Really brilliant session - well done Mark! The new widget does open up some options - like you did today you could run a video and add commentary li...

Just to complicate things..... The centre part of a Firebird is thicker than the wings - so there is a little step top and bottom - the plans I boug...

Thanks Mark!

Nearly messed up earlier...... I have been routing control cavities - one for the switch and one for the pots. I made patterns for the cavities an...

Pics on the Phoenix thread - going well but lots of thinking to do!

How do I fix the wings in place - just good flat surfaces and glue or dowels or something else?

Lower wing glued together and cut out - there is a channel routed into the middle Walnut layer to take wires from the switch and pickup cavities (when...

The copper stuff i used has conductive adhesive so you just overlap to get electrical continuity and you can solder to it to connect a ground if you n...

I've used copper tape and shielding paint. The only before/after I can offer is from my Mexican Strat - when I got it is only had some foil on the s...

The neck has been profiled - truss rod fillet glued in, planed and scraped flat. The upper wing has been routed to final shape - the lower wing will...

I have glued up and bandsawed the upper wing. Straight from the bandsaw. I am trying to decide what to do to the edges - just a 6mm round over or a...

All my router bits are 1/4”......

My Titan bandsaw (£109) has a maximum cut depth of 85mm - replaced the stock blade with one from Tuff Saws (spec from Mark’s tool list - 6 tpi 3/8”) -...

Top of fretboard to bottom of string about 3-4mm. The drawing is easy to change - cut wood not quite as easy.....

Because I needed a different neck break angle from my Bandsman I built a new jig to do neck and body break angle - I had bought some Firebird drawings...

Apart from the sound hole and some extra routing it is a stock Bandsman built from the online course.

My build from a Bailey kit - plays and sound really good!

I have done two courses with Mark but when I built my first at home I bought a (slightly customised) kit from Mark - all the bits were the correct thi...

Hi Hogan and welcome..... This is a very friendly place - lots of really good advice - looking forward to watching your builds! Bill

I have thicknessed the headstock and started to shape it - also trimmed the neck a bit... Just thought I would try bits in roughly the right places....
