RE: Bending a top / back

Said James Bisset, watching the Wright brothers' inaugural flight .... 🤣 That's what I have, vaguely in mind, @rocknroller912. I thought I'd try to make a frame, like an aircraft wing, ...

Bending a top / back

Let's imagine that I was vaguely considering making a hollowbody-esque but wanted to avoid the excitement of an @JamesBisset vacuuming-bending-splitting (repeat) saga. Let's also imagine that I had th...

RE: Another yew top

That is definitely the face of an animal - horse-type. I can see the pointed ears, eyes and nostrils. As you posted that yesterday, I'm guessing the guitar is almost finished by now?? 😉

RE: Sweet 16 ? HAPPY BIRTHDAY TEEVEE ONE OH ONE * update*

RE: Fingerboard moved during glue-up - can it be rescued?
