Isn’t that a great feeling? Making something so tactile and comfortable feeling?

Looks great so far @cheesewhisk, have fun shaping the volute!

Looking good @cheesewhisk! 👍

Cheers @russ that seems to be the trick, keeping at it.

You're getting there @cheesewhisk. Keep at it. 👍😁 🙏🎸🎶🙂

I think it worked out OK ... Attachment : DSC_0555.JPG Attachment : DSC_0564.JPG

Make a nice big template Attachment : 20160317_114132.jpg And rout out a nice big cavity Attachment : 20160317_123019.jpg There's a long backstory to this one, which explains why you ca...

Well @tv101 at least that idiot did some cool inlays!

I had to do something vaguely similar when some idiot routed the bridge pickup cavity in the wrong place. Wrong as in, 1" out, and just where the bridge posts needed to go. Idiot. I Some idiot had als...

CNC machined repair blocks with a matched routing template. Just how many mistakes do you think we make @darrenking? You could sell loads! 😆

I should point out that the Template from Potvin didn’t come with a block of wood but the templates to make the block and the cut, sorry @darrenking Having the blocks made is actually a great idea, it...

@darrenking CNC machined blocks and templates would be a tremendous time saving for repair jobs. It would also take away a lot of stress for builders knowing there is an easy fix for mistakes. Hand ma...

CNC machined repair blocks with a matched routing template. @darrenking That’s a good idea for sure and it’s already being done. Mike Potvin in Canada offers it for pickups and I had one made years ...

I’m going to block it and reroute it Hi @boo, I don't think you need worry about the strength of an end grain block going in there, as you said the stress is being exerted forward of the repair. If y...

but the thing is, it was made in America and shipped to me for painting Wow! That's some investment the person has made.

@boo I’ve done a similar type of job where the owner wanted to remove the tremolo bridge and fit a fixed one. I did it by creating a template to fit the tremolo cavity using thick Perspex and then use...

To be brutally honest, having just watched the video, is it worth saving that body? It doesn't look to be the best mix of woods, and with the combination of the misplaced trem rout, and the rout-throu...

Never done exactly this but I cocked up fitting a Grainger ferule block in a similar way. I tried to make an exact fit for the hole i.e. oval shape at the ends and didn't succeed which meant lots of f...

I'm betting he's doing what @clinton described. (what was that??)
