A bit more carving this morning. I gave my dad's old Stanley plane a good sharpen, it cut through the ash body so easily. @robin That is a spectacular bit of carving there Robin, it’s looking great.

Belly carve done yesterday. There was a tiny flaw in the body blank and I'd positioned the body shape on the blank so that I would remove this little blemish with the belly carve, or so I thought. The...

Good save!

@Rocknroller912 Good fix on the thin cover, it sounds like you are really getting the hang of guitar making and learning how to fix problems as you go along. Thanks, I've not been short of problems...

Another little bit done. I made a guide fence for my bandsaw and got a 3/8" blade to help cut in a straight line, the 1/4" blade wandered a bit. My control cavity cover was just a wee bit too big at i...

Nice save there @robin Tell your Mrs that making mistakes is part of the fun!

Well done @robin. You can only become an expert by making mistakes. 🙏🎶🎸🙂

That’s a good tip but I wouldn’t recommend making big jumps in the diameter of the drills especially since there isn’t much meat around the tuner holes. Go up 1 mm at a time max and practice it first ...

@edwin Maybe a useful tip: Use your Dremel with the plunge base to drill a straight 2 mm pilot hole and gradually widen it with 4, 6, 8 etc drill bits until you've got the right diameter. You will no...

Identity theft; Ian Gillan's improvised lyrics on the live version if Highway Star "Nobody gonna steal my head, I'm gonna nail it to my bra-ain" Faultless logic!

@boo You will soon understand, young padawan. 🤘😁🤘 🤯😉🍻

@boo Just edited out my finger prints. I’m so paranoid these days, identity theft. I did think it was strange that the bandsaw was so clean when I dusted for prints. 🙂

but then noticed that you didn’t do it in the third photo... @mattbeels The third photo doesn’t show that level of detail that fingerprints can be picked up. 🤘😁🤘
