@tv1010101 Another mishap with the router today and split an edge of the heel. I wedged the split open and doused it with superglue. I think most of the split will be cut off later anyway. Attachm...

@robin I've had some mishaps with the router already We've all been there, done that! It's a great tool and incredibly versatile, but it's also very easy to do something that you didn't quite intend...

Have you got a jigsaw? @johnnierox-boo I do have a jigsaw but iv'e bought the wrong type of blades (I hadn't realised there were different types of shank). So Iv'e only got one blade, and I think i...

Hi Seth I'm also on my first build and following Mark's course, looks like I'm at much the same stage as you. I'm doing a mahogany set neck for my first build. Attachment : 20200924_153003.jpg

HI @Seth I'd echo what the guys above have said. That looks like a really nicely patterned piece of timber. Should look really good when carved and finished. The strong grain pattern on this piece h...

@seth The rough bit of grain looks like it's on the part you are cutting out so you probably won't know until the shape is roughed out. If it goes through to the cut line then getting a smooth finish ...

@marcel Now, if there is one thing you don't need at all on a fretless bass it's a trem. If there is one thing you don't need at all on a fretless bass with a trem, it's strings. 😆

@johnnierox-boo maybe it was just easier and more comfortable for him to play then. Yup - he wasn't the tallest bassist ever!

It reminds me of when I was on one of the courses I did at the Bailey workshop. There was a young man there who was making a fretless bass with a trem on it. Now, if there is one thing you don't need ...

I really can't see any any benefit of a 5-string short scale bass myself. It's different yes, but other than that?

@jonhodgson There is a measurable (just not by me!) difference between the theoretical accuracy and the 'real life' accuracy of any CNC machine. All I can do is to ensure that the GCode sent the the c...

Ok, The saw price has now been confirmed. It is a UK (Sheffield) made saw, 16 TPI, pull cut with a brass back and rosewood (coloured I suspect) handle. The price will be £30inc VAT which, considering ...

Not complaining - just reporting.....

@tv1010101 Pigeon breast, lightly sautéed in butter and served with an apple and red current purée is really what pigeons are for. (Sorry to all our vegetarian and vegan members). It really makes even...

It sounds quite idyllic where you are with all the wildlife, I’m quite envious @johnnierox-boo Iv'e got all the wildlife but iv'e not got access to a bandsaw here. I not sure yet how I'm going cut t...

Fantastic! The best bit of wildlife we’ve had in our garden in a sparrow hawk, it took a pigeon out and feasted on it in the bottom corner. Ahhhhh - that's what pigeons are for!!

@darrenking thanks, that’s what i was hoping to hear, I will proceed forward then. the worse case scenario is the neck does break, so this will be a bolt on lol
