@boo My daughter was sitting beside me while I was scrolling down looking at the paint job. She kept saying... ohhhh.... pretty. 🙂 Oh.. and she loves the purple. At the end she said... well... I reall...

@boo I quite like the look of the dark red and gold, and honestly wouldn't have known there is anything wrong with it. Not until I saw the photo where you wiped back down to purple, I can see now its...

Well, today, I did some final touch ups on the curves of the sides and they now remained within a few mm from where they should be sitting.Then sanded the sides with 80, 120 and 240. Next: Kerfed Lini...

@koendb They look fantastic. Well done

Posted by: @russ They're very elusive creatures @boo. The best way to catch them is to lay at trap with sea salt on the night of a Full Moon. 🤔🪤 @russ Thanks Russ, I’ll bear that in...

Although I can’t add anything, I’m loving this conversation, very interesting stuff. I’m so happy with the thought that people put into these forums, always thinking of others and how things will cont...

They say that, since they are thicker, there is less energy lost and the guitar should vibrate more. As an engineer I'm inclined to agree with this. I see the sides as a structure to support the soun...

@darrenking Degree subject for sure

@koendb No worries you have a very smooth looking set of sides and I think it’s going to be a great guitar. I might not make the video on Tuesday as I’m being pressed to do a booking for Burns Night a...

@bpower My understanding is that thicker wood dampens sound vibrations, however I’m not sure how this affects the sides. I think that you are correct in saying the thickness is for bending. I’m leani...

Posted by: @bpower someone like @darrenking may be able to correct me I am really not in a position to ‘correct’ anyone and I think we’ll all find that the longer we stick around, the fewer examples...

Side bending job done, now the pics: Attachment : IMG_20220122_225153919.jpg Attachment : IMG_20220122_225431530.jpg Posted by: @rocknroller912 You can show us on the video call next ...

@rocknroller912 I kinda wonder if it would be the other way around. I've been doing a lot of reading and watching others making their laminated sides and I've seen a few that, when they are done lamin...

@koendb Its a hard learning curve by yourself. I went through it many years ago and have never actually done a guitar making course, only violins. You can show us on the video call next Tuesday if you...

@koendb I wonder if the bass side will have a muted response due to it being thicker. Difficult to sand it once the body shape is made but not impossible. Are you building on a flat board or using a m...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass @rocknroller912 The bass side is thicker. Just finished sanding the other one to 2.15~2.25mm
