Thanks Mark for the advice, I will give this a go tomorrow!

Hey guys, I’m in the middle of carving my first neck and have hit a (hopefully minor) snag. As you can see from the pics I’ve rough carved the side facets - one larger facet, and one smaller section t...

There is plenty of room for error at this stage so it's probably just fine... Here is what to do: Ignore it...for now... Carve the 3rd facet and continue as normal... When you get to the 'Add more fac...

Great job @cheesewhisk! 👍👍👍

Huge thank you to all those that voted to get a Mirka sander, what a difference that made. @cheesewhisk Yep, told you I would be a good investment. 😁👍 Your guitar build is looking gre...

I’M BACK BABY! Im out at work today but when I get back I’ll be installing these bright yellow side dots on the neck. Thanks for sorting my account out Mark et al, much appreciated. Attachment :...

@boo Good call on the side dots, it’s usually a plastic rod so it should work. I’ve been saving ebony off cuts from violin pegs for years thinking they will be good for maple fretboard dots but don’t ...

@rocknroller912 I’ve been trying to find some 2mm bright yellow plastic (or similar) rods so I can make some fret marker dots for the side of this neck. I’ve not been able to find anything that thin s...

The yellow dots look good @rocknroller912 Yeah, it was something different specified by the customer. I had to use non standard materials to get something so yellow and I have to use something comple...

@boo The yellow dots look good

Time for a bit of CA glue and accelerator, as well as keeping a bottle of solvent handy (with lid removed), just in case. Attachment : 0C2399F2-C062-4BBA-B97B-BFDD52A66FEA.jpeg

I test fitted the tuners and it’s all looking good. It fits into the family nicely (although this one isn’t for me). Attachment : F046DAF1-9504-4F63-A642-3152BBED9C3E.jpeg Attachment : EA8...
