@clinton Beautiful grain and finish!

Practicing now on a pine guitar. I have all of the jigs made but out of too much excitement I cut out the body BEFORE engaging in any routing steps. U...

This one blows my mind. Not just the exceptionalism of the guitarist, but the fact that there is not a single weak link in the band. Not one.

Mark Twain, a classic American Humorist once quipped "Don't let your schoolin' interfere with your education". Words to live by and words that I live ...

BTW, Pat Metheny is my favorite musician of all time. Jaco Pastorius is my second favorite. Lyle Mays is my third. So, shouldn't the definiti...

@boo Truth be told and my apologies to fellow Americans here but I am betting they are well aware of this too, but most Americans are egocentric na...

Thanks, I changed the size of the PDF to A4, but the master settings for the laptop were still set to letter. Once I defaulted the system printer sett...

OK, starting off here with putting forth a bad first impression. First of all, the wood supplier chalked a Fender Jazz Bass on the blank, not a strat,...

Here's a picture of the pattern on top of a body blank that has a Fender Strat chalked on it. Notice the size difference.

Memphis BTW is only about 1200 km NW of me so it's getting closer!

BTW, I ordered a ton of stuff on 2022.03.01 and it JUST found its way to Memphis Tennessee! International shipping has been ridiculously slow since th...

Done! Just put the jig in the basket. Mark may not get rich from me but he'll be able to enjoy a few extra pints this month at least. I figure he dese...

I'm not really very political, but here's a brief summary on Scotland's membership of the EU. During the Scottish Independence Referendum (Indyref) ...

The only bit that @boo missed out is that Scotland's inclusion in the United Kingdom is just a temporary arrangement. Here's an open question for ...
