@azad Sounds like you did a lot of hard work on that, props! So I guess your sister supplied the base plate?

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Thanks James!

Welcome Azad.....this forum has no sanctions when it comes to advice, help and support for guitar and bass makers. More clever people than me on here can help with advice on making tools and parts.......

@tv101 Hey, you’ve probably never been asked this before but how do you change pu’s on your Bandsman? Is it a blender or rotary switch with splits?

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 Well it’s not me. I did just order two shirts and a beanie though. But I was just going through a junk drawer and I found an old photo of Mark putting out the bin bags in ...

Wanna buy some?🤣

Normally a way around it Robin 😁

I had a big engineers vice on my garage workbench, it was far too high for planing wood and took up too much space. I bought a old used clamp on vice for £20. It didn't fit, the clamp opened to 60mm,...

@matt-beels Dear Matt I don't know Berlin that much, I visited her two years ago and I spent some time in the city but not that much that I can remember. The Main part of the bridge got broken, I meas...

That’s a good, different shape @boo - like it!

Hi Boo, glad you got your vice, keep your eyes out as Axminster tools are having a deal every day leading up to Xmas right now. Also check out Yandles woodworking site, they often have massive reducti...

@94dodgedude Scared to router out the nice neck after the tear out now. It's coming on well. Take your time with the router, little cuts at a time and stop short of the sharp corners. I was alread...

I would strongly advise that you sign up on the course...even just for a month could help a lot. If you do things in the wrong order you can make your life A LOT more difficult (maybe almost impossibl...

@markbailey Thanks. Watched the livestream when I woke up today and could tell I'm in that group for sure. I'll be signing up soon. Thanks for all the help!

So in looking at just the first section of the build your own guitar course I've done things in completely the wrong order. Whoops. Started before finding the channel and had been following a bunch of...

@94dodgedude Hey dude, jumping in at the deep end, eh? Don’t feel too bad, we‘ve all done it in one way or another... Cutting out your truss rod slot is definitely going to be harder than it needed to...

That jig looks like a neat way of overcoming the problem. I'd probably put an extra nut on the end of the bolts - as big a nut as I could find - to spread the pressure over a wider area, and I'd also ...

@94dodgedude Any thoughts on this or any better ideas of how to route out a truss rod channel on a neck that's already cut to shape? I made a jig to cut my truss rod slot, not because I cut the nec...

An update on my waterslide transfers. I had applied over Danish Oil then sprayed a clearcoat of Plastikote gloss lacquer. I could see the different finish through the border of the transfer, so it a...
