@robin Got it - cheers! Check latest announcement...

Have an OM that I'm working on and think in leveling the sides I got a little thin in 2 spots. I had cut a small channel so I wouldn't have to sand the top and sides end grain when leveling the sides...

Posted by: @seanwhcraig Does anyone have any thought on should I do anything to the sides to strengthen them up? @seanwhcraig Hi Sean, I’m going to assume you are talking about an acoustic guitar yo...

yes, good point. it is an acoustic guitar. thanks

@seanwhcraig. I would say that you should still be fine. 1.5mm is thin but you didn't go through it so I think it is ok. On the course Mark says he thins the cutaways down to .080" so that is around 2...

Ok thanks for the reply. im afraid it might be closer to 1mm. but i will definitely add a couple of extra side braces. need to figure out how to clamp them up from inside the body. could use CA glu...

@seanwhcraig I would use white wood glue - it allows some time for manipulation and can be easily cleaned off if it goes wrong. Magnets make excellent clamps for this sort of thing...

My intention was to cover the filled surface with 1 coat of LIBERON sanding sealer, sand then stain followed by several coats of sanding sealer sanding in between, then spray with tinted nitro followe...

@kevin-turvey I think it will work. I’ve used sanding sealer over Danish oil, but from what you describe using oil as a filler probably isn’t necessary. From memory Liberon sanding sealer is quite th...

couple of things I'd love to see are a classical guitar project and also a neck through build going through the entire process from the initial drawing to the finished guitar being a big fan of supers...

Can anybody recommend a brand of inexpensive pore or grain filler for a mahogany like wood available here in the uk? In the USA they many exotic offerings, but here there is only Rustins or similar. I...

Thank you for that tip I have some Rustins worktop oil which I think is similar to danish oil so I will try that on a scrap piece of similar wood. I assume it going to take a long time to cure. Do you...

Posted by: @tv101 Damn - I must have missed that one? Thick and fast, TV. Thick and fast.

@norriemac It might have been badly dried causing cracks. Was the olive wood hard to glue.

@norriemac Nice work Norrie. Looking forward to seeing this one develop. 🙏🎶🎸🙂

@rocknroller912 Thanks Mate, yeah I think that now too. I now know to never use olive wood again. Hidden cracks and defects that have taken hours to tidy up.haha
