If you think you have seen it or something like it before you probably have. Built similar guitar for a friend last year that worked out so well I just had to do one for myself. It took a while due to...

To avoid breakout I no longer route the headstock profile and use the method described by Brian here... I think I would try sanding/scraping the top face of the neck to remove the marks left by the co...

@jonhodgson Totally agree with Dan's comments and would just like to add that routing the headstock shape can be tricky, maybe better to cut close to your template lines on the bandsaw then use belt s...

Hi @jonhodgson Love seeing progress photos and the story behind them. I wish I had access to the range of tools you have! As someone that's had chipout and had the collet robbing issue before, I fee...

Attachment : Fretslots.webp I think you may recognize the jig. This was the first day of the London Craft Festival, and I had spent the whole day talking to people trying to convince them to join ...

So having joined the London Hackspace in the hope of using the faciities to build guitars and other cool things I somehow wound up first as a maintainer organizing the woodshop and then as a Trustee (...

Hey Jonathan - That's normal. We normally push it as far back as it will go (towards the body end). This way it cannot slide back any further so could only potentially move forwards but - it won't mov...

Hey up Scott, I'm about 60 miles or so further north of Edinburger. Welcome to your new life of being poor but surrounded with guitars lol
