So jealous @boo. Send us a wee demo. Good to hear from you. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@nsj I’m liking the look of this build, great shape and having a Floyd in as well tops it. I do have something similar in the planning. You are a great addition to this group and I’ll keep my eye on ...

Did a bit of refining on the shape then got the floyd cavity sorted. Tomorrow it's onto pickups and control cavity and maybe start the carve Attachment : Smalled.jpg Attachment : Smalled2...

@wolframmalukker The consensus may have been 10mm a few days ago, I reduced my current build to 7mm yesterday, it still looks thick enough though, thats in mahogany. I was wrong, best stick with yo...

I am more concerned about glue joint area than I am side wall strength. My bridge and fretwire showed up today, so I got to ogle the guitar jewelry a bit this morning. (Schaller 3D-6 in gold) Now, I k...

@wolframmalukker @koendb tv101 was asking the same thing a few days ago[ here ]. The consensus was 10 mm thickness The consensus may have been 10mm a few days ago, I reduced my current build to 7mm ...

More work on this today. (And the Uke!) I sanded the first 6 coats of clear coat on the Ukulele with some 800 grit, making sure NOT to cut through, and after a wash and tack-cloth, I shot another coat...

The mildew is mostly contained and nothing touched it that didn't also cause issues. I ran the boards through the thickness sander and was able to get 99% of it off, and am looking at options with my ...

@jamesbisset Thinking out loud here: In 3D modelling, you usually build the shape and then wrap it in a texture - often a high res tiled photo of wood or bricks or whatever. You could probably use a...

@jamesbisset I thought one of the comments was about wrinkling cased by the bag pressing, so I thought a solid outer mold would stop this. I haven’t read any books on this it was just an idea I had. ...

@rocknroller912 The adventure with the cutaway side suggests that the next stage in trying to force sawn veneer into a compound curve, without splitting along the grain, is gong to be using water in s...

Right, decided to get on with the levelling, crowning and polishing of the frets before attaching the wings, loads easier. Levelled and crowned Attachment : 20230215_193433.jpg Then onto po...

@jamesbisset Ive been following your build with interest and trying to get my aging brain cells around the problem. Once you have a concave mold made for the front and back would it be possible to ma...

@tv101 When I’ve glued veneer I dampen the non gluing side to even out the effect of moisture in the glue. Don’t know if this is usual or not but I always think out of the box.

@tv101 We used a two-pack urea resin. I doubt we’d have had time to correct my foolish error otherwise. And yes, left it overnight in the bag.

@tv101 Use the tubing, cut teeth in, drill it in then cut it off and file flush. Then start again, cut teeth, drill etc. That might work
