Ouch. 😮 Ideas anyone? I suspect this probably goes in the 'you can take it off but you can't put it back on again' category... This is why I always highly recommend following along with the co...

So I am part way through my first build. I have completed the neck and designed and rough shaped the body, but having put the two together for the first time, I have realised the body shape is now out...

Posted by: @tej Didn’t use power tools, just not used to hard woods and used an incompetently small pilot, clearly not the strongest of screws either mind 🙂 @tej My rule of thumb: whatever s...

Awesome @Clinton! I couldnt agree more with the others! Sounds great! Looks great! Played great! Now I want to build an uke too!

Very nice @clinton. Sounds great. Looks great. 🙏🎶🎸🙂

@clinton Great job

Sounding and looking great @clinton . And I can view your video okay now.

@rocknroller912 thought you had fallen off the planet I did actually and man was it tough getting back on…

@mattbeels You’ve been very quiet recently thought you had fallen off the planet

@rocknroller912 Trust you to lower the tone of the conversation Baaaaaahahahahahahaha!!!

Simple little amp - I really only made it to practice my soldering skills. Mini-toggle is a grit-switch (more, or less), following by tone, gain and volume. Drives pretty much any speaker. Sounds p...

@tej Looks like you’ve had a life time supply of bad luck all in one build. This should mean that your next ones will go with no problems.

@tej Good job I’m glad that it worked for you. Being able to fix mistakes as they happen gives a lot more confidence when building. I always do a dry run fitting parts before any finishing to avoid th...

@tej Crystalac Brite Tone I think you are looking for. I have still yet to try it also.

Some more fancy back masking and it’s now ready for primer, again! Attachment : 1A592D98-FE62-499F-A348-EB693600061E.jpeg Attachment : 67D90A9A-7862-43B9-AD14-BD588BC8E6AF.jpeg Attac...

I sanded it back today and some spots needed some more filler, just a very thin skim. When this is dry I’ll sand it flat and then mask up for more primer. Attachment : 93690198-3021-4C88-962A-F69...

is it the case you need to build it up slower leaving more drying time? @tej It would probably sink anyway, however I applied it. It’s good that this happens because it shows that things are not quit...

next will be a 7 string, I borrowed one off someone a week or so ago and really enjoying it. There will be a lot more carving, looking into more intricate inlay work too. Also want to make the fretboa...

Welcome @warmvalves! 15.75”? What a weird radius! I wonder what the point was?!? However a 16” radius fret caul will work fine. That 0.25” difference is nothing! A lot of Ibanez necks have a 17” radi...

@warmvalves Welcome to the forum. There have been instrument making courses in Glasgow for many years but the college names change all the time. This may be the one you are thinking of. There are als...
