So, you’re going for the natural look on your next 20-odd builds @tv101 🤣🤣 Well, I’ve got some body blanks that are not particularly attractive, wood like poplar. So, when they are guitar shaped, I can make them look beautiful…   Read more»

@tv101 I had a look at the Taylor website and thought the auditorium size looked reasonable. I’ve gone for in between auditorium/bootlegger but just a little shorter. If I can manage to make a bevelled arm rest then I could…   Read more»

@tv101 Interesting that you should post a pic of the inlaid fiddle. It’s a very old technique that was used on instruments in the 16th & 17th Centuries (typical on Baroque instruments). It involves scribing out a groove, with a…   Read more»

@tv101 If I were you I would just bang one out at home, boom! Do it! Then after Covid go do a course and make one with an arm bevel. That way you’ll have one under your belt (it ain’t that…   Read more»

@tv101 I was watching the acoustic course as well for a bit there, then I got completely distracted but intend to get back at it. I don’t really have much interest in building one but I certainly enjoy watching the…   Read more»

curse that non-functioning edit button!

It’s actually non existent, it disappeared a few days ago…

@tv101
My situation is the same as I live alone and for a lot of last year had no daily contact with anyone, so it was only the live streams that kept me going. Plus I learned a lot. 

@TV101  I’ve also got a set of reamers on order for my dremel. have you got a link to that? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5PCS-Set-Wood-Carving-And-Engraving-Drill-Bits-Milling-Cutter-Root-Point-Tools-/393055935902?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Here a link to same thing on ebay but from a different seller. They’re listed as wood carving bits….  …[Read more]

Not very gentlemanly … hope she doesn’t see this thread …

@tv101 I never said I was a gentleman. 😝

Rather happy to have received a (bona fide) text from my GP surgery a couple of hours ago, inviting me to make a vaccination appointment.

@tv101 Excellent, good on ya! Are you old or infirm? 😂

Though, perhaps @Boo should take half the blame???

@tv101 @mattbeels #FaileyGuitars It’s not my fault. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don’t seem to have had any workshopping time of late.  There’s been little foruming time either.  Any spare time has gone into recording stuff for the Bliss sessions, and working my way through the acoustic course lessons instead.   @tv101…   Read more»

@TV101  Nice workspace extension@Robin… won’t be long, and you’ll have “re-purposed” the whole garage There’s plans for change if lockdown is going to continue and I can’t get back to my west coast workshop soon. I’ve got a 6’x4′ hut…   Read more»

(and @boo got the credit, wtf!)

I’m going to have to send you a body or two to “practice” on though . @tv101 Thanks man. Yeah any time, send me whatever you want painting. I’m slowly coming back to painting and I’m not limiting myself to…   Read more»

Love it @tv101.

It’s always warm & sunny in Blackpool, @boo.   Thats why people can walk the streets all-but naked. (Or, is that “all butt naked”??) @tv101 🤣 Yeah, not really. 🤣  It is cold here in the Blackpool area but not…   Read more»

@tv101 My neighbour likes my music which is unusual as not many people like Irish fiddle playing, but she did used to run a pub in Yorkshire so probably heard all types. Most of them are out at work through…   Read more»

25.5degC ???  How can you work in such heat??? @tv101 Thanks. That metre was actually in the sunlight so that had an effect on the temperature showing. It was probably a few degrees less in the shade.  Look at it…   Read more»
