Hi Shrek, Where should I begin.... First of all, I need more time because I/we do have a job, dogs, cats, horses, a garden, guitar and a Girlfriend but after that, I can build. Things that go wrong.... mmmmm dont wanna tell.... oke.... ill tell you.... For cutting the channel for the rosette I used a nail and a popstickle (? the wooden stick in a ice cream?) and I think the nail got a bit loose so the circle got a little oval. This I had to correct and so the channel got a litle to wide, solved it with a extra strip of wood on the outside of the rosette. The head did not get the shape I had planned, very close but I hate it when its off, just a few mm but still, dont like it. Today I started planing the top to thickness but the top keeps slipping and I have to get some cork to glue on a pad so that if I plane the top, it stays where I clamped it. The plane I use... well, dont know whats wrong with that but I can shave myself with it but it keeps chiping out, just a little at some spots but thats not good. sharpend it in the right angle, chipbreaker a hair behind the edge but still chipout..... [:@] But, this is the third guitar I am building and its going better then the first and second so I dont complain. What I would have done different.... ehhhh.... let somebody else sharpen my tools? No, so far it is going oke, no big goofs just minor things and it will be the best I have made so far. Cheers to u 2 Rob.
