@Russ, I think Matt was offering to get them for us, from Germanyland, and send them over. He gets my vote for most community spirited forum member of the day. 👍

They look good @mattbeels but does anyone know what drill bits to go for in the UK? 🙂🎸🙏🎶

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment.......a wee bit quirky. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

Hi Tej, It might be more complicated than you think to adapt a table saw for fret slotting. The fret slotting blades are usually much smaller diameter than the regular blades and therefore you will ne...

They certainly supply me, and therefore, GMUK

@rockpile99 Glad it worked out ok, sorry should also have mentioned that it’s not at all quick, your results look pretty similar mind. I had a small chip to sort too and had to craft a new surround fo...

Sending GCode data to a CNC controller is a bit like asking Marvin to open and shut doors! He’d probably find that depressing! It was a bit of a pita, because my main machine and the CNC laptop aren’...

It’s an old machine, but could probably handle a bit more work. Sending GCode data to a CNC controller is a bit like asking Marvin to open and shut doors! You could probably run your router from an M...

Any idea whether 3mm is close enough to 1/8” to be interchangeable Hi TV, it depends a little on the construction of the collet but it is more likely that a 1'8" collet could successfully take a 3mm ...

Cheers @darrenking Ive got 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 1/4” collets. Any idea whether 3mm is close enough to 1/8” to be interchangeable?? My first project completed, but it took a little longer than I’d hoped...

My next job is to order some new cutters Hi TV, Hopefully you've got 6mm and/or 1/4" collet and 3.2mm (1/8") collets. I would suggest using the 6mm Wealden spirals for cut out and clearance operatio...

Yeah @boo The New York Doilies

@Mattbeels and @clinton Great, I ll stick with 10 to 12 then.Scarf Joint/No Scarf Joint I'll leave that decision until I m able to at least test this with some scrap wood and my miter saw.Either way, ...

@koendb I would say no matter which construction method that you choose, go with something around 10-12 degrees. I think those Gibson 15-17 degree headstocks look cool but they are just too much. For ...

My scarf joints are 12 degrees. I like it, for it makes bending strings a breeze.

Looking for advice on the headstock angle of my next project, which is a 1958 Flying V. I would say clone, but for the headstock angle, I am willing to compromise in favor of practicallity and strengt...

@tej Here is an example of how an oiled finish can darken mahogany. The first photo is before oiling in 2003 and the second one is from 2015 and shows no deterioration in the finish despite being kept...

@tej Oil finishes are hard wearing and easy to touch up if you need. Another advantage is they don’t chip or spread if you do get a knock. Just rub out the dent and apply more oil. I did an oil finish...

Looks like this is out of stock atm, but how about something like this ... With a red, or clear, finish over the top? Attachment : P1190492.JPG I used to use Andy's stuff on all of my builds, ...
