Awesome @cheesewhisk! What is your plan for the neck?

Gold Het set for pickups then tone pros tuneonatic bridge with some Harley Benton locking tuners

Attachment : IMG_0554.jpg I’ve got this far with the neck

Neck looking good and the headstock isn’t too pointy.

Agree with Mark - need to keep things clean - evict the bikes……

When I first saw ‘oily rag’ I started thinking Cockney Rhyming Slang - oily - oily rag - fag - cigarette…… 🤩……..

I did try sanding sealer before cutting and it helped. This is a really cheap piece of wood soft and powdery. I’m sure it will be much better on a quality piece.

Mark suggests on his videos that you use sanding sealer before cutting out the rosette, as it helps stop any tear out. You just rag it on around the area you are cutting the rosette out As well as new...

@tej I didn’t explain myself very well again. I meant to raise my work bench up by a lot maybe a foot or more as I’m 6 ft 1 inch tall and working on a folding bench kills my back.

@rocknroller912 could you not just put a piece of sacrificial wood underneath where you’re cutting? At least then you’d also minimise any tear out too. Or have I misunderstood your plan!?

@tej Thanks I’m glad I tried this as a practice first before using the expensive wood. I’ve never used a Dremel before and I’m thinking of ideas to raise the work height.

@poco7 Looks like a good start

@koendb You have made some good tools there. I’ve never been keen on router guides.

@rocknroller912 excellent, it certainly looks like a really clean cut and no marks either!!!
