No way you're a Glasscock. My grandmother was a Glasscock, are you kin to any Pearsons or Thomases?

So I worked on getting the top ready to glue down today, but it's not gonna go together easily. I flexed the top a little today, and heard a little po...

Picked this up again today, did some looking and measuring again, and I have settled on a back access shape. Now I can finally move forward on the bod...

HA! Imagine finding a guy from the US on a UK forum, who's 30 minutes east of you. I'm over in Bowling Green, @rathius . That guitar looks awesome a...

Haven't had time to fool with this over the summer. Things have gotten away from me a bit but I now have 14 guitar pedal designs up through the engine...

Next up, I had already glued up the top, which you got a glimpse of up above this post. It's still thicker than I want, but it's pretty soft too s...

Got a little work done on this this week, last week of school. Hopefully things continue going well, however I don't like the way the CNC software for...

Due to some other obligations, I haven't made it as far as I'd like to by now. I did get the top jointed and glued, and lightly sanded, but not thickn...

I am more concerned about glue joint area than I am side wall strength. My bridge and fretwire showed up today, so I got to ogle the guitar jewelry a ...

More work on this today. (And the Uke!) I sanded the first 6 coats of clear coat on the Ukulele with some 800 grit, making sure NOT to cut through, ...

The mildew is mostly contained and nothing touched it that didn't also cause issues. I ran the boards through the thickness sander and was able to get...

Copied the body outline and cut it out, layed it over the body blank to see what it could be. I found the bridge and fretwire I want to use at a good ...

Did a little sketching, the only things that are actually measured are scale length, maximum string spacing possible, and the neck-to-body joint locat...

I think I have a plan now. 27.5" scale length, bone nut (because I have half a dozen bone blanks) sapele body, sapele neck (once I find a piece the ri...

Tomorrow I have to go in to school and do some cleaning up. I'll take photos of the two one-piece blanks I have, and the top that I want to use. Mor...

One of these days I have to try again to get the body properly finished. After that, just have to tidy up the pickguard and get the second pickup woun...

So, my string gauges as recommended to me by D'Addarrio and Ernie Ball: Ernie Ball Recommendation: Strings:Heavy gauge - 20lbs tensionHigh G 0.014...

17" scale-would be considered a "tenor" uke. I have the explorer body that is getting the gibson style bridge so I haven't cut the neck pocket yet bec...

Been a long time-and it's still not finished. I did make some progress but the color's gotta be cut back and done again, I did not sand to a fine enou...
