Lovin' the wee tool chest @koendb. 🙂🙏🎶🎸

Thanks @koendb. I think I could say the same about your approach to your builds. I think you're attention to detail is a bit more advanced than mine....... but hope to get there one day. 🎸&#x...

We've had many a holiday over on the West @robin......on the Kyle and Kintyre, Bute, Arran.....even the summer isle before it was all poshed up.......and around Ardnamurchin. 🙂🙏dz...

Yeah @boo. I find everyone else needs me to do something during my precious guitar building time. 🤣 🎸🎶🙏🙂

I'm up in Strathearn @robin. I left Falkirk many moons ago and went to the Big Smoke. Came up here about 26 years ago. Still come down for the football and my oldest son has moved to live in Falkirk n...

Cheers @robin. It has been an epic journey. You never know..... maybe, one day, I'll bring it down to show you. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Once the fretboard is in the right position it's held in place with two locating pins. Attachment : PXL_20230503_142937626.jpg A little bit of sanding to the soundboard between the soundhole a...

Then I glued it in. Attachment : PXL_20230421_143102098.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230421_142310718.jpg 🙂🙏🎶🎸

It's almost impossible to get it right first time so a few wee adjustments by gluing on some veneers. Attachment : PXL_20230420_141816698.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230420_105917180.jpg

Now a bit of refinement of the dovetail joint to get an accurate fit. First I created a small chamfer along the edges. Attachment : PXL_20230331_110754914.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230331_1109...
