@springhead watch this space and Darren is an excellent teacher!
If i do more teaching there will be much more hand tools involved, i look at it as if you want to do more at home, you don't need that many tools, even the fret slots are marked out by hand
(formerly customkits)
Handle cover glued on to the handle using dead animals and tightly bound using an inner tube from my mums wheelchair (it’s ok, she never goes out anyway).
Handle marked out for carving...
Carving the handle:
Handle Achilles shaped.
Handle panty line shaped.
Handle roughed out but looking lubberly.
Sexy side view.
Coy “laying on its front back to camera” shot.
Handle fitted into the handle holder socket...
And again from tbe front (dead animal product shown on handle cover - that will be cleaned up at some point)
So there you go!... poke that up your bum holes Gibson...
Starting to look like a guitar now, finally
(formerly customkits)

Before and after darkening, looks good for Indian rosewood

hows the dc?
so a bit of catch up...
drum roll please!...
From last week, the handle finally nailed into the handle holder using dead animal products...
Going to be a bitch to play with the clamps on it tho’!...
decided to remove the clamps from the handle as it was suggested it might hamper playing it...
so... pics of the handle sticky taped in to the handle holder socket below!!!!!
Little bit more work and itll it’ll be ready for paint...
purple sparkle was a genuine 50’s colour right? Right?...
but...
we is back on the case wiv the build innit!...
so,
turny things added to the end of the handle...
Shiny lines levelled so it’ll play really good...
More updates after lunch!...
