@tej Here is the the kind of thing you need to cut inlays. I got mine from Cookson Gold by post. Attachment : FCF1E244-C746-42F6-B67D-54B201335FAB.jpeg Attachment : B57E35F6-A930-41D8-B41...

@boo When I learned bow making we had to cut our own dots from flat sheet. You could try google for model shops, there’s loads. They have all sorts of plastic sheet and some do custom work. Circle pun...

Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S That’s a sweet saw @hursty, great job! That was the one I was considering but as my family all chipped in for my Birthday I went up to the Sabre 350, cuz why not, ri...

I always think it seems a bit silly to use a 350 watt drill so you don't put too much strain on your 1400W router! I think the idea there @jonhodgson is to lessen the strain on the router bits so the...

Hi Koendb and Jonathan, great to meet you both. I finally managed to find a Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S so have ordred that. Stocks of the machines seem to be trickling into the country now. I've...

Then when routing, you have to work away quite a bit more material, so I take my time and use several passes before my routerbitss' bearing touches the template. Only then I go a few mm deeper and rep...

I will probably wait on a good deal/opportunity to buy a bandsaw. Until then , the jigsaw or a friends bandsaw will have to do. I am in no rush

Don't rush to buy something almost-good-enough now Soud advice. I now did a couple of builds with nothing more then a jigsaw and a router. I t works, it just takes longer. With the jigsaw, you just h...

Its proper daft this problem with stocks of these machines. Supply issues will sort themselves out over the next few weeks/months. Don't rush to buy something almost-good-enough now, and then struggl...

Cheers Matt for the welcome. 😀 Yeah I'd seen it had only 4 inch depth of cut. I had also considered splashing out on the 350 which has a bigger depth of cut and wouldn't stress the motor as m...

Welcome to the forum @hursty! Rest assured, you’ve come to the right place. With regards to the Record BS 250, it has a rather small depth of cut of 120mm so before you buy make sure that any headstoc...

Gibson scale eh @boo, going for something different I suppose. Anything else out of the norm on this one?

@boo It's a boo guitar, I think you need to sneak a little shimmer in there!
