@robin Yep I remembered after I posted that so I edited my comment 🙂 Sorry my bad memory...

@robin Oh no! You are moving house? 😱 I know all the ins and outs of that. 😂 Are you moving to another area or same region?

@swepri I've changed that now so anyone with the link should see it, if you'd like to try again.

Hi @boo. I haven't used this clamp but I've seen someone else use it and it seemed perfect for the job. It's better than using any other clamping technique, I think. 🙂🎶🎸Ƕ...

@robin Yeah, I think you are right on all accounts there. I think the little metal clamp will do me for now but WHEN I get around to a proper acoustic build, I will definitely invest in the long reach...

@boo I think I know the answer Yes, you know the answer, take off and do it properly. I looked at that bridge clamp before I glued mine on, it would be cheaper than buying three long clamps. But, w...

@markbailey Maybe this link to my video will work, and I'll repeat, I'm not a player, I just play enough amuse myself. You did meet me in person briefly a few years ago, I came down to collect an el...

Great job @Robin - thanks for your kind words and for sharing the pics for us all to admire. Maybe you can upload the vid to youtube or elsewhere and just drop the link here so we can watch? Anyhow.. ...

Thanks @boo , my mrs wasn't at all surprised when when I started talking about the next one. However, we're going to move house this year so I've promised no more guitars until we've moved.

Well, it turns out that what started out as a few cosmetic fixes needed to get this thing up and running, has snowballed into much more. First I ended up stripping the paint off the fretboard and poli...

@robin That looks marvellous. Great effort Robin, you must be proud of yourself, well done. I love an acoustic with a cutaway. I'm glad you enjoyed the experience, that's what it's all about.

@russ Thanks Russ, it was certainly a challenge and won't claim to have mastered it, but I have learned a lot.

Really nice work there @robin. A cutaway for your first acoustic guitar build is a big challenge that you have really mastered. Excellent job well done. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@robin Lovely guitar Robin, that finish gives a nice sheen and brings out the grain. Congratulations on a fine piece of work👍😃🎸

As promised here's some more photos now that its finished (apart from the strings needing trimmed) I'm absolutely delighted with it. Huge thanks to @markbailey for the inspiration and for passing on t...

@brie Thanks Brian, I'll post more photos after I've set the action and polished it up.

@robin Looks great Robin, well done!!👍😃 More photos please, I’d like to see how that finish looks, I’m a nosey beggar🤣🤣👍😃🎸

Thanks @swepri , its not perfect but with what I've learned during this build and the documentation to remind me where it went wrong, my next one will be closer to perfect.

Frets levelled and crowned and strings on. Spent some time adjusting the saddle height, but still need to bring the nut down a bit now, and maybe slacken the truss rod, there's a bit of buzz playing u...

Cheers @robin. I really must have a go at trying to make some. 🙂🎶🎸🙏
