@steveadams. Thanks Steve.... I might nick that idea from you now. 👍😁 Keep the videos coming.... loving it. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Hey @russ good question..when I did the test run I was careful to have a look but they werent so tight they marked anything..I've attached a pic of the sides to show cheers Steve Attachment : 20...

@steveadams. Looking great Steve. The bulldog clips seemed to work a treat but just wanted to ask if they marked the face of the wood as they tend to apply a lot of pressure. Looking forward to the ne...

@steveadams Looks like your build is shaping up ok. Good tip with the bulldog clips. Cautionary tale for anyone who is tempted to try and reduce costs by shopping around for parts instead of buying a...

@steveadams Nice work! Also really good tips. Really appreciating the effort you put in making these videos 🍺

Hey Guys due to file size limit the next bit is in 2 parts...relax as there is no trauma in this section...ha ha cheers Steve Attachment : PART 11 MASTER.mp4

🤣 🤣 🤣 You're still allowed an opinion... cheers Steve

Mark made it Oooops! No offence meant Mark!

thanks @darrenking Mark made it and you'll see from his reply that doesnt think it will be an issue...so...... appreciate your feedback cheers Steve

some advice Hi Steve, I think you should get a new truss rod. I’ve never seen an angle like that on any that I have bought. Looks buggered to me Cheers Darren

Understood...thanks Mark Will carry on but promise to keep the wig locked away!!!!!

Don't go tightening the truss rod it after you glue the fillet or it will bend and break the fillet! Also - when the fretboard is glued on the neck will be far too stiff for the truss rod to work, so ...

Hey @markbailey Thanks so much for the reply, really appreciate it and so good to hear from you... I'll crack on, BTW, if I didnt mention it before the acoustic course is so good...so clear... hope to...

Thanks to everyone for chipping in - good Q!...Short answer - It's OK. 😌 Some things to consider: The Aluminium part does look like it could sit squarer...make sure the round bar is fully in ...

Hey @robin and @rocknroller912 Really appreciate your replies and your research robin... Once again I'm reaching out to Mark, I've also emailed him...so fingers crossed... I'm slightly inlcined to go ...

@steveadams This should be a link to the video, I was wrong, that bit (refered to as the truss rod thing) isn't welded. At about 5 mins in, Mark is tightening the nut, I cant see anything to stop i...

@steveadams Its a good question and you’re certainly not going mad. Check twice cut once should be amended to say check twice glue once also. It does seem to me like the threaded part of the rod has a...

@steveadams I haven't built an acoustic yet, so can't comment on the angle. I do rembemer watching a video of Mark making that type of truss rod. I'm not sure, but maybe the bottom rod should be welde...

Hey @russ Thanks for the reply..as you can see from the video I'm inclined to agree!! cheers Steve

@steveadams. Sorry Steve. I'm no expert in this at all. There is some angle on the neck but I'm not sure that it is as much as it seems in your video. I would expect that the wee barrel nut on the end...
