Thank you @markbailey (and Carol) what a lovely guitar. I will play her over the weekend and maybe post it...you don’t want to hear my rubbish playing though.

I'll watch it tomorrow. 🤣

Right back to work - laters 👋🏻

@tej We definitely do want to see your builds, every one of them. Even if we are all building the same model, this is a school, a training ground and an exhibition. I am building another Bailey Bands...

To be fair the others went in absolutely fine, more 'learning experiences' eh? Totally didn't glue my finger to my thumb either, well maybe for a split second.

Having second thoughts about the 12 fret wings now but fortune favours the bold or something right? @cheesewhisk Do you have a routing template or small carving chisels for those wings?

@boo I've got a dremel router base but no template, I do have some carving tools. I'm close to bottling it tbh but I would like to at least attempt something. I know Mark says keep it simple but alway...

Totally didn't glue my finger to my thumb either, well maybe for a split second. @cheesewhisk Have you bought any debonder yet for superglue? I have had a few close calls. 🤣
