Attachment : image.png That's a *very* nice, crisp, line there, looks very good.

I was going to suggest some decent nails, but your approach seems to have worked just as well! 😉 Getting there Jim, getting there ...

You'll not see anything better on YouTube. [edit] Apologies all, I think autocorrect changed "Bisseter" to "Better".

Hearing a tribute programme after his recent departure prompted me to go back and re-listen to some of his albums. Isn't this just a brilliant and creative piece of music?

Nice save to add the "i" in above the bottom of the S!

And relax ...

I was fortunate to be able to grab a CNC machine a couple of years ago (a friend was upgrading and so selling his old machine). It's really just a router but controlled by the computer rather than a...

Think it's a (very) occasional special sale thing @brie. I managed to grab some a few years ago when they had a clear out of old bits and pieces. I now have way more tops than I'm ever going to use t...

Thanks @Russ 🙂

@jamesbisset may have heard this before, though he's probably deleted all memory ... (This version has been remixed as part of the upcoming super deluxe boxset reissue)

I don't recall seeing that finishing approach before - what prompted you to try that? It's certainly looking good in the pics. I've never finished a build without a similar opportunity presenting ...

The most important word in that sentence is "old". But be careful because (current company excepted) some old things are apparently valued. 😉

Just listened my way through the backlog (though I did FF through the tracks that I already knew). And Mitski is now on my shopping list - thanks @Russ. Curious fact; her last 3 albums are 32min 22sec...

I look away for a moment - a moment - and @Russ has posted another month's worth of listening for me. 😉 Prompted by his comment on another thread, my song-of-the-moment is quite a few songs. I had ...

Crimson sell their own stuff in their shop - although it seems to be out of stock more often than in stock. [edit] Looks like *all* their glues have now disappeared from the shop. Chestnut Products...

Just check the child protection laws @Robin ... 🤣 ... might need to be a short scale proper acoustic?? Congrats, that's a super cute pic

And good to see you (and everyone else) still here @Russ! I've been doing no building at all in the last year-ish, so it seemed a bit fraudulent to be posting on a guitar making forum! But JimBo me...

That was pretty much how I did mine, and it worked fine. I used a roundover cutter rather than sanding a chamfer (using the router allowed me to make a wonderful mistake, that's another story) and the...

Excellent. To be fair, that was implied by your titling of this thread ("my first laminated semi-hollowbody" implies that you were planning a second and maybe a third, fourth, fifth and more), so rea...

I'm trying to workout what mishap occurred that needed the "decorative hole" at the top as a fix???
