Hi @tv101. I remember seeing Amy Wadge almost 30 years ago supporting Everything But The Girl…… who’d have thought she’d go on to be the brains behind Ed Sheeran’s success. 
🎸🙂🙏🎶

Watched some TV last night (I believe it used to be a popular form of entertainment). @tv101 Yeah I love this song and the TV programme too. It’s a new series and I’m recording the whole lot before I binge…   Read more»

Use that carefully and the bottom of the nut slot should be flat

ordered the 1/8″ one straight away! thanks @tv101

I’ve got the templates @Boo, if you want to make yourself a LP-alike? If I’ve got some suitably sized MDF, I could make a set of copies for the body, cavities, etc. @tv101 Oh that would be good if you…   Read more»

@tv101   @Rocknroller912  Then drill through the cap into the middle of the p’up cavities – the hole just needs to be big enough for a router bit to fit through. I did my LP’ish body the opposite way, I put…   Read more»

@tv101
I probably would have worked it out eventually, I’m a bit rusty after having a long lay off from guitar stuff and using power tools. Mostly I’ve been using hand tools.
 

@tv101 and @rocknroller912 I still haven’t made a LP type geetar yet. If only we knew someone with a CNC machine that could make us a set of routing templates. 🤔 @darrenking 😉😂

@tv101 Thanks a lot that’s all very clear and just what I was looking for. I thought there would be a smart way I just couldn’t think of it. I’ve got bottom bearing cutters. Starting to think about working now…   Read more»

@tv101 You’ve just ruined the surprise.

Thanks @boo, it’s not like one those xmas cards that spreads glitter everywhere when you open the envelope is it. 🙂

You do realise that the bit @Boo sends you will be painted in pink glitter paint before he sends it?? @tv101 You’ve just ruined the surprise. 🤣  @robin Its in the post and on it’s way, depending on when the…   Read more»

@tv101  Or, about 100miles away on Scottish roads.  Which is generally about 20miles as the crow flies on the West coast … You’re really not far wrong there, it’s a 130 mile drive there, 60 miles as the crow flys…   Read more»

@tv101 You mentioned that you’ve made an LP style so I’m looking for some advice please about how to route the pick up cavities. Obviously a flat template isn’t going to work very well either before or after carving. I’m…   Read more»

Thanks @tv101, but boo got in before you.. I do have a little bag of rosewood magic dust,           in my hut at the caravan though, a 7 hour round trip away.

Hi @tv101, that’s probably what ill do, but I haven’t got any rosewood to make dust from. I’ll fix the maple part today, the chip in the rosewood won’t look so big then.

@tv101 reminder to look in the morning (not supposed to be online this eve!)

If you set out in the expectation that you’ll ever get to the end, then you’ll always be disappointed because you can never get there. @tv101 Exactly that. 👍  @cheeswhisk Lower your expectations. 🤣  No seriously, practice makes perfect so…   Read more»

Something a bit different from me today. 

Love a bit of Joan @tv101. 👍😁 
🙏🎸🙂🎶
 

@tv101 and @darrenking I have to admit that this Bagpress stuff has completely passed me by, I’m ashamed to admit. I can understand the principle of it but have not looked at it in detail, so I think I should. It…   Read more»

Go for it @tv101. They very rarely play outside Dublin these days if at all. I might have to take a wee trip over to Whelans sometime. 
🙏🎶🙂🎸

@tv101 Thanks I think I posted photos of some of my builds before but here’s a Strat in bubinga from about 2000 and my fiddle started at the Cambridge Violin School,

finished mostly at work. Interested that you’ve…   Read mor…
