Thanks for posting JB. I've got one of those Eggles, though mine's a lot later and slightly less official. Great guitars, very well put together, nice shape and very comfortable to hold and play.

Looking at those pics and remembering happy days in the workshop ... I'm getting an urge 😉 Looking good Bill. Those fretboard markers are a nice detail, so much better than a standard dot inl...

Posted by: @swepri A (partly failed) brass powder inlay on the headstock Looks like I can't multi-quote in a reply 🙁 That comment reminded me of something I was planning on trying. It looks like a...

Posted by: @swepri A thin top laminated to the body (resawn on the bandsaw, also a first) Congrats on managing to do that. You need a well set-up bandsaw and a decent blade to get that done succe...

Welcome back @swepri 🙂 Puppies are important - time off for them is allowed! Show & tell some more on the build. I tried freeze-framing the video in a couple of places to get a better view on the...

After watching Russ' contribution, the culture equilibrium needs a bit of balance ... 😉

More pics required Bill, more pics!!

^^^ I've got out of the habit of watching Jools @Russ so I'd not seen that. Guess I need to get back into the habit!

Blame my workshop ipod again ...

Bit more done this evening, between work o'clock and eat o'clock! Well, that was lucky ... Attachment : 20221010_180601sml.jpg I don't think you can make a jig for that operation - just drill...

Cheers @Robin 🙂 In the olden days, a "good lunch" would have involved some mates, a pub, and beer. These days, it means I can take an hour out of my working day and get into the workshop! Attachm...

Posted by: @boo We are on a beautiful Scottish hillside, in a real coms blackout spot but satellite broadband has solved everything. 👍 Good to hear that you're sorted now @Boo. Madly, we're ...

That is a wonderful sight to see - Mark back in the workshop with a bunch of students making sawdust. And the funny lady in there too. That workshop is one of my happy places. (Strangely, I find woo...

And this is what happened ... Attachment : 20221009_192609sml.jpg It took a lot longer than getting out the masking tape, superglue, and router - but part of that was my nervous learning curve ...

I had some (wooden) window frames to repair, and then paint this weekend. ☹ Naturally, they were *upstairs* window frames, and I'm not a fan of climbing ladders. ☹☹ But with that...

Those are some tasty looking woods there. And a great save on the headstock too. 👍

Posted by: @koendb Time for your next build now 😋 😊 😎 Probably well past time! I've got some windows to finish repairing and then paint today though 🙁 Got to get those jobs ...

Posted by: @norriemac That is utterly stunning It's a beautiful piece of Maple! But then I often think that even plain wood without the fancy flame or quilt can also be beautiful. I'd much rather ...

Turn it up ...

Posted by: @tyreman I have never used pre-made shellac so can't say what the quality is like although I've heard liberon special pale french polish is good. Thanks - that might be an easier (& c...
