@rocknroller912 nice work, have you tested it?

I’ve also ordered some silver highlights but don’t really have a clue how to go about using them nor if there are many options and on top of that what the results I could expect are. So, any advice in...

First of two questions for today, if using a clear grain filler and a dye I’m presuming you’d mix it with the later coats of dye once you have the colour pretty much deep enough for your tastes, sound...

@koendb But your wings should already be roughly shaped. So this is one of the parts I was really unsure with, I’d assumed you wouldn’t cut them to shape as I’d expect you want/need consistant clamp...

@hudsoncustoms sounds like you’re starting with a much clearer view of the end game than I did 😬 Any pictures you’d be happy to share?

I’m sure Mark did a live stream on neck through construction. @rocknroller912 where can I find his livestreams can see a link from Here too them. Am I missing the obvious Here?

I challenge you to cut those horns with a router. @rocknroller912 or perhaps a sharp spoon!?

@koendb so what’s the plan for getting the build done, I’m not familiar with the approach for neck though, at what point do you join the wings on to the neck? My next build is, in my head, to be neck ...

@powerful can’t hurt to try as long as your experiment isn’t on expensive wood, I expect your main issue might be that you won’t get an even temperature over the length of the tube. I’ve not bent wood...

@koendb v4 for me 😬 If you still had an asymmetrical end but took the curve from the lower wing through the neck end into the top wing I think that might look best, to me at least. So it would...

The bridge is already decided and I have it in my drawer 🙂 I think a bridge with a separated tail piece is a stupid idea, if I were you I’d have a look in your drawer to see if you have somet...

@koendb You could always use a bridge with a separate tailpiece to occupy some of the bump?

@koendb I think what doesn’t sit right is the curve into the flat end of the neck then the angled take off on the top wing, it doesn’t look intentional. Hard to explain where I’m coming from here. Had...

@koendb like it! A couple of points, personally I’d make the angle the top wing comes off the bridge end of the through neck more shallow, it looks a bit harsh to me which doesn’t quite work when the ...

@russ have you got any of their clamps?

I’ve only ever owned 25.5” scale guitars, I tried to play as SG copy that had a shorter scale length and simply couldn’t play anything well at all, felt very alien everything being that little bit out...

@powerful Welcome, there are a few people at different stages of acoustic build who I’m sure will share advice and help out if/when you need it! Enjoy!

hammered dulcimer @hudsoncustoms I had to look up what that was, curious instrument! Welcome to the forum anyway, what did you have in mind to build?

Arguably free orientation doesn’t really matter but if you put the flat side up it’ll adjust as you’d expect. If you put it the other way the adjuster will act the opposite way as I’m told. Incidental...

@steveadams, nice work, you done a cracking job of that. Well done for persevering. A little hard to see the finished result as the camera at the end, or equally possibly my eyes, were a little blurry...
