Thanks, good to know. Just need to double check I’ve got everything and will get the order in later. Still designing and making jigs so I reckon it’ll be a week before I get started on the blanks.

So I need to order a body blank, neck blank and pre slotted & radiused fretboard, anyone know what kind of lead time there is from the guitarmaking.co.uk shop please, couldn’t find anything that s...

Yeah I've repriced my list of parts that I couldn't source from the shop here and it's knocked about £60 off the total bill already. Need to read up on fret wire next so I can add that to one of the o...

Posted by: @tv101 Whilst you're at Axetec.co.uk I wasn't it, was axesrus.co.uk, I'd never heard of them before. I'll check out axtech anyway though, always happy to find a new supplier of toys, will...

Hi, so, having gone through the design course first time around and following the advice of many (Mark included from his video!) I've decided to scale back my delusions of grandure for my first build....

@robin thanks, also thanks for showing me another design I “need” to try 🤔😉

Posted by: @tv101 you can easily take more off, but it's harder to put it back Pft it’s like you think that saw dust mixed with wood glue doesn’t give a nice finish 😛 I’ve no intention of a...

Ten is 30 @mattbeels how did that happen!? Anyone seen my pipe and slippers?

So you recommend minimal carving for the first guitar which makes sense but is the reason for this just because of how likely I’d be to screw out up first time around? As I don’t want a flat top guita...

@rockpile99 Glad it worked out ok, sorry should also have mentioned that it’s not at all quick, your results look pretty similar mind. I had a small chip to sort too and had to craft a new surround fo...

But if I catch anyone talkin’ shit about my doilies and table runners there’s gonna be hell to pay! @mattbeels Thank goodness you’re not going to be offended at my views of your napkins folded like c...

@deej so far it’s gone to the top of the list, now to figure out how to fund it 🙂 I think what I need to do is to get a bridge from a company who also make a cheaper one with the same mounting...

Hi, I’m not going to be able to do the course in one go so will need to subscribe a month at a time but there isn’t a non recurring option unless I’m missing something? If there is only a recurring on...

@deej Stunning build, great carpentry! Absolutely love the choice of bridge and saddles too, what are they please?

So has anyone tried both Wealden and Radian bits and compared them? Wealden certain have an extensive range, get the feeling I might find things I didn’t know I needed from there 🤔

@mattbeels Thanks, I concluded earlier that watching the course is now the next step so indeed this should become more clear, good to know it's not something to shy away from though 🙂 As for tonal dif...

I would advise, for your first build, using all the parts that Mark uses for the set neck Bailey Bandsman @boo So this sounds like a great idea in theory as one thing I don't want to do is put a lot ...

You don't have to use both bearings at once @rockpile99 There's the me feeling stupid bit 🙂 I'll absolutely be making a template though they'll be worthwhile. As for the main routing bit I was planni...

@rockpile99 thanks for the breakdown, I’m in a similar place, I’ve only ever used routers for cutting square channels and messing about to no end with round over edge bits. I’m clearly missing somethi...

@rockpile99 thanks, so which bits have you actually used then at what size, there are 5 from the guide notes with the round over being optional? Sadly limited to a work mate so good to know I’ll be go...
