Posted by: @jamesbisset After @tv1010101 ’s rant about ƒ-holes That wasn't a rant, that was just a constructively critical observation! 😉 I liked many of your alternative designs - the shapes "fit...

Where would you draw the line? Buying prepped (thicknessed/planed) wood, or buying it in raw plank form. Or planting a tree and waiting a few years ... Buying tools, or making your own? Buying the pi...

I went for a red top stain this time and left the body mostly natural, but with some of the old blue showing to make it a bit interesting That looks pretty damn good - and impressive for a first bu...

Wooden scratchplate...BOOM. @markbailey ... I did the BOOM last time 😉 Fancied trying something different this time around!

And now, as if by magic, no exposed and visible neck join!! Attachment : 20200823_115733.jpg

Take one LP Jr ... Attachment : 20200823_115713.jpg (Yes, I know it should really have a dog ear P90, and also that the rubber surround of the mini HB isn't looking too good, but that's anoth...

I like LP Jrs. I like the simplicity of a single slab of wood, no fancy top, a single pickup, plug-in-and-play. I also like that they tend to be (in my experience) pretty light, and easy to strap on a...

It doesn’t look bad. Not bad at all! I really like that headstock design - simple and distinctive. And also useful for scratching that bit on your back that you can never quite reach. ?

It's time for the oil ... The wood (Utile) is quite open grain - which makes it fairly rough to the touch (compared to something like maple), even after lots of sanding. So I used som...

It took some time. And then some more time. Mix up the glue & wood dust, cover the hole, sand and then sand some more. Then mix up some more glue & wood dust and re-cover the hole, and then s...

Better get a move on Darren! I had to work out what @darrenking meant with the “beat you to 600” comment @frocesterbill. But when I did work it out, I made it just a little bit tougher for him. ?

Worth watching until the end too ... looking good @darrenking! ?

2hrs and 20mins??? Marathon session!! There's going to be a lot of content in this .... Looks like I don't see the chat when watching after the event though 🙁

From the little bit I saw today, this looked like an interesting session, I will go and watch it from the start. Thanks to you both Mark and Carol. Exactly the same goes for me! I had to leave early...

Pic above to show that I *can* do it, but it wasn't an easy / intuitive process.

Is anyone else having problems with 'Attach Files' process? When I click on it now I just get a long string of images dropping off down the screen rather the list of images that used to pop up. It's d...

@darrenking One of the great losses to my working practices now that I wear glasses most of the time is that I have lost the ability to stick a pencil behind my ear! Maybe I need to patent a magnetic...

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 If anyone sits in front of me or talks while teacher is speaking then I'll NEC tape their mouths shut and make em sit on the Up and Downer Mentioning *no* names, but tha...

The problem is that Mark has magic pencils They’re technically known as “guitar maker’s pencils*”. To be used by “guitar maker’s hands”, under the guidance of “guitar maker’s eye”. *other guitar...

The Headstock looks good to me but I imagine it was a nightmare to cut out and sand it. Cheers, Russ Cheers @Russ. With hindsight, I decided that it was a little too pointy (I'm really not a pointy ...
