@usadave That’s a beautiful build Dave, well done. 👍 Great advice from everyone commenting already. Nothing I can add to that really. The more you ...
@stephen-hayes Certainly a great start would be to fully insulate the whole building.
@robin I’m amazed with this acoustic build of yours, I’m slowly being convinced to have a go myself. And……. I recognise that bandsaw. Still going s...
Hi Stephen, I generally work on my guitar builds in the winter, in the house. I have a spare room that is converted into a small indoor workshop. Howe...
@nsj Yeah that would be helpful, thanks. 👍
My vice turned up today, it's quite big. 😂 It fits in place perfectly but it will be a bit of a challenge to install it. I'll probably have to drill...

@robin 😂 Brilliant! I bet your wife loves that. It must seem like everyone apart from her, to her.
@swepri 😂 Nope, it’s going to be encased in a glass cabinet. Oh, just realised I need to build a glass cabinet. 😂
@robin Hahaha….. Nice one Robin, that’s really cool. I love the fact that your wife saw rubbish and you saw a bending iron. I’m exactly the same, I ne...
@nickkuk Sounds like you have everything under control, I agree with all of that. Yeah I think that when things are rough cut, it reminds me of Cee...
Used a small router to hog out the majority to the waste, then fine cut the rest out with chisels. Glued one in and left it overnight. I’ll plane it d...
Made my butterflies in inlay along the joint.
