I got one of these. Beautifully packaged and can't wait to use it 😃 Attachment : 20201227_120038.jpg

Slight alteration, I have changed the pick ups to Humbuckers as these came in the Bailey kit. Trial fit of components on the drawing....all seems to fit. 2nd build will be P90s. Attachment : 604E5...

Thanks, no more progress to report, although I did get a Bailey kit and a Bagpress fret slotting jig from Santa, no excuses now. Bandsaw is a Record BS300

@Peebee Are you actually going to turn this into a guitar? Get it done, there's nothing wrong with an old bit of pine. The huge knot in mine is now a feature.

Nothing wrong with that. As far as the knot is concerned, you could reinforce it with epoxy. Could do, I’ll get stuck into the Bailey kit after Christmas and poss make this into guitar number 2. It ...

It’s about 4 pieces of scrap pine dug out of the shed glued together. @peebee Nothing wrong with that. As far as the knot is concerned, you could reinforce it with epoxy.

Thanks Boo, it came out ok. I’m not sure it’ll work as a real body as there is a whacking great knot in the neck pocket, but I might give it a go. It’s about 4 pieces of scrap pine dug out of the shed...

The practice belly carve, came out ok, thanks to Mark for showing the method. @peebee Yeah, nice work, very neat. Are you actually going to turn this into a guitar? I think you should.

Had a go at a belly carve today on a scrap wood tele body that I have made as practice. Turned out pretty well, draw two lines, make two facets and join em up...simples. @peebee Excellent! It’s not t...

Merry Christmas to me, can't open it until the big day though! @peebee Nice! 🤘

A couple of little jobs done today. First swapped my bandsaw blade as it was blunt. Made the headstock thickness jig, nice and simple that one and three sanding blocks made from some mdf. I think that...

@peebee Have a look at my video for the Wilkinson wraparound bridge and double check your drawing.

I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. @rocknroller912 I haven’t actually made any or experimented with making any but I have looked into it before. It is all inexpens...

. I wonder if anyone else has experimented with making shielding paint. I've got an ancient tin of Galvafroid paint, I painted some on a peice of wood as a test, but it wasn't conductive.

I bought some from Cat Music on eBay - seems to work - once applied and burnished it has a metallic sheen - conducts well - it was quite expensive for the volume but as I didn’t need a large quantity ...

During the summer Mark was shielding control cavities and asked if there is an alternative to the Stew Mac paint from America. Discussed this with my chemist friend yesterday and he suggested using gr...

Those encounters with John, alk those years ago, sewed the seed for wanting to make guitars. @eddie6string That’s an interesting story Eddie, love it. It’s always a shame to hear about people with m...
