Routing the headstock angle revealed a defect exactly at the edge of where the headtock will be. Maybe I can get some grain filler to fix it. @wayne_f It may not be a problem, just keep going and see...

@wayne_f Routing the headstock angle revealed a defect exactly at the edge of where the headtock will be. Maybe I can get some grain filler to fix it. What finish are you intending to put on your h...

@Wayne_F @robinSomehow that never occurred to me. I could add maybe 1/4" of height and that would probably take care of it. Thank you. I've had a lot of help and advice from this group, I'm glad to ...

Here's a short update on progress. More will be happening very shortly. @wayne_f Yeah, I offset the hole in my router base plate to avoid that happening. It’s no big deal, you can just cut some exces...

@Wayne_F That little practice neck was worth doing, and I like the shape of the headstock. Would it be an option to make your headstock routing jig just a little deeper, so that your router base would...

Making a mock-up neck seems like a great idea to me...a little practice...I bought some cherry wood that I had to cut & clamp, for a neck, then decided I would save that for a Mandolin build later...

I'm up to 12 coats of laquer now and sanded with 1000 grit and got rid of all the tiny runs and ripples that I couldn't see before I sanded. Should I leave it at that for polishing or put a wet coat o...

Couldn't resist a little trial fit of the tuners. I need to build up more lacquer though, I can still see and feel the edges of the logos. However, I totally forgot about the nut when I was positioni...

@Wayne_F Yikes! That must have been a lot of work to cut through. I'm envious of your 6" blank haha It wasn't as hard work as it looks, I had cut 2" deep from each side with a circular saw before ha...

Welcome @wayne_f I hope you enjoy your stay, gonna head over to the showcase to see what you’re up to 🙂

Hi all, I've bitten the bullet and signed up for the fantastic acoustic guitar making course here! I am a complete novice with any sort of woodworking... so this may end up being a little hard than ...

Yikes! that's a lot of work, @Wayne_F on yer shoulder, no doubt. I was fortunate to find a couple of guitar builders whom sent me a couple of neck blanks at a fantastic price...2 3/8" x 4 1/4" Quart...

@Wayne_F Then I'll throw a new blade on there and split the blank. Wish me luck just in case. You don't neex any luck, you've got all you need there, I'm envious of your bandsaw. Mine can only cut a...

The journey begins @Wayne _F

@wayne_f Looking good Wayne, keep going.

Thanks to @Darrenking for all the goodies to make this possible: Attachment : 20210902_160639.jpg Attachment : 20210902_160618.jpg Attachment : 20210902_160605.jpg Attachment :...

@wayne_f Great start Wayne. Can I ask how you managed to make an accurate neck taper template? I just can't seem to get mine perfectly even. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@wayne_f Youve made a great start there, looks like you're very organised and methodical, thats a good way to work. On my first guitar, I kind of made it up as I went along, making templates and jigs ...

Maybe I should go with a bolt-on neck since 1" blanks come in longer sizes. Hi @wayne_f You should be able to ask for a longer blank, no matter who your wood supplier is. Just ask 😉I think you would ...

Hey @wayne_f. I really like the drawing and I like the headstock. Looks like you are all ready to start making saw dust. I'm in eastern canada and could not justify the cost of stewmac for most stuff....
