Thanks! Which effect does it have? There seems to be 30W and 80W versions available. Do you plan to do other stuff than burning logos, like cutting control covers?

@brie I glue up in my shed but then bring it in because it's slightly warmer and at some point there will be heating on, so which ever room is warm is where I'll put it which maybe the living room lol

@brie About 20 miles from Dundee heading towards Glenisla

@swepri neje 3 plus, got it off ebay. I seen a friend using it on his youtube and asked what he was using, he had the 2 plus but it wasn't available so I got the 3 plus. It's bigger than his so I can ...

@swepri Thanks for that, guitar body and neck are now sleeping in the spare bedroom, which has at least a fairly stable temperature. Just hope we don’t get any visitors, they might not like having gui...

@nsj Yesterday, after doing some final shaping of the heel, volute and headstock, I’ve moved the body and neck indoors. They’re in the spare bedroom which isn’t central heated and the temp has been ar...

@nsj Where did you get that laser? What brand? I think you mentioned it earlier, but I can't find it now.

Got the headstock sorted out today, stuck the body template on to get an idea how it will look. And of course I did my logo Attachment : 20231023_155012.jpg Attachment : 20231023_155205.j...

@robin it's been mental but fortunately I'm to high up to be affected, people over Brechin way had to get evacuated and all sorts. Water up about 6ft in the houses and stuff. There's timelapse of the ...

@brie I bring whatever wood I'm using in the house when it starts getting cold and damp, half built guitar or whatever. Just take it out the to the shed to do bits then back in. I think Mark suggested...

Just make sure you're wearing your hi-viz jacket whilst soldering, and you'll be fine with the leaded stuff.

That probably depends on your level of experience / confidence - not guitar building specifically, but also with precision woodworking in general. On a scale of 0-10, I started as a negative number on...

@tv101 carbon fiber is necessary for longer necks not so much guitars but primarily bass guitars especially if using certain types of tonewoods. If you are a bass guitar builder, it is almost always a...

It's a lot of time that would be wasted though. I'm not suggesting using CF rods in *every* neck, but if you're using a wood or a cut that wisdom says might be more prone to movement, why not do what...

@koendb can't fight nature lol

Me too I am wondering this. My guess is that , if wood really wants to warp , it will warp around whatever is in the way. I also wonder if you add carbon rods in a guitar with a trussrod, does the car...

@tv101 meh, worst case I'll make a new neck, I like making them lol

I can't see that they'd hurt - so for the sake of another couple of slots in the neck and a few£ of carbon fibre bar, I see no reason *not* to do it. Of course, you'd have to use the correct, acoustic...

@tv101 do you believe carbon rods actually do anything? That somehow they'll stop a neck from twisting if it wants to? Personally I think it's a fad to sell us guitar people more stuff we don't need l...

Interesting to re-read this thread. I've got a neck-blank sized piece of Ash, quarter-sawn and not too heavy which I think I might just use on a future neck build. But maybe with some added carbon fi...
