Hi @tv101 Another way to recycle them is to give them to someone that could use them rather than demolishing them.😱 There's an organisation in Glasgow that gives free lessons and instruments ...

Beautiful piece of wood there, and the finishing certainly does it justice. And great to see an "F-hole" that doesn't look like it's come from an seventeenth century violin 😉 (I much prefer...

@swepri nice work man! I like it.

Nice work @swepri. All these headaches are great learning experiences........ for you and us. Thanks for making the mistake first. 😂 🙏🎸🙂🎶

Wow that wood grain is super beautiful! How does it sound in comparison with your solid body guitar? 😎 Cool shape on the body and headstock!

@swerpi That curly birch looks fantastic.

@swepri. those look great. That figure looks amazing. Really making me want to try my hand at an electric. 🙂

"masking tape and supeglue" ???? What trickery is this? 😉

Attachment : FFABA879-F02E-4A3D-9480-AE0836ABCDDB.jpeg Build #2 is my 3rd design and a double-cut. The shape was inspired by the pick guard on a 355. The odd looking smile at the bottom is a carve...

@swepri That is some serious engineering ! I am impressed.

wow! How in the hell do you start making that? Holy molly awesomeness!

WOW!!

Spent some more time in the finishing chamber today. Rubbed back the top with some 0000 wire wool and then added a very thin coat of Liberon. Left that to dry for a few hours, and then out came the w...

Posted by: @tv101 So, next update probably in a couple of hours. I actually waited the full 3-4 hours! Here we are with coat #2 applied. It's starting to build up a nice sheen, though you can't re...
