@rocknroller912 Yeah but….but……but it’s not England. I’m bored of England. I want my Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😭 Am I being a baby? I am, I’m...

@dirtbike I can’t fault this Bosch router much. It has plenty depth of cut, variable speed, power and ergonomics. It is easily good enough for all your guitar making needs and reasonably priced. A...

Posted by: @bpower no. myself and the 3 kids have all tested negative. We did what we could to avoid it but I'm still surprised that we didn't get it. Makes no sense. That's why people smarter than m...

@bpower Thanks, I’ll be ok, I don’t feel like doing much though. Glad you are all ok as well and that you have got some guitar stuff done. My wife tested negative so I’m trying to stay away from her s...

@robin Thanks, I will. It’s just really bad cold symptoms at the moment, nothing too bad (it is horrible though). I was supposed to be travelling up to Scotland next week but I don’t think that will h...

Not exactly an injury but a warning, it’s probably not a good idea to build guitars when you have covid so I’m not going to bother. Damn! 🤒😷🦠🧬 Attachment : 3AA09D0...

@mario Hi Mario, it is normal procedure to glue the fretboard to the neck before putting the frets in. It is possible to put frets in before gluing the fretboard to the neck but it’s not advisable, it...

@clinton Yeah definitely. It’s one of those essential jobs that must be right for a guitar to work and play properly. Owning one of these jigs and the various scale length inserts is definitely a must...

@darrenking Highly amusing sir! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@darrenking Wow! This is all truly amazing. I am stunned beyond belief, this is proper guitar building, not that crap I do. This is on a whole new level. One day. ✊

@clinton Yes they are fab aren’t they? 👍

@koendb On this acoustic guitar of mine, the action measures about 2mm at the 12th fret and about 1mm at the 1st fret on the low E string. Use that as a guid for the other strings, they will get sligh...

@koendb I’ve just been looking as closely as I can at the photo from the side and I have to say the action looks very high. You will need to lower the bridge quite a bit and adjust the nut maybe. The ...

Posted by: @koendb Well it is 25.4, the distance from the nut to the middle of the 12th fret is 322.5mm so I think it must be the bridge which is off. @koendb Just check the measurement from the mi...

@koendb What scale length is it? Is the bridge definitely in exactly the right spot? Just try measuring from the nut to the centre of the 12th fret, it should be exactly half of the intended scale le...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I think you might have opened a hornets nest here. It will be like a doctors waiting room soon. @rocknroller912 You could be right.😂 We could do with a resident...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I’m immune to emojis and other comments that might upset other people. @rocknroller912 Good for you. Nevertheless I thought I would offer my apology. (I just nearly did it...

Posted by: @koendb Sanded and polished the soundboard and removed the masking tape. I did not realize how much shellac I put on there.. I t is a surpiringly thick coat! And I was scared to sand throu...

@rocknroller912 I’ve just realised, using the thumbs up emoji at the end of my last reply to you was probably not the best option. Sorry. 😂

Posted by: @koendb I do suffer from carpal tunnel and I should definitely get surgery for that, but I ve been postponing this since at least a decade if not longer. Other then that, no injuries so fa...
