@boo It’s fair enough using Aldi sanders or similar, crack on. I use a cheap Draper random orbital sander that I bought a few years ago when ...

@nsj Yes, it's oak and mahogany. The oak was a whisky barrel top, horrible to work with, I'll not be doing again. I think the sunken bridge looks...

Fast forward to now. Something went wrong when I was fitting the neck/body joint. I got a good clean joint but I must have altered the neck angle an...

@jamesbisset Thinking out loud here: In 3D modelling, you usually build the shape and then wrap it in a texture - often a high res tiled photo of...

@swepri @robinMaybe I worry too much, but is the middle part wide enough to fit the studs for the bridge/tailpiece? If a tune 'o matic bridge is ...

@tv101 When you make an electric, but hollow out some/all of the body, how thick do you need to leave the side walls to retain sufficient strength...

@nsj Maybe sandpaper on a brush handle Thats exactly how to do it. You just need different diameter brush handles to match the radius of the ...

@nsj That burl guitar looks amazing. @tv101hindsight is fantastic though isn't it? So useful! NOT! Lol I once told an old managing director t...
