it's a bit addictive ! I don't remember seeing any warning on the videos. I'm only part way through my fisrt build and now iv'e been and gone and ...

I'm guessing the conker fights are banned in schools nowadays @tv1010101 Yes it seems to be wrong in so many ways, I don't think that kids are a...

So, who fancies a conker fight at play time ??? Remember to wear your full safety gear.

Part of the fun iv'e been having is doing things for myself, ie making templates. I try to take the same approach with jigs as and when I need them. I...

Now that our photos are back, here's my latest one. I tried a bit of fretboard oil where the neck cutout will be, looks like the colour will come up n...

Thats a nice piece of work. I also like the self assembly idea, easier to package and less likely to be damaged in transit. Just a thought on the tap...

@johnnierox-boo Have you lined the humbucker cavities with copper foil, or is that the colour of the wood. I haven't reached that stage, but I though...

I bought some used pots from ebay, I got into a message discussion with the guy and told him what I was doing, I think he has sent me his entire spare...

@johnnierox-boo Are you buying these locally in Falkirk. I'm going home to Falkirk tomorrow for a few days, provided landslips and floods allow me t...

@deej The neck build was the first of Mark's live streams that I watched, I think I was hooked there and then. I only stumbled on it by chance, I was...

@eddie6string I like your "CR8" that looks good. I quite like the idea of a whisky barrel top body and trying to keep the original print.

I'm so looking forward to making my first neck, I should be starting that next week.

My maybe-mahogany cover plate photo has appeared in the "My Media" section.

Iv'e seen others using wood to make a rear cavity cover. Iv'e not got any plastic, so I thought I'd have go using an offcut from my maybe-mahogany cap...
