@Clinton, thanks for the reply and the offer, that would be kind....but don't bust a gut if you cannot find it. Nice work on your guitar there and the templates and plans for the Les Paul look in orde...

At last some progress today. Decorating had taken over but that is done now so back to the geet. My first proper carve, fretting and fitting of inlays / side dots. On the whole it went well, no major ...

Why have I never thought of that! @tv101 Well that’s probably because @robin is superior at problem solving. And decorating sheds.

Try taking a shaving off a bit of your body offcuts with a plane, adjust the depth of cut to get the thickness you want. Why have I never thought of that! Excellent tip @robin.

Thanks Robin, I’ll give that ago too. Ordered some veneer in case. It was cheap so no harm done.

@Peebee I need to get some veneers to fix my loose neck pocket fec up. Where do people get their veneers from please? Try taking a shaving off a bit of your body offcuts with a plane, adjust the dep...

There’s loads on flea bay I’ll give that a try, but thanks all.....might try and bandsaw my own!

Thanks Tv haven’t measured but I’d be surprised if it’s as much as .5mm either side.

TBH @peebee, unless you’re planning on repeating the fec up on future builds and therefore needing lots of veneer, you can find small offcut pieces on eBay, or I can just put some bits & pieces in...

Sorry to hear that @peebee! Why not try making some yourself with the bandsaw? If it doesn’t work out it’ll at least be good practice...

Looks great. Routers the fastest way to a cock up. Love and hate em!

@cheesewhisk Ah ok, cool. Obviously not a big deal as it won’t be seen later, so good job on fookin’ up!

Cheers Matt, been busy with work and not had anything to report until now. I didn’t have to fill as I only skimmed the first pass so it wasn’t that bad

Welcome back @cheesewhisk! I was wondering where you were... It’s hard to tell on an iphone but did you have to fill and re-route the slot? Either way it looks good and keep on keepin’ on!

Ahhhhh, the router. You can do so many tasks with a router. And it can really help you cock most of them up too! We’ve all been there ......

I may have measured twice, but check the guide rail was locked I did not. Thankfully I only ballsed up the first mm. Stopped and completely reset. Not bad for only the 2nd time I’ve used a router I th...

@russ Yeah, let’s hope so! 😂 I meant to say that I wanted to find a copy with the ‘Mark Bailey cover’ as that was supposed to be funny but re-reading it I guess I failed. Ooops...

I wanted to find a copy with the other (Mark Bailey 😂) Hey @mattbeels. Surely there's only One Mark Bailey. 😱🤣 🎸🙏🎶🙂
