Hey Steve Just catching up on the outside world, and eagerly clicked on your video update. Well. That's all a bit disappointing and disheartening. You spend 10 days in Portugal, and that's all the ta...

Just catching on this thread. Looks like some good progress there, and a definitely-guitar shaped instrument is emerging from the pieces. Your thread title caught my eye ... "(wife's guitar)". I star...

[edit](Good to see that the edit functionality has been fixed whilst I’ve been away 😋 ) The other brand I’ve used is “Osmo” particularly when I’ve wanted a clear or light shade to a top, rathe...

@tej I switched to the Crimson guitar stains. They’ve got a wide range of colours (which you can mix and/or overlay to create bursts, etc), they’re easy to apply and the results generally match the c...

@tej - one of the reasons that I moved away from it is because it is very susceptible to any inconsistencies with the wood, the preparation of the wood, and the application of the product. I basicall...

Cheers @Russ - my wife has been really ill, so lots of hospital trips and no time (or inclination) for guitar buildery stuff. Hopefully she's now on the recovery path, so you've got me back here!!

He just commented he might want to go for the same colour as his AC Cobra replica, which I can see working. Priorities, priorities ... Get the guitar finished in a colour/scheme that he likes, a...

Childhood photos of famous musicians, look closely. @rocknroller912 ... made me think of ... Attachment : image.png Keith Richards teaching a young Willy Nelson how to play guitar.

@rocknroller912 salmon, trout, makrel? In @JamesBisset's case, duck oil will be more appropriate than fish oil.

Cheers @Boo. I acquired that as a carcass, so I just added the hardware and the finishing. Plays lovely. 👍

This is what I'm listening to a lot at the moment. Title track from his posthumously released album Coming to a Bliss near you soon, if I can manage to play that fast ...

Damn, I've missed a lot of "songs of the moment" over the past few weeks. A bit of listening to catch up on. Looks like the usual wide range of quality music from @Russ and a few interesting ( Ƕ...

I've been on a holiday so I had to keep my favourite songs to myself for three weeks. We enjoyed your holiday @Marcel 🤣 🤣 🤣

Only pictures I have for reference are these but really video or multiple angles are needed to truly see what effect is achieved, look at the highlights section: @Tej - I used to use those product...

As an indication ... I bought a plank of 27mm thick maple last week. 8' long, 8.5" wide. It's a nice clean plank with only a couple of knots at one end. Of course, you always hope that cleaning it ...

In which live stream was this? That puts a thought in my head. We need some sort of index/directory of what Mark covered in which Livestream. There are so many of them (yay!) and he covers so much s...

Decision made .... I've bought the Veritas Honing Guide "system", based on the recommendation of my local friendly cabinet maker! It's not really much cheaper than the Rutlands gadget, but the Veritas...

I am very happy i can tell you that i am probably going to follow a study course on instrument making. It is a 5 year course and i am very motivated to learn about different instruments. My plan is to...
