Perhaps we could / should have a streamers’ special session at the workshop. I have absolutely no need of another guitar, but a 335 course would be a great excuse for another week in the workshop of wonders, Ayr-nights-out and…   Read more»

Hi Roel – seen you on the live-streams – great to see one of your builds too. Lots of people start with a Tele (simple construction) … but a *multi-scale* Tele is a bit unusual!  Looks really good, and great…   Read more»

I’m currently attempted option 4. That’s like option 2, but without cutting a hole in the back to get access to the underside of the hole. Step 1 has worked (I’ve got a piece of wood glued in place), and…   Read more»

I’m still getting by with my hand-powered Mirka sanding block.  It’s the one with the dust extraction holes, so I just stick the pipe from that into the Dysan hosepipe and it seems to work OK. But agree completely with…   Read more»

Another interesting session – thanks for taking the time to set these up and run them Mark (& Carol). One question though … Am I using the wrong routers?  Every time I pick one up for a job it’s got…   Read more»
