@darrenking I'd be interested in a full size paper print. Iv'e been drawing my next guitar using SolidWorks, but I only have an A4 printer. Can you w...

And a preview, with the neck template and bridge sitting in place, of what it might look like.

Another step forward, thats the cap glued and clamped.

@tv1010101 Iv'e just found this template on my internet pop up adverts, looks like I'm not the first to have done out of alignment f holes. I didn't ...

@tv1010101 The bottom one is smaller, there's a few reasons why. I originally hadn't intended to have f holes at all. The top one is there and is s...

Iv'e started on the cap for my under the caravan scrapwood guitar. I'd tried unsuccessfully to disguise the black stained nail holes. So with a bit of...

@frocesterbill Yes it's great for the well being. As I'm working outside a lot of the time, so as not to fill my hut and lungs with dust, my guitar ha...

@tv1010101 I had thought that your scratch plate was another clever peice of wood. So you've answered your own question, having the photo printed on ...

@tv1010101 I've just been reading about inkjet waterslide transfers. Someone had made woodgrain effect transfers, I think it was for a model railway w...

@darrenking Learning to play guitar and watching Mark's livestreams was only supposed to to pass the time while I was in lockdown and shielding, now ...

@tv1010101 I'll give it a go and time will tell. It'll be a couple of weeks before I can go to collect the mahogany, I should be ready to start the ...

A freind has offered me a piece of mahogany that has been laying in his farm workshop for 15 years. He reckons I could get four necks out of it. It's ...

@johnnierox-boo Thanks John, my router was falling into the cavity doing the larger bit, I'll need to make a wider router base plate soon.

You're all so lucky to have so much cluttered space. I'm working in a 8' x 6' hut that also stores my sailing gear, outboard motors, lawn mower and an...

I've moved on a bit today and got some body cavities routed.

In the spirit of building my fisrt guitar from scrap wood, I'm still searching for a bit of suitable neck timber. In my past working days we used a wo...

@tv1010101 I'm not in a Brazilian forest, but at Knapdale forest a bit further up the scottish west coast from Mark. The pine is the last piece of...

@tv1010101 I did do the tap test, the pine sounded dead. The hardwood did have a ring, despite it being filthy, it had been a part of a boat's floor...
