@robin We are all virtual friends through the medium and miracle that is the www but one day we may all meet in person, killer viruses allowing!

This forum is the template and like a real one, it has edges, boundaries, constraints and you have to carve out your own way to great projects and make friends along the way. How well you do it depend...

I've had a quick look around, but couldn't find the plans or templates for making the friends anywhere. I am of course joking! I know where the master template for “Friends” is. We are in it right...

Anyone know where they are? @TV1010101 Nope, no idea! Move along, nothing to see here! ?

A standard pot, but with a switch (technically, I suppose that’s actually *2* switches?) on the bottom. The switch can be used for things like coil tapping. It’s activated by pulling the knob up, or...

@darrenking Wow! They look like great little switches. Are they suitable for guitar building projects? If so, will you send them to some of your guitar building friends? ?

And do you use standard metal plate and wood screws or screw cups and machine screws? @darrenking Up to now I’ve only used standard or offset plates with wood screws but I’m getting all wet about the...

I am NOT going to google that to see if it is a real thing!! Mainly because it almost certainly is!!! arrrrrgh! Yeah, you are probably right, I’m not going to either!

I'll mainly be using the Grinder @markbailey Very amusing! ?

I have searched the forums for any Set neck v Bolt on neck debates but can't find any. This must surely be a topic that splits the nation isn't it? Any thoughts strongly one way or the other, either i...

I'll be sat here, with my knife, watching. It will be like live knife porn! ?

Had I known it would end up as a decorative piece I would have installed cheap chinese pick-ups and tuners instead of Seymour Duncan and Grovers It does look cool. Yeah you should definitely have swi...

@markbailey I’m not sure whether you have covered this but I want to install pickups (humbuckers) into a body with no pickup rings (direct mounted). I know people use wood screws but I don’t like that...

Jazz bass: Mahogany body, maple neck and fretboard, Fender pick-ups, Gotoh tuners and bridge. And a grey mirror scratch plate. I love this Jazz bass as well, I’ve got a Squire JBass which is effectiv...

t: Mahogany body, maple neck and fretboard, Tonerider Pure VintageTRS1 pick-ups, Gotoh tuners and bridge This Strat is really nice, I do like mahogany although I have stopped using it now due to my i...

So I cleaned out my tiny shed, bought some templates, bought some tools and wood and started. I made many mistakes (and still do) but one learns from his mistakes, so over the years I've learned a lot...

@marcel Yep, great little video. It does go through me a bit because it have got a bit of tendinitis in my left arm because of holding guitars up and out whilst spraying. I’m going to build a guitar h...

@darrenking Thanks for all the info, I appreciate it. I’m new to sharpening and I bought these waterstones as they were on offer at Rutlands. I do have a honing guide so I will have to be carful when ...

@darrenking That is some good advice and a logical sounding approach to soldering. I must become more proficient at soldering, it really is my weak spot.

@marcel It is deserved, well done.
