Hi Rocknroller, the template is 75mm wide (same as Stewmac templates) but it would need you drill holes in your existing jig to correspond to the position of rows of holes in my templates. Are you abl...

@darrenking I'm thinking of buying some of the fret scale templates that you've made but am not sure if they would fit into the set up that I already have. Can you tell me how wide they are please. I ...

I saw the mortice being cut live, that was awesome! But had to catch up later on the rest. Great job M&C!

In response etc These are the low watt density pads I use for heat curing laminated sides. I don't bother with a thermostat controller for these as the temperature is only ever going to reach about 95...

Hi Mike, Thank you for your comments and I'm pleased that you seem to understand some of the advantages that this construction offers. I would never claim that it is better than using solid, but it is...

Hi Darren Watched your course on the website today and all I can say is wow. Absolutely brilliant way of producing a guitar with sustainable resources that can be really spectacular and it sounds as i...

I have now made the external mould for the guitars and, this will make you laugh (!) I realised that I had pressed all the sides at -4mm all round! Not to worry, the width was pretty much adjusted for...

@darrenking Now, what can I do until then.....? I'm pretty dang sure you'll think of something! Awesome work Darren...

Hi Darren We are in extraordinary times - I guess it must be something like being at war. I look forward to seeing some progress if you do have to shut down - hope you find time to take some pictu...

HI folks, Well, what an extraordinarily strange and screwed up world we are all now living in! Firstly, I hope that nobody on here is facing the worst that this crisis has to offer and that we can all...

Hi Bill, I think you would need to check with Mark on that and I'm not sure whether he has had a chance to press a front or back yet. I do know that Mark is very keen to get a course of this style of ...

Sound really interesting - does this mean that a full 335 style build would be practical in a 7 to 8 day workshop course with Mark?

With dreams of future mass production(!!!) I am going to make a pair of Maccaferri moulds out of layers of MDF so that they can be used with silicone heater pads. Using the UF resin means that I can h...

I wonder if it's because we give 'Pro-tools' more Wellie? Maybe I should rename this thread 'Affordable/bargain bench tools' ? I want to re-purpose the bottom half of Bandsaw to make a 2" drum sande...

This might be an interesting way to power a buffer and give it speed (and direction?) adjustment.

Hi Bill, The wall mounting option was my first thought also. Instead of the welded steel I was thinking of a birch plywood structure, which would still be plenty strong enough for mounting the bearing...

What speed should the mops ideally turn at? @forcesterbill You could perhaps base everything off the StewMac one, the spec is in their website.

What speed should the mops ideally turn at?

Thanks for the links Darren - thinking through building something - wondering about wall mounting something - pivoting an arm with the wheels, motor and pulleys so that it swings up when not in use......
