Thanks Phil, I think…. Although it could be a “Hot Dayum” what does this idiot think he’s doing? Lol.
@Pabs
Thanks Craig, but I can’t take any credit for the beading jig. I just adapted someone else’s idea to work with a guitar.
@Woks
Thanks Warren, it’s not so pretty IRL, but I am hoping that the binding will hide all my mistakes. It will actually be 3 layers of binding, cream/black/cream. I probably should have used some purfling but I didn’t fancy doing a second channel for that.
@Frankie
Thanks mate, I wish I could take some credit, but I stole it from the interwebs.
@Redneck
Thanks mate. Woks is right, as usual.
I am using a Pitbull neck, an assortment of hardware and some cheap-as bits of pine. If it all goes belly up, and I have every expectation that it will, I will just bin the body and reuse the neck and hardware on some other wacky experiment.
Until I started making these Pitbull guitars I had zero experience in working with wood. But building the kits I picked up a few skills and now I think, what the heck, that sounds like a good idea, I might give it a go.
The hand tools bit is just me having too much spare time on my hands.
