One warning with oil finishes is to be careful with your application cloth/paper disposal. The curing is pretty exothermal and apparently, it's not unknown for things to catch fire if you just lob the...

@ndakota I’ve got some of this I’ll be using: Have a look on YouTube as there was a product demonstration/tutorial for it somewhere. From the reviews 3 or 4 coats would leave a nice satin sheen on it...

because in a Lap Steel the neck is never touched. I think the problem is stability of the neck ( twisting /warping ). But perhaps someone with more experience can discard my concern?

Thanks @koendb! I've never done anything like this, so I'll try Danish Oil on some scrap wood that was left over the build to try it on, unless I'll get any other more suggestions from someone more ex...

@ndakota Looking good so far! looks indeed like pine. I don't know if those knots will be a problem or not on a lap steel. On a regular guitar or bass neck, you don't want that. Concerning the finish,...

Hi Everyone! I did some experiments during the lockdown and built up a lap stell from some scrap wood I had in my cellar. Started to be only for fun, but I kinda like what came out! I was looking onl...

@koendb so what’s the plan for getting the build done, I’m not familiar with the approach for neck though, at what point do you join the wings on to the neck? My next build is, in my head, to be neck ...

I’m not familiar with the approach for neck though, at what point do you join the wings on to the neck? @Tej I don't know yet. This would be my 3th scratch build and first one with a neck through.Thi...

Ok if it’s too quiet I’m up for stirring the pot. I challenge you to cut those horns with a router.

@koendb I’m sure Mark did a live stream on neck through construction.

I challenge you to cut those horns with a router. @rocknroller912 or perhaps a sharp spoon!?

I’m sure Mark did a live stream on neck through construction. @rocknroller912 where can I find his livestreams can see a link from Here too them. Am I missing the obvious Here?

Thank you, Koendb

Thanks for asking, Tej. I've successfully built my prototype, and have since finalized a multitude of mods, from body shape, pups selection, harness, to final headstock design and neck/board construct...

@hudsoncustoms sounds like you’re starting with a much clearer view of the end game than I did 😬 Any pictures you’d be happy to share?

@rocknroller912 I’ll keep that in mind if I ever make a “real” guitar then. Measuring the string lengths nut to bridge on another guitar with the same scale length suggest the adjustment should be mor...

@tej If it’s got side adjustment it sounds like a plan but I’m not an electric guitar expert. If your neck is a tight fit there shouldn’t be much difference between the test fit and the final. I can s...

@rocknroller912 this is the bridge I have below. It’s a little different to the one @markbailey uses in the video. I was planning to mount it with the posts in line with the scale length line but 6mm...

@rocknroller912 it’s a gotoh 510UB my concern is around possible need for lateral movement as opposed to the intonation. I’ll set it up on some scrap and see what play there is in it.

@tej What type of bridge do you have. If it has some intonation adjustment that should take care of any small changes after the neck is glued.
