@koendb I think your logos look really good and professional. What have you made your logos from?

Funny you should ask, the Misses and I were discussing that very thing earlier. I do need some shelving and using it to break things up is looking like a great idea. Great minds homie, great minds... ...

My new workshop arrived today, @robin Yeah! Nice shed mate, it will be your own tardis for all your guitar building adventures. One man and his shed. Every man needs his shed. 👍

Plus my wife actually asked whether I'd really enjoy making it myself more, rather than just commissioning Mark to do it. Sounds like you have the missus trained @TV101 ...see you up at the Bailey wo...

@Robin That is great! Congrats, nice upgrade!

Can you not partition some of it off to create a private area. perhaps some tall shelving units @boo Funny you should ask, the Misses and I were discussing that very thing earlier. I do need some sh...

@robin I look forward to the pics on the inside and how you have utilised the space..

My new workshop arrived today That’s awesome @robin, very happy for you! Nice to know that we’ll both be getting lost in our new spaces 😆

I didn’t have a back room before and I don’t have one now either. I wish I did as having something separate/private would be nice but not essential. @mattbeels Can you not partition some of it off to...

@mattbeels Your new workshop looks huge, you'll never need all that space. My new workshop arrived today, I'll get lost in all the space I've got in there compared with the corner of the garage I've ...

That is one heck of a space you got there.

@frocesterbill For the better part of the past 15 years I’ve made my living running a repair shop so having a clean space is important as customers are coming and going. I prefer to have a store fron...

Isn’t it amazing? 60 years old and still actually quite a playable instrument. Quirky I’ll grant you, but who knows how it really sounded when it was new. They go for quite big money these days with c...

@darrenking It seems there are a few still hanging around

Do you notice any difference in tone . Without wanting to blow my own trumpet too much, the first two laminated, steel string acoustics that I made are still the best sounding, best intonated and lou...

This is one big advantage of laminating with veneers. You can find absolutely amazingly stunning veneers far easier than you can the equivalent solid and there is so much less wastage of the raw mater...

I think you have to look at the product in context. Reviewing a 50’s or 60’s plastic guitar in the 80’s or 90’s is probably unfair. It was designed to be a low cost, reasonably ok guitar made from mat...

developed a completely plastic guitar, @darrenkingI saw a review of his plastic guitar in (I think) Guitarist magazine years ago (a retro review, I'm not that old). It was so so and apparently the gu...

Being ‘posh plywood’ they are less affected by changes in temperature and humidity and this was the aim of Mario Maccaferri when he first designed the guitar. I believe that his later company in the U...

@darrenking Aren’t laminated tops less prone to bowing then solid tops?
