Attachment : PXL_20220908_091021219.jpg Attachment : PXL_20220909_141913388.jpg I started by squaring up the neck blank. Planing one of the faces flat and smooth then squaring up both of th...

So here I go with Parlour N°2. It's pretty much the same as my first attempt but this time with X-bracing rather than ladder bracing. I'll try and give a wee bit more of an explanation of the process ...

@robin That sounds fantastic. I know my daughter absolutely loves getting involved with the build. She talks about her diamonds all the time. Also.... acoustics are wayyyyyyyy better than electric gui...

@bpower That all looks great, I really need to be getting on with my acoustic build, seeing this is helping to spur me on. I like the way you're getting your daughter involved, my daughter gave me a ...

Next was clean up the glue squeeze out and start making some center seam diamonds. Just like all my other guitars I enlisted the help from my daughter. I love getting her involved. You never know... s...

ok... It seems like this build is taking a long time but I'm enjoying the relaxed pace. Here are a few more progress pics. I didn't like the carve on one of the braces (upper face brace) so I removed ...

@bpower I like the idea of the bottle screws on your jig, I'm going to be copying that idea on mine, I've got some of these in my boat junk box.

@bpower Wow, good progress! Nice rosette too.

thanks @swepri. I did that "random pattern" rosette on my last build too and I am really liking the end result. I think it may become my "thing" on my guitars... or at least some variation of that. 🙂

thanks @russ. 🙂

Nice work @bpower. Lovin' the rosette too. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

And some more pictures. 🙂 Attachment : 20230601_190453.jpg Attachment : 20230602_060748.jpg Attachment : 20230603_135929.jpg Attachment : 20230603_140300.jpg Attachment ...

Well.... It has been a while since I posted about this build. I've been pretty busy and haven't had a good chance to make progress... however I am finally making some headway on this build. Here are t...

@robin I put mine in for crunchy stuff and take them out for chocolate, ice cream etc 🤣

@nsj To be honest, I've not got many of my own left, I've got a mouth full of caps, crowns and bridges. I went through the covid shut down with a front tooth snapped off at the gum, then they pulled ...

@robin That’s pretty good service, I’m glad you got it sorted out that quickly. Can’t get in at Tarbert, Lochgilphead is the nearest practice we can get treated at right now. The whole dental service...

@robin should've got him to take them all out! I had endless grief from mine since I was 5 or so lol

@boo I couldn't believe how painful it was, but I got a really quick response from NHS24. I phoned them at 10:30 on Easter Monday, 4 hours later the dentist at Lochgilphead hospital had removed tooth...

@robin Dental abscesses are terrible, I don’t know how you even made it into your workshop. I’ve got an appointment in Lochgilphead next month, think I might need root canal work, again.

This part time guitar building just doesn't work. I'm making templates to route my side bending mold and totally forgot that I'd changed the radius of the cutaway. So glued bits back into the template...
