@poco7 Try printing to A4 but with your printer set to "print actual size" , it may be set at "print to fit page" and upsetting the scale.

@markbailey I think the scale at 11 x 17 seems to work, albeit with a few minor typo/glitches...probably a scaling/printing issue...I'm thinking i raised the ' red flag' a little to early...but i stil...

@markbailey Mark, ty, I'll check with the printers about the A4 designation; I downloaded the files from the link from the introduction home page, and then replaced it with the file[s] from the course...

The drawings should be printed on A4 size - sorry for any confusion...I will check out the typos you mentioned...where did you download the plans from?

(@markbailey) Mark, a newbie here...the patterns don't seem to print to scale under normal printing..i've printed at 11 x 17 and by 8.5 x 11; so, for the tracings, i'll have to redraw part of the lin...

You can dry clamp the neck to mark and drill the bridge holes - just make sure to double check alignment as you are gluing. You can run a ruler down each side and check it intersects with the bridge m...

Don't go tightening the truss rod it after you glue the fillet or it will bend and break the fillet! Also - when the fretboard is glued on the neck will be far too stiff for the truss rod to work, so ...

Hey @markbailey Thanks so much for the reply, really appreciate it and so good to hear from you... I'll crack on, BTW, if I didnt mention it before the acoustic course is so good...so clear... hope to...

Thanks to everyone for chipping in - good Q!...Short answer - It's OK. 😌 Some things to consider: The Aluminium part does look like it could sit squarer...make sure the round bar is fully in ...

Hey @robin and @rocknroller912 Really appreciate your replies and your research robin... Once again I'm reaching out to Mark, I've also emailed him...so fingers crossed... I'm slightly inlcined to go ...

@steveadams This should be a link to the video, I was wrong, that bit (refered to as the truss rod thing) isn't welded. At about 5 mins in, Mark is tightening the nut, I cant see anything to stop i...

@steveadams I haven't built an acoustic yet, so can't comment on the angle. I do rembemer watching a video of Mark making that type of truss rod. I'm not sure, but maybe the bottom rod should be welde...

Hey @russ Thanks for the reply..as you can see from the video I'm inclined to agree!! cheers Steve

@steveadams. Sorry Steve. I'm no expert in this at all. There is some angle on the neck but I'm not sure that it is as much as it seems in your video. I would expect that the wee barrel nut on the end...

Hey Guys This is a shout out to Mark and all of the acoustic builders..I've made a little video about the truss rod dilemma I have and something I would like to understand before I carry on. So it's a...

Thanks for posting those @darrenking. Can you let me know what the weather will be like on 21st Aug?
