Fretboard levelled and dots added now. I went to get my dots out of my bag of bits for this build, and realised that I hadn't bought any. So I cut some 6mm plugs from a piece of maple an used that. Al...

@markbailey thanks mark! I’m really enjoying your academy so far!

Nice work @rocknroller912. I think it's harder doing repairs than building from scratch so very well done with that one. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Forgot to add a pic of the old broken neck Attachment : IMG_6367.jpeg

Latest project finished yesterday, metal body banjo with a completely broken neck. The only thing holding it together was the FB. Made a new neck and added rosewood binding to make it wider due to the...

@robin Well done Robin it looks good and is certainly challenging

Hey @somethingnicer - THANKS for ordering the kit!! Carol is packing your parts - she will message you with an update today . Sorry about the contact form - we have contacted the webguys . Can you se...

@robin thanks!

Try emailing carol@baileyguitars.co.uk and I'm sure that she'll get back to you.

Hey all, I was wondering if you could help me out. I just ordered a kit from here and it says if I'm shipping out of the UK (I am) to contact them. But their contact form keeps bouncing back saying, "...

Cheers @robin! Maybe I'll look into bending the sides myself, I think a mate has a bending iron and his badly can I need up making the moulds?!😅 No shame in getting a pre made fretboard!

@liebe Thanks Dan I didn't buy the kit from the shop, but it would've been an awful lot easier if I did. I already had a lump of mahogany that most of it was cut from. I did buy the pre slotted fretbo...

@robin looks excellent! Did you buy the acoustic build kit available in the shop? I'm thinking about pulling the plug on it, but would have to buy the sides bent and I'm not sure how long they'd keep ...

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Nice work James. I fancy having a wee go at a uke one day. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Thanks Mark, that means a lot. The trouble is, all the effort in making the molds, templates, jigs and solera........all the fidling about trying to make the nut, saddle and bridge from scratch.... al...

Absolutely gorgeous - great plan! You'll probably find guitars much easier now after that - I did anyway. I found ukes to be a lesson in humility myself as they are much smaller and very much fiddlier...

This is my first ukelele - I made it from offcuts from a a hard flooring company near me and as such, was able to make a shed load of inexpensive mistakes in the course of my learning. I invested in ...

That's the hard bit done now @robin. The end is in sight. Nicely done. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Thats the neck/body joint done, fretboard glued, the neck carved and dry fitted. Doesn't sound much when you say it quickly, but its certainly a challenge getting the neck/body joint without gaps, on...

@somethingnicer I built my first electric using scrap wood and second hand parts from ebay to see if I had the skills. For my second build I bought the kit from @markbailey, absolutely every part you...
