@darrenking Degree subject for sure

@koendb No worries you have a very smooth looking set of sides and I think it’s going to be a great guitar. I might not make the video on Tuesday as I’m being pressed to do a booking for Burns Night a...

@bpower My understanding is that thicker wood dampens sound vibrations, however I’m not sure how this affects the sides. I think that you are correct in saying the thickness is for bending. I’m leani...

Posted by: @bpower someone like @darrenking may be able to correct me I am really not in a position to ‘correct’ anyone and I think we’ll all find that the longer we stick around, the fewer examples...

Side bending job done, now the pics: Attachment : IMG_20220122_225153919.jpg Attachment : IMG_20220122_225431530.jpg Posted by: @rocknroller912 You can show us on the video call next ...

@rocknroller912 I kinda wonder if it would be the other way around. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching others making their laminated sides and I've seen a few that, when they are done lamin...

@koendb Its a hard learning curve by yourself. I went through it many years ago and have never actually done a guitar making course, only violins. You can show us on the video call next Tuesday if you...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Are you building on a flat board or using a mold. @Rocknroller912 I am using a flat board just like Mark does in the course. Posted by: @rocknroller912 I wonder if the ...

@koendb I wonder if the bass side will have a muted response due to it being thicker. Difficult to sand it once the body shape is made but not impossible. Are you building on a flat board or using a m...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass @rocknroller912 The bass side is thicker. Just finished sanding the other one to 2.15~2.25mm

@koendb Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle. @rocknroller912 Ah I did not know that. Luckily for me, it seem...

@koendb Side bending is best done in one go. The longer you leave it the more the wood will dry and become brittle.

A couple of days ago, I started to bend one of the sides, which was still a bit too thick. ( 2.4 ~ 2.5 mm ) It took me quite a while, especially from the waist into the upper bout. Since it took so lo...

Awesome work @koendb!

Posted by: @robin is it side bending next. I dont know yet. I am trying to figure out whether I need to plane down the sides a little more ( I am now at 2.4mm~ 2.6mm) Since I have some leftovers fro...

@koendb You're doing well, is it side bending next.

Yesterday I took the sides of my guitar to a friend to thin them down on his thicknessing planer to as close to 2.2mm as we could. While we where at it, we also reduced the thickness of the fingerboar...

@koendb very nice. 🙂

Early this morning, before starting my workday, I started curving the back braces. During lunchbreak ( and some extra time ) I glued the braces in and tonight, I carved the braces and sanded them. ...
