Why not just set up a reseller account with Hiscox Now, there's an idea @darrenking - wonder how many of us could use another decent Hiscox case (or three) and what sort of volumes you need for a res...

‘63 Lancashire That's known for being dense - no use as a tonewood 🤣

Does "measure twice cut once" count as one tip, two tips (once for each measure) or three? Keep your hands away from the sharp cutty things. Especially when they're travelling at speed. When dealing ...

I just filled in a couple of gaps in my CD collection - Bob Marley Complete Island Recordings boxset (11CDs, £17.03, delivered 2 days later, from Amazon.fr - mad!!) - so I'm listening to complete albu...

Total classic @louis-kerckhove 👍

Oooo... Shhhh - it’s cheaper too! (although you can sharpen a guitar maker’s knife - a tool for life) Different tools for different jobs really. I mean, you *could* make a guitar from raw wood with j...

It’s not an absolute top notch, tonewood, one-off, custom guitar, worth thousands, the body is made from pallet wood. What year is the pallet wood from? Most people say the ‘57 Honduran is best.

Dusted off my very first build and my only acoustic build. Many many eons ago. An archtop parlor size. All made from hand tools. There’s nothing like starting with something nice and simple. so...

If only I could lay my hands on some kind of cross between a chisel and a knife. Small flush-cut saw? One of the Japanese things that Rutlands sell perhaps? like this chap ...

I wish you’d get off the fence @boo and give us a clear opinion. Good? or ... Bad?

Or the large store-it-yourself warehouse places?

Cycle shops have large boxes.

A couple of years ago @darrenking - so I was plenty old enough to have known better!

You're right, a totally misleading message. So, what images does "Knob and Nut" conjure up. A quite appropriate image @robin, given the likely clientele 😆

but I've had one sitting in the shed unused for a couple of years. I've got one sitting unused in my workshop. It'll probably stay sat!

For example with a bandsaw you always need to makes sure that you hands are never pushing directly towards the blade but rather to either side of it. That way if the wood suddenly splits or the blade ...

What an excellent thread. I've been mostly offline for a couple of days so now feel like I've missed the birth of this build, and it seems like its developing quickly! (Or maybe it was the conception...

Cheers @peebee That was my second Bailey BYOG build. The top is Amazique - which is ridiculously hard, and heavy! But I saw it in the wood store and just was totally seduced by the looks! As I reca...
