@tv1010101 Another mishap with the router today and split an edge of the heel. I wedged the split open and doused it with superglue. I think most of ...
Hi Seth I'm also on my first build and following Mark's course, looks like I'm at much the same stage as you. I'm doing a mahogany set neck for my f...
Have you got a jigsaw? @johnnierox-boo I do have a jigsaw but iv'e bought the wrong type of blades (I hadn't realised there were different types...
I'm never quite sure what day of the week it is, I'm going to be lost without my Wednesday and Saturday reminders.
It sounds quite idyllic where you are with all the wildlife, I’m quite envious @johnnierox-boo Iv'e got all the wildlife but iv'e not got access ...

Didn't get a lot done today due to the horizontal rain. But I did manage to knock up a headstock angle jig. I also repaired my truss rod slot rea...

The truss rod slot didn't go well. I had a practice on a bit of scrap and although my router edge guide is a bit shoogley, it turned out ok. Not so go...
I got a bigger see through base made for my router now from 6mm makralon. Also glued two cheeks on to the neck to make it wide enough for the headsto...
I've got a 6 foot long strip of 12V LEDs pinned to the underside of a shelf above my workbench. Also an old angle poise lamp attached to the same she...
Iv'e got started on the neck at last. I drilled and screwed the base plate my power saw to the underside of my ancient black & decker workma...
