@steveadams This should be a link to the video, I was wrong, that bit (refered to as the truss rod thing) isn't welded. At about 5 mins in, Mark ...
@steveadams I haven't built an acoustic yet, so can't comment on the angle. I do rembemer watching a video of Mark making that type of truss rod. I'...
@poco7 I'm also finding out that international A4, is slightly different than USA Letter size we are 8.5" x 11" where international is 8.25" ...

@ndakota 22/06/2021 7:45 am That's beautiful! That is what i would like to get! Is that still pine or you combined 2 types of woo...
@ndakota I quite like the white colour of the pine, the other side is brown though.
@ndakota This is the finish that I got on pine with Danish Oil, I think it was three coats. As for disposal of the oiled cloths, I layed mine out on...
@blake A nicely carved neck joint there, a good job well done.
@tej . I’ve managed to clean it up fairly well but now the wood is lighter on two frets where I’ve sanded and scraped. Were you sanding across...
