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...

@markbailey Maybe something on the quality of tuners. I bought a cheap set for the bitsocaster that I assembled, the posts rattle about in their ho...

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...

@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.
