Welcome to the builds. Savor the journey and enjoy the outcome.

Hi and welcome to the group, enjoy the journey!! Normally I’m to be found in Northeast Scotland but by a strange coincidence I’m currently very near High Wycombe!! Looking forward to heading north ag...

Welcome to the group, its a great way to retire, you'll soon wonder how you had time to work.

Hello! All I can say is I am excited to get going on this journey, especially as proper power has now been laid in to my shed of dreams. This is really my retirement project. It's been many, many year...

@tv101 no, I've hit a long boring process where you have to wait and wait and wait lol. I forgot it wasn't sealed on the back to, made a right mess on my table, thank god for actetone 🤣 ...

🤔🎸🤔🎸🤔🎸 Interesting @tv101 🎸🎶🙂🙏

Great version of a Neil Young song

@tv101 Why do they only use four strings on their guitars? Are they confused bass players in diguise? Are they on a low budget? So many questions... 😀

Hi James, take it off and start again. You’ll spend more time trying to compensate all the other parts than if you just strip the fretboard off and glue another one on in the right place. Going with a...

I glued and clamped the fingerboard to the neck yesterday. This morning, after taking the clamps and caul off, I find the fingerboard has twisted off axis by about 1.5mm. I reckon it happened like th...

Sawed up the other piece of yew I had, got another nice top for another build, maybe carve this one Attachment : 20230426_164229-01.jpeg
