 cutting 16mm pine it suggests that pine would also be an option. I haven't tested with pine, I'll give it a go in the next couple of days.

Found another pair of clips. I played with Marcellino and Suzy for a couple of years in a trio. We tried to make a video of the song "A night like this", but it didn't work out at first. But eventua...

I've made my bridge now, that's a fun wee project in its own. Took me about 6 hours to do what @markbailey does in his 35 minute video, but just follow the instructions and it happens. Photos of its v...

Good afternoon, Here's a question that I am sure must also come up with 6 string pick ups. The bridge that I have ordered has 19mm string spacing ie 57mm in total but the pitch of the bridge pickup po...

I guess it also allows for a greater distance between the pick ups and I think with a longer neck it would make sense to go for a heavier body material just to maintain balance. I may go to 33.25" or ...

Now THAT is commitment! 🤣 🤣 Attachment : IMG_6695.JPG

Cruising the digital highway I found this clip of my band from 15 years ago.

And update - there's alot since the last update. Firstly I've installed some temporary electrics and pickups etc to test it out. Sounds good - there's some fret work and some other bits but it's play...

@russ Thanks Russ, I'll keep tbe binding option open. It would probably be less prone to damage with binding on it too.
