So jealous @boo. Send us a wee demo. Good to hear from you. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@brie Welcome Brian, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Building guitars from scratch will increase your addiction, be careful it doesn’t bankrupt you. 😆 Seriously though, just h...

Hey up Brian, also North east Scotland here

@brie Welcome Brian. You've got a wee while until it gets warm up in these parts so you can watch through all mark's videos and then watch them all again. It's a good habit to get into anyway. Enjoy t...

Looking forward to seeing what you build Brian. If you follow the course, you really can’t go too far wrong.👍 (Your chosen username will make it tricky for people to tag you in posts)

Hi Fellow builders, just signed up for a 1year membership yesterday and I'm getting used to navigating the site. Been dabbling with guitar builds for a few years now, kit guitars and rebuilds. Decided...

Never built a guitar before but I'm planning on "modifying" some old cheap guitars ...

Though that failure might have been due to the extra clamping pressure, rather than the normal stresses that a finished body would have to withstand?

@wolframmalukker The consensus may have been 10mm a few days ago, I reduced my current build to 7mm yesterday, it still looks thick enough though, thats in mahogany. I was wrong, best stick with yo...

More work on this today. (And the Uke!) I sanded the first 6 coats of clear coat on the Ukulele with some 800 grit, making sure NOT to cut through, and after a wash and tack-cloth, I shot another coat...

Attachment : IMG_8912.JPG Hmmm... let’s see... Attachment : IMG_8913.JPG Nope. Well, that’s a little disappointing!

That's *more* disappointing than the split & bubbled veneers. 🙁 Are you sure you're actually in the right workshop?

@tv101 totaly! Watching other people on youtube and getting inspiration to improve my results!

I was just wondering what you all use to sand your work. What sander and sand paper do you use? I’m not sure we have ever done any kind of comparison and rating of tools, materials and sundries before...

@rocknroller912 The adventure with the cutaway side suggests that the next stage in trying to force sawn veneer into a compound curve, without splitting along the grain, is gong to be using water in s...

That sounds like a good couple of hours work ... but worth it for all the extra enjoyment you get from a much easier-playing guitar.

Right, decided to get on with the levelling, crowning and polishing of the frets before attaching the wings, loads easier. Levelled and crowned Attachment : 20230215_193433.jpg Then onto po...

Today was good, got the fret markers done, then frets in and finally side dots. The new tools are helping a lot, hardly any levelling required after fretting due to getting everything so straight and ...

Trying out something different for fret markers and side dots, although I'll need a 3/32 dril bit for the side dots as they're imperial. Just used a 2.5mm to try out. Attachment : 20230213_16225...

@swepri oh god yeh, I know exactly what you mean! Lol I find my big stanley no 7 really haleps with that, I find that difficult with smaller planes unless it's a big flat board. Like a guitar top, I...
