Australian/New Zealand Luthiers Forum

Nice work Pete....making guitars and ukes is a bit like having a baby. A lot of grief and pain along the way but in the end it's all worth it.

Ok all the tops have been sold. Thanks Wayne and Trent.

Have had these up on buy and sale for a while. Need to get rid of them so I've added price reduction for multiple top purchases.

Pete there are time limits for edits (30mins) and post deletion (15mins). Unfortunately not well publicized. The reasons for this are complex but stem back to issues with a couple of now departed members a few years back.

So Iam still " In "?

Looks like it....

What forum culture....I think most people on this forum would agree that the ANZLF is one of the more "laid back" and informal of the luthiery forums. Occasionally we take the piss but in all cases it's well deserved and as far as excluding people from the forum....that occurs very rarely and in all...

Pete, with due respect what I said was "Time to start using the forum's search feature Pete". I then provided a link to a very extensive discussion on rope binding including which includes a reference to an article in American Lutherie written by Graham MacDonald on the subject. It's not a matter of...

Time to start using the forum's search feature Pete :) http://www.anzlf.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8251&p=88361&hilit=rope+binding#p88361 I like the old style rope bindings applied to some of the old Nunes Ukuleles. Cannot seem to find anything similar that is obtainable. Can anybody please give me som...

Martin. The guitar is absolutely beautiful. You must feel so proud of yourself. I like the swept back compensated bridge design. Must have been a swear to get the bend on the cut out? Lovely work. Pete Thanks Pete, yeah that cut away was a challenge...I went through 3 side sets before I got it right.

Photo size shouldn't be an issue. From memory maximum image size is currently set to 30Meg

Well that obviously didn't work too well

I have tried to download the pics directly to the forum but do not know how to.

See here Pete: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8413

Ok here's a quick run down on how to post photos directly to the forum. 1. At bottom of post window select "Attachments" tab. Screen Shot 2019-03-09 at 1.44.37 pm.png 2. Select "add files" and file explorer/finder will pop up. Screen Shot 2019-03-09 at 1.44.59 pm.png 3. Select the jpeg file you want...

LOL..thanks Wayne. In reality I just bumble along and occasionally something half decent gets produced. I have seen your previous construction postings of this guitar build. The final result is amazing! Your diligence and patience helps to remind me to continue on and overcome any challenges that ma...

LOL yes it's your guitar. I hope the thing hasn't fallen apart yet

I am 68 and not Savvy in this department .

I'm 61....so age is no excuse

Pete, it's a lot easier if you upload your pics directly to the forum rather than via an image service.

Hi Ray, I'm no expert, I see that it's a re fret so I assume the guitar is a clients. Is it possible that they have used a polish containing silicone?

My thoughts as well.

Drawing up a full scale plan is mandatory..esp when youre working out string runs from nut to tuners with a straight pull headstock. Looking forward to seeing this one come together. Thanks Martin. I had studied your photos and figured that is what you did. At the moment I have drawn mine out on pap...

If you ask Trevor he'll sign the books for you which means when he dies they'll be worth a mint

Ha ha...okay you win

What do I look for?.
I mean how many books are there and where can I get hold if them?
Pete

Unfortunately that's not an acceptable excuse for not having them

I don't have them but thanks any way.

Pete, you won't get any hassles on this forum unless you engage in unwarranted abuse, use the forum to advertise your products without first checking with the mods...or you just carry on like a total w**er.

I am going to stick my neck out here and probs get a lot of hassle but.....

The body is that of a guitar but the strings and tuning are that of a Bouzouki. My bet is it will sound more like a Bouzouki than a guitar. I am going to stick my neck out here and probs get a lot of hassle but..... Sorry.....IMHO ....I cannot see that instrument as being called a Bouzouki. It looks...

Rod,

Pics upload the way they're oriented in original file. I'll look at your post over the weekend and see if I can fix things. Will have to save pics, rotate and re-upload.
