@cheesewhisk Hey Drill Sergeant, how are you feeling about things today? Must better I bet? It’s gonna look superb this guitar, I can’t wait to see...

@robin Ok, those swirls are where you haven’t sanded out the scratches properly from coarser grits of paper. It’s easily done so don’t beat yourself u...

@whyte Hello Pete, welcome to the forum and a life changing experience. Prepare for skill building, for mistakes to be made, for solutions to be found...

@cheesewhisk Yeah! Nice work! See, walk away, come back and fix it. Boom! Looks great. 👍

@wayne_f It may not be a problem, just keep going and see what happens. If it looks like it will be a problem, you could always reinforce it by fillin...

@mattbeels Hey Matt, how’s things? Not seen you for a bit, how’s the shop? Sorry to hear about your drilling accident too, especially on a customer’s ...

Time for my least favourite job, a spot of soldering.

@bpower A very nice guitar well made and a great little video from you wife. Congratulations to both of you. 🎯💯👍

@robin Very nice work Robin, it looks great. I like its offset appearance and the colour blending is wonderful. I like your attention to detail with t...
