Our wives will all hate you! That's ok as long as their husbands don't.

Hey Marcel, I’ve got a birthday coming up, need another friend? I've got lots of friends, most of them virtual.

guitarmaking.co.uk convention....... I'll book the NEC because by the time we are allowed to meet there will be enough of us to fill it ?

@marcel Accidents are just an unexpected opportunity to learn something new. Craftsmanship isn’t about making no mistakes, its about learning how to fix them in such a way that nobody would know they ...

I also loved the Beatles Rickenbackers and owned a blue 620 for a while but sold it after our band split. Still regret it. Now that was a guitar with lots of knobs and switches, stereo output and two ...

@marcel Hey Marcel, I’ve got a birthday coming up, need another friend? You are a very generous man and I know how fantastic it feels to give something away that you have made to a person who really a...

Can I be your friend @marcel. You can try.

And to make matters worse, before I started to play guitar and bass I played conga's and timbales in several bands.

1- I'm redoing my barrel nut holes with some plugs to get a better aligned anchor for the bolts. Made a wee jig to hold the neck in the drill press for these scary 10mm holes. Will re-assess bridge cl...

How funny. remember when I showed up for my BYO number 4 in 2005, and wanted a Macaferri.... you were like... nah man that's not how we make an acoustic flattop bridge. IRONY

There is this horrible feeling of quickly devaluing the worth of one's bit of wood with every ever-escalating disaster potential. I don't like it! I have made a f*ck*ng pig's ear of getting my neck bo...

I think I should prioritise getting the neck and soundboard flat, given that my fingerboard is only 5.55mm thick. Nothing I have done with sanding the upper bout area on the soundboard has affected th...
