Next getting it to the right height and curving over the top..... Attachment : PXL_20230607_102425587.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230607_105056469.jpg 🙂🙏🎶🎸

Almost there.... just making a nut and saddle..... first get the blank to roughly the size and squared... Attachment : PXL_20230607_120724301.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230607_085252111.jpg ...

Then a bit of final sanding. Attachment : PXL_20230602_082938592.jpg ....and adding some finishing oil. Attachment : PXL_20230607_145712143.jpg 🙂🙏🎶🎸

Not a bit of fret leveling and crowning Attachment : PXL_20230531_124419682.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230601_100403023.jpg Then a wee bit of polishing up. Attachment : PXL_20230601_1213...

@markbailey @tv101 @jamesbisset What's it like having the two of them in the same room? 🤣.....A lot of shenanigans I imagine.....🤣 Good to see you all working away. 🎸🙂...

Forgot to say that I hammered in a few frets before I glued on the bridge. Attachment : PXL_20230519_133334567.jpg And beveled the edges. Attachment : PXL_20230519_144658653.jpg Ἳ...

Then glued it on. Use two 4mm drill bits to locate it in place then clamp it on using the three wee cauls on top and the bridge plate caul inside. Attachment : PXL_20230525_102634606.jpg At...

Once the position of the bridge is marked out I drilled two 4mm holes through the soundboard where the holes for the E strings will go. Attachment : PXL_20230525_084656972.jpg Attachment : ...

Cheers @boo. I did wonder whether I'd ever get there. Still haven't got round to my bandsman yet. This summer has been a bit full on with other stuff. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Then started to carve it in to shape. Attachment : PXL_20230517_142555996.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230517_144534700.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230517_144649317.jpg Attachment : PXL_...

Actually, here are the pictures of the saddle that I made before I set up the location. First I squared up the bridge blank. Attachment : PXL_20220606_122441486.jpg Then I put in the saddle sl...

Next I set the bridge location. Attachment : PXL_20230525_085026857.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230525_084955979.jpg To do this you measure your scale length plus 2mm to the inside of the fro...

Next I checked the string action. I made two small guages to replicate the height that the strings will sit above the fretboard. One to sit at the nut position of 2mm thick and one to sit at the 12th ...

Then I put a 16" radius on it. Same technique as the leveling beam but with a radius block. Attachment : PXL_20230505_141852708.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230505_140727453.jpg 🎸...

Next I went on to leveling the fretboard. Attachment : PXL_20230510_130754494.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230510_125057584.jpg Just covered it in chalk and kept going with the sanding beam un...

@dhawkes1gmail-com Nice work Dan. Onwards and upwards now. Is the logo an inlay or a decal? 🎸🙂🎶🙏

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. 🤣 🎸🎶🙏🙂
