@boo You did read correctly Thanxs, them Nuns dun lerned me gud... Best of luck with that. I would be worried that whatever you use to fill the gaps will shrink over time leaving you with an ugly, s...

@cheesewhisk Ahh Harley Benton. Cheap guitar/expensive template 😆

Thanks Matt, yeah definitely gone and done it now 🙂 The headstock is part Mark's template so I know it'll work and part trying something of my own, as for the body I actually traced around a Harley Be...

That’s a gif btw, not sure why it doesn’t show that 🙄

Not quite, going to have to take a chunk out and glue it on.

@cheesewhisk A one piece blank for an Explorer?!? That’s yuge! Attachment : image.gif

@cheesewhisk Well you’ve gone and done it now, right on! Crazy headstock design, cool that you’ve done something different. I see that you also changed the lower horn for (presumably) better fret acce...

My favourite song today:

The depth gauge is good as well.

@frocesterbill guess copy paste doesn’t work for usernames 🙄

@frocesterbill Sounds like you got an amazing deal on that Dewalt, their tools ain’t cheap! Not as expensive as Festool though, their tagline should be: Tools for Rich People 😂

@eddie6string I just googled that machine and it’s an old one, here’s what I found: Machine overview By Rob The Scheppach HMS 260 jointer planer is the smallest of the HMS series. In contrast to ...

@cheesewhisk My first build was a neck through Explorer so... It might be “wiser” to go with a simpler style first to get your feet wet but if you feel up for it then I say go for it! It really isn’t ...

Thanks Matt, I'm inclined to the local Axminster equipment because their customer service has been good for me over 25yrs now. I want fast reliable jointing. Fence on current planer flexes just enou...
