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...

@david-johnson09 If you've got plastic corks in these bottles, iv'e found that they're good for cleaning sand paper.

I think I'd like to join in on a workshop course and build an acoustic, when Mark's allowed to have students in again.

@marcel I was the goalkeeper too. Iv'e been trying to learn to play guitar for over 50 years, maybe I should try bass.

I think thats a very clever fingerboard.

@david-johnson09 thanks for that, I got my flat chisels sharp enough to shave my wrist. Now that I've watched that video I'll have another go at the ...

@darrenking I think I'll go with the hidden under the fretboard method as I haven't managed to make an invisible joint on anything else yet. And you...

@darrenking I notice that you have the scarf joint under the fretboard rather than on the headstock. I'm in two minds as to which method is best. I c...

@johnnierox-boo What part of our lovely country are you planning on moving to John? My home is near Falkirk, but I spend most of my time in a remote...

@tv1010101 Yes, your wood database link sums it up and agrees with my own findings on the keruing. So not suitable for musical instruments. I'm not ...

@rocknroller912 Just as you said, the keruing is very hard to glue, I had left a couple pieces glued and clamped for 24 hours, they just knocked ap...

@rocknroller912 Thanks for that information, that's just what I needed to know to stop me doing something stupid. This particular piece came from whe...

@tv1010101 Keruing is maybe just a general name for various species, I might as well give it try, somebody has to be the first. At the very least I...

The clamps are off and the cap routed to the body profile, I'm really pleased with the nice clean joint line. The remaing stained nail holes wiil disa...

@darrenking No problem, I ignored the NCG bit, I assumed it was somè modern technology that iv'e missed out on.
