Here is the link to the relevant livestream - just one way to do it 😉

@Schwifty. I would explain but Mark covered this in one of his you tube live streams. Search for it in his channel. Explains how. Making dowels and hammering it in metal tubing or plug cutting dots. B...

Wow Eddie, your necks are looking absolutely stunning! That is really some excellent craftsmanship, you must be proud 😊 I'll get my hands on a 6mm plug cutter, is there a way of using this ...

Hey everyone, Hope you are all keeping well! I want to cut 5.5-6mm rings for my marker dots, which I will fill with synthetic crushed opal. I want to keep the maple wood in the middle so the grain...

Route out a fake skunk stripe? Stop just shy of the heel. Fretboard still flat unradiused?

Thanks everyone. I'm sure I could effect a cosmetic repair ... I guess doing it in a way that doesn't self-destruct on the first turn of the truss rod will be the key. I use the same template for my n...
