What was your methodology for placing the holes so evenly? @jonhodgson A square and a sharp pencil, with a bradawl for punching the starter holes. I find it helps to centre the bradawl on the mark if...

@tej That's very tidy. What was your methodology for placing the holes so evenly? I'm also looking at a Tele style build, and unfortunately top loading tele bridges are relatively rare (I haven't foun...

take no notice of @Boo, it doesn't have to be a solid finish in pink flake, other colours are available @tv101Absolutely! There's red flake and blue flake and purple flake, all sorts of choices!

@koendb This was the result of a test with using the router dowel cutter, it’s a soft start router so I got away without clamping it for the test so arguably could be marginally more accurate! Atta...

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... After my last few weird suggestions I thought I'd go a bit more middle of the road. 😂🤣 🎶🙂🎸🙏

I still find multiple "learning opportunities" on most builds ... @tv101 my main aim though is when it happens to be sure that I solve the problem first time without making new problems as I’ve done ...

Not that a single thing will go wrong of course, I think the chances of a single thing going wrong are minimal @Tej 😉 I still find multiple "learning opportunities" on most builds ...

Any job that "I'll just do this quickly" generally turns out to take much much longer! @tv101 yeah for my proper build I have to keep in mind I’m not working to anyone’s schedule but my own and that ...

@koendb other thought I had for this is if you get a loooong drill bit and make a thick drill guide from some hard wood on the pillar drill and then clamp this to the body and use that with the long b...

This was my one chance to fix this and I’m still not happy with the result but it was all from my own lack of preparation and rushing, The number of times I've had that experience @Tej ... Any job ...

Everything that can go wrong goes wrong multiple times it seems! Sometimes it feels like that, but, in reality, you've got more of it right than wrong, and the bits that aren't quite right are fixabl...

Only clean solution I found was pointed out to me on a different thread @Tej Yeah I know of that solution. It's not what I wanted for this project though. I have not yet decided which way I want to g...

Getting the ferrules in was a disaster @koendb I really feel for you on this one, your picture of where the ferrules ended up is very similar to the mess I ended up with on my Tele kit build. Only cl...

Man this build... Everything that can go wrong goes wrong multiple times it seems!So while the neck has its issues with badly seated frets and perhaps not perfectly shaped.it is the body I am struggli...

Nice work @Boo! I had to do a similar repair a few days ago too, placed my bridge in the wrong spot.. I never learn 🤣

two hot slags turned up today Woah @tej, have fun!!!

This is how he looks nowadays: See @mattbeels - that’s what lockdown does to a hairstyle ....

You're on a bit of a weird run recently @Russ! I am attracted to the quirky bands and individuals @tv101.......it appeals to my inner weirdo that is caged within my conservative outer shell.............

Nice save @steveadams! I guess you’ll be following Mark’s advice to the letter from now on, eh? 😆 All’s well that ends well...

Well done Steve! I think the white stuff is 3mm x 3.15 mm so maybe you had it the wrong way round or maybe it got stretched as it was probably not new. Sorry for the hassle... I've sent you a new piec...
