Today was cavity cover, arm and belly carves and drilled all the holes Attachment : 1000028914-01.jpeg Attachment : 20231130_161251.jpg Attachment : 20231130_171313.jpg

@robin he got the idea from Charvel. Doing the angled area was fine, making the plate fit was fine, making actual socket fit with a lead plugged in was less fine! Lol

@nsj I like the jack socket set into the angled face like that. I was going to do it on my first build, I drew it out, but then chickened out.

Litle update, got the pickup cavities done and the control panel. Recessed for the nobs because it'll have a couple of push push pots and they need room to go down to pop up, this means I can have the...

My favourite song today from the Dutch band Shocking Blue. They had a world wide hit with the song 'Venus", but had many more hits over here. This is one of those hits.

@rocknroller912 Glad to see you are doing an acoustic Robin, it’s looking good so far. Its been a long term project but I've managed to spend some time on it lately. Its a whole different game fro...

Attachment : IMG_6237.jpeg Meant to post this a while ago and forgot. Readily available in the U.K. cost £21 for 500ml and works well. I tried it on a recent Telecaster style build lining all the ...

Glad to see you are doing an acoustic Robin, it’s looking good so far.

Routed the groove for the rossette, lovely clean crisp edges and 2mm deep. Dry fitted the mahogany and maple inlays, all fitted nicely. Then the messy business of gluing it in, making sure all the fac...

@darrenking Thanks for the link Darren. Good to hear from you again. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Wealden Tool Co. cutters are significantly cheaper than Trend and, IMHO, are of a higher quality. I use them with manual routing and their solid TC spirals are the standard on my CNC router.>

Very neat practice run @robin. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

I had a practice shot at a the rosette today, turned out not too bad. I bought a circle cutting guide for my dremel, it works quite well but the depth and radius adjustment is quite basic and needs a ...

@russ Thansks Russ, the molds were probably harder to make than bending the sides. I got a bit of a fright when I realised that cutaway on the mold is a slightly different shape on my original drawin...

Yeah, it's the wee intro to your YouTube videos that I was enjoying. Great wee riff that you've created there. 👍 🎸🙏🎶🙂

@russ Intro is me and the track with the bass update is me, sure I said in the bass vid lol. I just use a drum loop but all the guitar stuff is me.

@nsj Hi Neil, Where is the guitar riff taken from on your wee YouTube videos? 🙏🙂🎸🎶

I couldn't agree more @nsj. They're the best I've come across. 🎶🎸🙂🙏

A bit of bishing bashing and boshing today, got the bridge sorted, alignment is spont on too which is always a relief. Of course I got the laser out and done the logo. Attachment : VideoCapture_...

@nsj cheers bud. This has all been really helpful. Every build I learn a little bit more as something throws my initial plan out the window!
