(I would have a look tomorrow but it’s my wedding anniversary) @boo – sorry, I don’t really understand the problem … “Good morning Mrs Boo, here’s a card, I’m just off to the workshop, call me when lunch is ready”… Read more»

Just checked with the courier’s tracking system @Boo – it’s still “on its way” to you.
Though I had something delivered today (same courier company) before they’d even told me that it was out for delivery! -

Be interested to hear what you make of it.

Is it now just a circular saw on a track Mine is just that @boo. The problem I have with it is that the track tends to wander. It’s supposed to have non-slip material on the base, but it doesn’t… Read more»

Thanks @frocesterbill @boo Half of your methods are similar to mine! But I should definitely make more use of the factory-made straight edges on the MDF sheets – that’s going to save half the job. I prefer a… Read more»

I’ve got something like that on a fretboard on one of my guitars.
Macassar ebony? -

@boo

That’s something I’d not seen before!

@boo I’m using a 1” blank that is long enough for me to cut pieces off to stack at the heal and headstock ends. That’s what I had intended doing with 33mm thick mahogany plank, Mark looked at the grain… Read more»

@boo I think you’re next in line to test drive the review model jig? I’ve given it a test drive or two, and @darrenking is tweaking it very slightly based on the feedback, but it’d be good to have… Read more»
