@cheesewhisk someone bought me a set of these after I drilled through on another non guitar project courtesy of slipping flag, use them for any job on nice wood if a hand drill is involved! https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-8-piece-drill-stop-collar-guide-set-507150

@cheesewhisk Awesome looking guitar man. How does it sound? a short vid maybe? 😎

@cheesewhisk  I know that feeling all to well when you think you’ve ruined weeks of work, but once you calm down and think about it there’s always a fix and another lesson learnt.
