@nsj Yes indeedy. I just fancied doing a natural wood guitar with a lovely grain, instead of painting. I may finish it with clear coat though for maximum pop. I liked the look of this black limba, ord...

@boo black limba build?

@russ Thanks mate. Someone on Facebook just said, “Send us another picture in 12 months” 😂😂😂😂

Well the yew didn't work out, developed a hell of a back bow, broke the trussrod trying to straighten it lol. Attachment : 20231202_233225.jpg Attachment : 20231202_233451.jpg Anyway...

@swepri An interesting build, it must be great to have the right tool for absolutely everything. I liked his simple jig for making the kerf lining, I'll be copying that for my acoustic build.

@swepri I find him really annoying being so adept at doing this stuff like it's nothing 🤣

Pask Makes I really enjoy watching this man build stuff. He probably can make whatever he wants out of anything. I think this is the second guitar build he does, and it didn't even look hard. A real h...

@brie Thanks for that, I'll look into it. When I use my Windows laptop, it automatically shuts all tabs when I shut the machine down so I doubt it will be that. I do have a tab open on my phone always...

@boo I had a similar problem a while ago and couldn’t get signed in at all, Carol spoke to their IT person but no firm conclusion was found. Since then I have on occasion had a problem but have found ...

I've been having trouble signing in. For some reason the system kicked me out yesterday and I couldn't get back in due to a Google reCAPTCHA that isn't even there. Very strange. Anyway, I've managed t...

The X braces are glued on now, one at a time, I won't carve them yet, wait until I'm ready for assembly. The repaired split in the soundboard isn't quite invisible but it isn't obvious either, so I'll...

@peter-c-f I've got the last transverse brace glued across the break now and its looking okay. I'll get the X braces on tomorrow, that'll put some strength into it and I'll can breath again.

Aah, so THAT was that odd noice this morn' (thought it was a helicopter flying over). Hide glue should help give a strong bond and still have some flexibility for the vibrations of the board to work...

I've been gluing on grafts and braces and all been going well. I got to the point where I didn't have enough long braces so made another one. And then this morning, disaster, some you in Scotland migh...

My favourite song today, another Dutch band.

Last week I mentioned guitar player Rob Taekema. Here's my favourite song today, where he plays bass:

@brie Ive found it cleans easily with thinners but if the wood is not sealed it will get into the grain

I have only tried the Crimson Guitars stuff. Expensive little bottle, but does the job well. Probably the same ingredients anyway. I had problems with one guitar and shielding paint, where i painted t...
