Re: My new hobby. First result

How did you go with it Nick? I tried some 20 or so years ago and it was a bit harder than it seems. Getting the temperature just right and consistent through the piece was tricky.

Re: First build compete

It's alright Col, nothing wrong with a cock up or two, or three, or four, or...... :lol:
It's all a good learning experience and from what I can see in the photo's you've coped with most of the problems pretty well.
Learn from No. 1, move onto No. 2 and keep having fun . :D

Re: hallo allemaal ( newby from the netherlands )

G'day and welcome Frans, If your after aussie tonewoods have a look at Tim Spittle's sale here next weekend. He usually has a very nice selection of woods on offer. Another option if you want a completely "Aussie" guitar is a tonewood pack from Thomas Lloyd Guitars http://thomaslloydguitars.com.au/ ...
