@keondb Ok I think I picked you up wrong. Do you check the nut to see if it’s flat, a lot of new ones are not. I use a thin chisel as a scraper to get the slot flat and check for rocking with a small ...

Some nuts are curved on the bottom - get a flat one. It’s better to make the slot a bit tight and then scrape the nut to fit. @rocknroller912 That was what I meant. The slot needs to be flat too. It ...

@koendb I use the same set up as for cutting the fret slots but with a tapered fret board it’s more difficult to get it square. Clamps as well as tape can be used but the tightening will move everythi...

Looks like it’s going to be an LP summer

@tv101 Thanks for that advice Tony. It's given me my Mojo back. I'm very much a visual learner. I'm sure when I get started it will all be a bit clearer and as you say when I draw it all out on paper ...

but I worry that I won't be able to do this when it comes to building a different design of guitar because I won't have direct instructions to follow @Russ ... worry ye not. Quite seriously, before m...

Hi Mark, I've been working through your online courses which are very easy to follow. When I eventually come to build the Bandsman I feel that I will be able to do it following your instructions and c...

How to design any guitar (or bass or uke or ?) Lets have your best Q's pls! As usual Carol will be ready and waiting to heckle me with your comments and queries...

That looks like a pretty impressive save @eddie6string - and a nice piece of veneer too. 👍 I've got a Safe-T-Planer too, but I've never really got the hang of using it, so it's sat (still in...

@Tv101 I’ve seen just uninstalling this tube as you would a dot and then fill the inner with ebony and superglue or an ebony dowel.

That looks great @rocknroller912

@tv101 After Sat’s session, I’ve been trying to think of ways of just cutting a ring into the board ... How about using a circular cutter, cut a circle in a piece of plywood of a similar depth of th...

Brilliant idea, and great execution @rocknroller912. That looks like the solution to me! @markbailey - remember where you saw it first 😉

@tv101 @deej Tried out my idea of burning the ring into the wood and it worked not too bad, better in ebony than rosewood. I should have cleaned the burr on the brass tube from cutting before gluing t...

Are the rings CNCed - the grain looks continuous......

@tv1 @deej After Sat’s session, I’ve been trying to think of ways of just cutting a ring into the board ... One way of making a ring without a centre guide might be to heat the metal tube and burn t...

I’ll be at work but watching as much as I can...... Despite my best plans, the meeting that should have finished at 1pm overran to 1.30. And then one of the people on that call wanted a 1:1 immediate...

Thanks for the update guys. I will try and catch as many live-streams as I can, work has gone nuts!

Thanks Bailey Team
