Another dead vid @steveadams ☹️, I’m guessing that the same will be true with part two, oh nice one! 🤪

I'd be happy just to see *anything* - quite miss the Saturday sessions in the workshop. 🙂 (And the Weds sessions too, but I don't want to be greedy!)

I’ve noticed recently while buying parts online that there are some expensive templates for measuring nut spacing. Wonder if anyone has used one or if there are any opinions on how useful they are.

Yup @steveadams you guessed it, I can’t view this one either dag nabbit!

@markbailey @boo Sounds like a good idea, so just for further encouragement, sign me up for the nut making course too.

@boo Good call...Could be quite in depth - There are a lot tricks and tips that would help folks out...noted.

The video is dead @steveadams! Please re-upload as I’d love to see it!

Nut files are funny things @tej I like the double edge files. Two sizes each with a handle and they have a V shape which helps to open up the top of the string slot, they suck for a PRS nut though. Ke...

@wolframmalukker Will try to do a little shaping this weekend, maybe. Need to cut the truss rod slot first, I guess. Thats looking good. Mark always emphasises to do the trussrod slot before shapin...

First attempt at the neck shaping. Layed all the neck parts out and did some marking up. Neck, fretboard, nut blank, headstock veneer, and truss rod. And, I got a little excited and started cutting t...

Posted by: @tv101 When was the last time you had anything like that WOW experience listening to something new? For me @tv101, it was the Black Keys. I was introduced to them back in 2004 just befo...

Over the past few days, I've been listening to a lot of Velvets stuff whilst at work (I'm WFH permanently, so can have music playing when not on calls!). Album of choice has been the VU album, all 6 d...

@tv101 still no good. even pretend strings are too "banjo...y". 🙂

@robin Good job, it looks like you have it sorted. I was surprised when you mentioned a truss rod as banjos don’t usually have one.

Posted by: @robin Took the trussrod cover off the banjo and found solid headstock under it, just a pretend trussrod cover When you put it back together, could you use pretend strings? 😆

Well worked out @robin. 🪕 🙂🙏🎶🎸
