I did try sanding sealer before cutting and it helped. This is a really cheap piece of wood soft and powdery. I’m sure it will be much better on a quality piece.

Mark suggests on his videos that you use sanding sealer before cutting out the rosette, as it helps stop any tear out. You just rag it on around the area you are cutting the rosette out As well as new...

@tej I didn’t explain myself very well again. I meant to raise my work bench up by a lot maybe a foot or more as I’m 6 ft 1 inch tall and working on a folding bench kills my back.

@rocknroller912 could you not just put a piece of sacrificial wood underneath where you’re cutting? At least then you’d also minimise any tear out too. Or have I misunderstood your plan!?

@tej Thanks I’m glad I tried this as a practice first before using the expensive wood. I’ve never used a Dremel before and I’m thinking of ideas to raise the work height.

@poco7 Looks like a good start

My favourite song today:

@koendb You have made some good tools there. I’ve never been keen on router guides.

I am building a second shed to store pet foods and supplies, lawnmower and other gardening equipment. ( Actually I am throwing stuff out that does not belong in a guitar workshop 😋 ) Attach...

@rocknroller912 excellent, it certainly looks like a really clean cut and no marks either!!!

Culture Hustle may have the pinkest pink, but I think Boo may have the sparkliest pink.

@boo it needs more pink 😛

Just Great @boo. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@tej Its the camera angle, I checked it with callipers

@rocknroller912 looking good, somewhat off centre looking though of is that just the grain/light!?

@tej Tested my new bushing and pin cutting out the sound hole. It works much better. I know Mark uses a big router to cut these inlays but I wasn’t using a standard 6mm inlay only a DIY one from a bit...

Looking good @jmcmi93888 🙏🎶🙂🎸
