So I just came across this thread and have just read it from the start. I gotta say - This is an amazing and beautiful guitar Bill. Will we ever get to hear it?

The tuners are from Riot - Firebirds originally had Banjo type tuners - Steinberger produced some for a while. These work well - there are pics earlier in the thread.... See

A quick picture - will get a better one in daylight tomorrow... Attachment : DB642E62-E48F-48B5-8B6F-B12E4A185919.jpeg

Hi Bill Thats a neat build, I've spotted the unusual tuners, they look clever.

I have managed to heat my workshop - it is only 9’ x 7’ x 7’ - I have a 1500W oil filled radiator - the room stays above 55°F as long a the door stays shut..... The rest of the space isn’t heated all...

@robin Good solution for roof repairs is epdm rubber sheet. It's available on the Internet and is custom made to any size, you just need to nail down some Sterling Board (OSB) first. Much better than ...

@robin Looks like you got there in the end, nice one. Btw if you think those snipped frets are sharp, try some stainless steel... After cutting those you have to immediately file the ends cuz they are...

I've been putting fret wires in today, this has been the most awkward part of this build so far. The wire I bought wasn't pre bent, so I had to make roller. The roller I made wasn't great and as I had...

@rocknroller912 The weather has thawed today thank goodness. Our ice and snow thawed last night as well, the only bonus was that my lockup roof didn't leek when it was frozen, I really need to get ...

@rocknroller912 Hmm, I guess heating the garage isn’t such an easy task...

@mattbeels I have a garage attached to the house and was thinking that a wood burning stove would be great, but it's where I keep my motorbike with a 4 gallon petrol tank so probably not a good idea. ...

Hi Matt ahh, I was talking about a handheld jigsaw. I didn’t realize you were talking about a jigsaw... Sometimes I bit carried away making stupid things. 🙂

@boo btw, which BKP did you order? Holy Diver? Nailbomb? Painkill-ah?

@robin ahh, I was talking about a handheld jigsaw. I didn’t realize you were talking about a jigsaw... 😆

@rocknroller912 Ah, so you have a shed I guess. Ideally that sounds nice except for the obvious problems of sub zero weather... If you’re not even able to deliver the jobs until the end of March then ...

@prodoozer well alright, nothin’ wrong with that.Best of luck with your builds!

I normally have a sacrificial piece of wood underneath the one I’m cutting/routing. Good tip @boo It would probably be easier (and more fun!) to just make a new template then dicking around with Bon...
