@rathius satin for me, I'm a fan of satin or matt because it's to easy which I like lol

Here’s me carving the neck. Had to take a break before I finished. 😂 And here’s a picture of the fretboard with abalone inlay dots and ready for some clear. But should I shoot satin or gloss...

@tv101 that’s what I plan to do sometime or other. It would definitely make it quicker and easier.

Get some neck-blank sized scrap timber and try the bit on that first. Then get another bit of scrap and try it again, before you let it anywhere near a *real* (nice, expensive) neck blank!

Attachment : FE92BE49-46DF-4702-BDB4-FA6794F02F9F.jpeg So using that new fretboard caul I made earlier today, I now have the fretboard glued on. Decided to just carve neck instead of using that la...

This shape was inspired by the shape of the pickguard from a 355. Normally I don’t care for pickguards but when I put 2 together…, well this is what I ended up with. 🤣 Speaking of inspiration,...

Looks good....

@tv101 yeah I know. They work best for bolt on necks and do require planing on at least one surface. I have an electric hand planer with an edge guide so I can plane the surface in a few passes extend...

#thats-not-fair $13 a neck?? That's a steal.

@tv101 the cherry was a bit shy of 4mm and I did the carve just like Mark shows in the video. I decided to do a scarfed neck because I wanted to do a 6 inline headstock but all my mahogany stock is ab...

Interesting shape, and always good to see something new. How thick is your top? Just wondering whether the drop top would put a lot - too much? - stress on the curved line. If I'm remembering Mark's ...

Attachment : FFABA879-F02E-4A3D-9480-AE0836ABCDDB.jpeg Build #2 is my 3rd design and a double-cut. The shape was inspired by the pick guard on a 355. The odd looking smile at the bottom is a carve...

I sanded the whole guitar back and applied more thinned down polyurethane, couple of coats. Now I'll wait a day or two and apply the microcrystaline wax then assemble. The first coats of poly helped f...

I've either clamped the body to my drill press table, did the 12mm hole then a bowl and dish to make a recess. The most recent I went straight in with a forstner bit in the hand drill to make the rece...

@rathius Well, I'm glad that my idea was useful to someone. Have you made yours yet? It's been months since I last logged on here. I hope that large router bit didn't give you any trouble.

Wish I could be there myself. My arms aren’t up to the flight anymore though. 😂

Due to some other obligations, I haven't made it as far as I'd like to by now. I did get the top jointed and glued, and lightly sanded, but not thicknessed to what I want it to be yet. I did get the b...
