I made these:

They look great, I'll bet you get a big kick from playing them, or hearing someone else do so.

Cheers,

Well, like any woodworker I just look at them as a series of minor mistakes. :)
They play pretty well though- I was a pro player before I became a builder so I know what I like in that regard.

I'm hoping the next few are a step up in terms of finish and overall build quality.

Very nice. I can almost hear the intonation!

I regret selling my acoustic. Saves having to plug in for every practice!
Did you find building and guitar-playing don't go together very well? I am forever knocking my fingers about. So far nothing serious, but the risk is always there.

Cheers

Very much so.

A couple of Welsh Stick Chairs after John Brown.


They have taken most of the summer but kept me out of mischief.

Stunning =D>

Sorry I missed this NoLegs. Thanks.
It's bad form, I know, but I must admit to walking around with a self-satisfied smile.

A built-in and floating shelves I made last week, they'll be painted white

Evening good people, total newbie here, be nice!

First things I've made (other than a few electric guitars) which I'm not too embarrassed to show people!

A simple box of reclaimed mahogany

I love seeing all the good stuff you guys make. Those chairs are amazing. I gather inspiration from you people, thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge.

Cheers

Rosewood & beech end grain chopping board for my brothers wedding present. His bride is Chinese, hence the traditional double happiness symbol. The designs go through like a stick of rock, albeit the names were reversed so they don't read backwards on one face.

Nice one, Setch. I do hope you spelt it correctly :lol:

Made this for my little girls birthday this week, was not only the last thing I made, but also the first thing I made - got the bug now!

What a delightful, charming thing you have made, Littlemantodo. I do hope your little girl enjoys playing with it :)

And Jamesevenlode, I'm always keen on seeing others' luthiery - nice finish on both guitars :) Care to give any construction details?

Cheers,
Adam

That looks like very intricate work. Especially around the names, well done!

Thanks XY! It was fiddly work, and I only just had enough rosewood, and barely enough time to get it done. Suprisingly, the names were relatively easy, even though they're composed of about 70 components.
