Count me in as well, Please

Hey all After hours and hours of work on my ambrosia maple back, (and after completing the custom inlay...) my cat knocked my mold on top of it and destroyed it. :evil: Cats lucky to be alive...more on that later.... The long and short of it is that I bought a new cherry back and side set to replace...

Bob I appreciate the kind words and hope you are able to shrink the pic size so I could see it. You should be able to shrink it fairly easily in paint, if you get a chance, I would love to see it!

I used 3 150 watt bulbs.

First Side Bending Machine.jpg Hello all After building my first guitar under Al Carruths guidance over a year ago (has it already been that long??) , I set out to gather everything I needed to get going in this addicting craft.... After a little over a year of tool collecting, radius dish collecti...

Having just completed my DIY heat pipe, I would now like to build my own rosette cutter...however, there is very little information online about this. My hope is that some of you can post some tips, tricks, and maybe even some of your own designs for consideration. Any help would be greatly apprecia...

Thanks to all! My DIY Heating Pipe is now finished! Thanks again, Bob! I used U bolts with couplers to extend the distance from the wood base to the pipe. Tested it out. Works like a charm http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q673/Christopher_Perkins/HomemadeSideBender_zpse89c113d.jpg http://i1353.ph...

I can't thank you enough! This was HUGELY helpful and thanks to your help, HUGELY successful. Dimmer unit is now completed....now to tackle my pipe problems...A hole is now stripped. Grrrr. Maybe ill just go get some U bolts and be done with it. Thanks again

ok guys, i purchased all the items necessary for the diy bending pipe here: http://www.soundsalon.com/Make_a_Bending_Iron.html and I have run into a few problems. First problem, is upon unscrewing and removing the plastic handle to "reveal the wiring", I realized that all the interior wiri...

david, funny you mention surplus granite, as i have collected many sizes already and was wondering if they might come in handy

Thanks a million for the advice, i will certainly heed this warning.

my workbench is already on its way, its the HF oak workstation with the vice, and hopefully it will be sufficient to start off with. I also realize that some power tools are a necessity, and since my wife is no stranger to this in house equipment (please hold all redneck jokes....shes a professional...

Would u mind posting some pics? This sound like exactly the sort of thing I was looking for! ! I would love to see if its something I could build relatively easy...

Acoustics to start. I've been alloted a corner of the livingroom for now, and yes, craigslist is an option around here

Ok, I have a budget of only 1000 to purchase all the tools I need toget started with guitar building and i am finishing up my list. Bearing this in mind, and knowing there are others much more experienced than I , I realize that I may be overlooking some things. If given this budget as a beginner, w...

I was thinking for an acoustic. Also, my mistake, I misread...there isn't going to be a 100 challenge in april...it was last april bummer. Sorry. I'm a mimf forum newbie, haven't really found my way around here yet

Any suggested uses for the above woods? These are woods locally available near me, and I am thinking of doing the 100 challenge in april...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I am going to be attempting the DIY bending Iron build shortly (the design that employs a barbeque lighter as the heating element, and a circular switch). Would it work the same way with a less expensive slider style switch (in place of the circular type)? Also...how do you protect the wiring from h...
