@johnnierox-boo That neck looks stunning with the oil on it, can't wait to be doing that.

Yes it's it bit of a conversation piece when there's people here, its usually quite quiet during the week. @robin It’s good to see you getting attention for it and it’s great that it is stimulating y...

I'm really enjoying making the neck. @robin Good lad Robin, it’s looking good. Does anyone every walk past and ask you what you are doing?

@tv1010101 It's great working outside when the sun is shining, but the natural dust extraction was blowing a bit cold today. It's so satisfying seeing the neck gradually taking shape.

@johnnierox-boo Thanks John. Yes it's it bit of a conversation piece when there's people here, its usually quite quiet during the week. My friend next door is a retired tech teacher, unfortunately ...

Short and sweet.... No - I wasn’t describing Mark and Carol... 🤣 Hope you get some down time!

Is it Saturday already. Iv'e glued my fretboard this morning and having the rest of the day off. Attachment : 20200926_123656.jpg It's hard work being retired.

@markbailey Stressed at all?

If I had known it was going to be this difficult I never would have started...?Don't miss my update 1pm today - NOT LIVE! Link to follow...

@robin NICE! Yeah i just did the rough cuts for the shapes this morning before work. I couldn’t make up my mind of what to make, so im making two at the same time, both have mahogany bodies but one is...

I've had some mishaps with the router already @robin Don’t worry about it, like @tv1010101 said, we’ve all been there. On my first Bailey Bandsman build, following the online lessons, my router bit r...

Just sharpened one of my chisels, thanks Mark. Attachment : VID_20200924_181133.mp4

the need to keep the waterstones flat & level. You need a levelling stone. Pretty cheap from amazon..

Not complaining - just reporting.....

Not sure he was much into string bending though ... @tv1010101 maybe it was just easier and more comfortable for him to play then.

@seth The rough bit of grain looks like it's on the part you are cutting out so you probably won't know until the shape is roughed out. If it goes through to the cut line then getting a smooth finish ...

Do you guys think it will be ok? @seth It will be fine, don’t worry about it. As @darrenking has mentioned, Maple is strong and with the fretboard and a truss rod, there will be plenty of rigidity. L...
