@brie good work Brian!

@brie Hi. I am indeed a premium subscriber and have already watched the course twice over! That mensheds idea is brilliant, I’ll check it out! Thanks.

@brie haha well I’ll be as considerate as possible. To be fair though; the only power tools I’ll be using will be a cordless drill and a small router. I’ll have to substitute the band saw for a Japanese pull…   Read more»

@brie St Cyrus! That was it. Gourdon is past johnshaven. I was trying to remember them in order going from Montrose lol. Bought my first electric from a guy in St Cyrus, he played the cult lil devil on it…   Read more»

@brie Maybe Gourdon, Johnshaven or Bervie. Got cousins up that way.

@brie I glue up in my shed but then bring it in because it’s slightly warmer and at some point there will be heating on, so which ever room is warm is where I’ll put it which maybe the living…   Read more»

@brie About 20 miles from Dundee heading towards Glenisla

@brie I bring whatever wood I’m using in the house when it starts getting cold and damp, half built guitar or whatever. Just take it out the to the shed to do bits then back in. I think Mark suggested…   Read more»

@brie Tough one to answer, but here is my 2 cents. Here in Sweden the relative humidity has a high peak in july-august-september and is really low during winter months. If I take wood into the house during winter, I…   Read more»

@brie no shame in that, I’m sure it still rocks!

@brie thank you. Nice Bo Diddley vibes on your build, looks great!
I’ve got some of crimson’s stains, but not their oils. I used liberon finishing oil on my last build, is crimson’s much different to that?
Cheers
Dan

@brie thanks dude. And yeah, I’m still trying to walk upright. Took me a few days to pick myself up off the floor too. And I’ve ended up with someone ordering a finished Tele body, Don Rich style. Told them…   Read more»

@brie  Well done Robin, really didn’t think you’d get it done last weekend, we had horrible weather on the Sunday, though I know it was much better in Edinburgh. Thanks Brian, the weather was good to us, it stopped raining…   Read more»

@brie  Thank you Brian

@brie good work!

@brie You can also do a “climb cut” (going backwards) on certain sections to minimize the risk of tearout, but I think that is a scary thing to do with a router. I think Mark showed and explained it in…   Read more»

@brie Its happened to us all, and it’ll probably happen again. Thats good advice from @swepri not to be too greedy with the cuts. Your first reaction to stop and have a beer was the right thing to do. Gluing…   Read more»

@brie Not answering your question, but I try to nibble away in smaller passes with the router (maybe 4-5mm added depth per pass). It takes more time, but I think it reduces the risk for tearout.

@brie that sounds like a plan! When I did my bad thing, I didn’t want to change the shape of the body, but reshaping is always an option. @nsj is correct and has much more experience than me, I just…   Read more»

@brie, I feel you you, man! I had a router booboo at a similar point. Although your area is larger, I’m not certain if the tear out is any deeper than mine?

I filled the hole with mahogany wood…   Read more»
