@poco7 sounds like the neck angle is the problem. Can you re set it

@poco7 thanks for these tips

@poco7 I'm at a loss here for ideas..if i sand and lower the saddle, i'll have NO break angle to the tail piece and fighting buzzing on the cover Rather than lowering the saddle, is there any possi...

@jamesbisset Pay attention to Mr Bailey and don’t show off to friends

Having (relatively) successfully made two sides, a front and a back, I carted the whole lot home to rest in this old, cold, damp house. Mr Bailey was surprisingly insistent that I keep the sides bound...

Exactly what I was beginning to think. However, the advantage of the concave mould is twofold: Darren (Bagpress) said it was better that way You can make the mould the same size as the front or back,...

@tv101 With poor state of my fingers at the moment, calling anything after them is sure to end in failure. For your carve top I would rough out the carving with a cnc but do the final finishing with ...

@rocknroller912 Well, I'm sure you'll agree probably the most critical aspect is creating the radius point for the large circle cut-out [for the cone] at the Scale length...for my existing top, i hea...

@poco7 Thanks I was concerned about how much the cone will drop and I’ve read there are variations in quality. Did you buy your cone in America ? I’m looking for a high action for lap steel and don’t...

@rocknroller912 Yeah, I bought a set off of Ebay...about $65 for the entire set...probably included shipping, i looked online and i think the seller actually was; GuitarmusicUK. advertises "1 Sets Do...

@jamesbisset So, the back went into the vacuum press, this time glued with a slow cure urea resin, and you heard me say on the video there were a couple of creaks. Sure enough, the next morning reve...

Spalted wood is beautiful. This is one I am working on at the moment ( well just need to finish it really ) ( spalted Tamarind ) Attachment : IMG_20221018_083201523.jpg

@jamesbisset Pleased you are getting somewhere at last, however you still need a foolproof method that works for teaching beginners.Ive thought about this since we chatted last week. I would be incli...

With some anxiety, I tackled the front lamination. I was so concerned about the way the back had split that I cut apart the book-matched front face veneer and planed the edges again before joining (ag...

Never mind. Let’s get on with the easy stuff. The neck! Attachment : IMG_8927.JPG Attachment : IMG_8928.JPG Attachment : IMG_8930.JPG

By now, I had made two new moulds for back and front with 4 layers of 3mm MDF: i.e. an arch of around 12mm rather than 15mm as previously. And with gentler curves. So, the back went into the vacuum p...
