I was passing by, having not been here for a while, and just had to check out all the builds (especially acoustics). I must admit that I was gobsmacke...
Hi, and a warm welcome from down South. This is a brilliant place for expert advice and support. When things don't go the way you expected you will di...
Brilliant! I've kept sawdust in old coffee jars just in case. That's why there's not a lot of space left. Oh and I have an area just for clamps. There...
Hi from me too. Looks like you've come to the right place. I built an acoustic a while back and learned a lot from the on-line course. Best present...
and a warm welcome from me as well. I took a while to actually get started but then got a tad obsessed.... thankfully I'm not over that yet. Enjoy t...
and a Happy New Year to everyone, especially Mark and Carol, and to you too (though you were included in the 'everyone' anyway). By the way, what da...
Hi and welcome from a wet and windy walk back from my shed. Yes, don't forget the pictures. I really wish I had taken more when building my guit...

It's raining again so I'm 'catching up' on the amazing builds from everyone. I was thinking about what you said with regards to resonant frequency can...
@frocesterbill With dimensions I really agree on this point. I've just binned a whole load of Post-its with various important dimensions scribbled ove...
This is really interesting, though I really have absolutely no advice to offer here. Having spent some time reading about the flame resistant properti...
Hi Bill Many thanks for posting these pics. I do find it interesting to see other people's builds, and their very tidy workshops. So the more the merr...
Brilliant... Many thanks for that. I am reminded of the classic Billy Connolly story. Yes, I know it's not about guitar making per se, however, there ...
@frocesterbill That's a tricky one. There's the coefficient of apparent contraction due to extreme cold, various variable thresholds (pressure, pain a...
I have to agree with all that's been said about appropriate 'pacing', comestible sampling and beverage top-ups. I was going to mention something about...
