Re: New Tassie member(Don't hold that against me!!)

Lillian’s suggestion to look up a Men’s Shed is a good one (sorry Lillian - that is the name that they go by in Australia. They do not exclude women, but the name makes a very gendered assumption about who would want to use them). It could give you good access to bigger tools like a thickness sande...

Well, that turned out rather nicely. I think I'll do just one more........................... :P Beautiful job Daniel :D :D Haha, thank you very much!

Re: New Tassie member(Don't hold that against me!!)

Wow, that's a fantastic looking instrument! Great job on the build. Thank you very much Fisherman! I agree that you produced a really fine looking and sounding guitar - an outstanding outcome for a first try. All of that planning paid off. You say that you want to make another - and that is no surp...

Re: New Tassie member(Don't hold that against me!!)

That is an extremely neat build for a first go. Interesting that few people stop at one! If you are not aware of Trevor Gore and are interested in a more analytical take on guitar design and build you should take a look. Cheers Dave Thank you Dave! I was quite proud of my cleanliness throughout the...

Re: New Tassie member(Don't hold that against me!!)

That s a nicely executed cutaway Steve Thank you very much Steve! It added a day to the overall build. The other guys in my class finished the day before me. I had dreams of mitering every corner, but that would have added so much extra time to the build! It was an unusual class for Aaron Fenech, a...

Nice work mate. Whats the finish? Proof that the best instruments have a lot of planning behind them.
I knew I would have missed some detail!
It a nitro-cellulose finish, just from a rattle can.

New Tassie member(Don't hold that against me!!)

Good morning all! Glad to be here finally after being a stalker for some time. I'm primarily a performer, but also seriously distracted by beautiful guitars, and how they are built! Just over two years ago, I finally wetted my appetite by building an acoustic guitar with Aaron Fenech in Miami, Gold ...
