Thread: Challenging the challenged

This will be interesting.....

I think there needs to be some rule to stop Andrew going for a month without sleeping. That puts him at an unfair advantage over those of us who need a few hours sleep each day.

I think a month without sleeping is just what's needed to slow him down, then
in creep all those stupid mistakes that happen when the mind keeps wanting to shut down.

I'm wondering if Andrew B has any truckies in his family supplying him with a
steady supply of 'eye-openers'.

hahaha!!! Bit of no-doze for andy!!!

PUSSY'S!

you sleep... you lose!!


today i was helping the bloke across the road put up his range hood and noticed he had stainless kick boards made up.....
so we got talking and .... well.... now once i find someone to help me do the cad drawings i will be getting some nice templates made up

no no-doze for me....
no truckies in the family either lol....

now i just need to work out how to get this stew mac fret slotting thingo....

untill then, i will need to find someone to cut me a few fretboards *looks at stu*


i just realised i got my hands on coppies of two guitar building books..... im off to read (look at pictures) lol

heres my new pile......


lol naa just joking

Aussie is having internet troubles, so he asked if i could throw up a pic of his pile untill he gets back online......
(dont know why he cant just wait... lazy b*atch.... lol)



so yea that Aussies pile (of crap)

and he offered to send me a nice rosewood fingerboard for my troubles...
Thanks Aussie

lol

Once this starts, would it be worth starting separate threads? Andy B's Challenge Build; Aussie's Challenge Build; etc. Just so's it's a little easier to keep track of.

And will there be one titled: Floody's Challenge Build??

You guys sure need a lot of parts, Im still deciding whether I want frets or not or whether its a fiddle or a guitar. There are a couple of indulgences if I may. The Rose Myrtle may still be too wet, I reserve the right to use other timber if it is. The other is that I have some Ebony pending. If that arrives it will be the fingerboard and bridge,

I think separate builds.
I would love to join this but sadly all my parts wont be ready in time. Im still waiting for my body and have only just started looking at fretboards. so all i have is the wood for the neck, and my pups and bridge came yesterday. Im mighty happy with them too. Look very good quality. I will start one for my build but unfortunately prob a week or so too late for this challenge

Personally, I reckon you should be able to start up to the 29th June. If you start late, more pressure

Waddya reckon Aussie?

sounds good to me lol

yea i have some parts to order/waiting for some crap ro arrive......

maybe we should give it a week or 3 to do our sketches and get parts together then start.....

no big loss.... just extra time to plan


the seperate thread idea sounds ok i guess lol

hey floody.... i now have a seven string hardtail on the way lololol
why couldnt i get that before i did the trem rout

why does no one sell seven string machine heads
(im really interested in those wierd knob looking steinberger machine heads lol....)

i really need to win lotto

here it is

hey bricks, whats that in the 4th photo?

and looks like your sending all of us a pack of strings too.... what a nice guy

lol

Hi all,

I must send my appologies for not participating in this. Unfortunatley I will be away for 4 of the 8 weeks, and will not be in a position to build anything new in the first 4. I will keep an eye on everyone's progress and will enjoy watching the contest unfold.

Only one guitar Andrew? Losing form I think.

Cheers,

Peter
