@e-den-hertog. Very nice Edwin. I like the contrast of the black hardware. 🙏🎸🙂🎶

And here it is folks!! The finished Exotica (with special thanks to Mark for letting me use his design)!! Pictures or it didn't happen, right? Front and back: Attachment : 20210402_163652.jpg ...

Actually, looking through the details on that website, it's not really what I expected. Looks pretty classy. Probably a great night out. For Blackpool ... Next job; clear my Google hist...

Forgot to add that the NSC is available in 5L bulk for trade use so it will be a brush can.

Thanks for the update @rocknroller912. Looks like its Farnell have it too;

I happily converted to the metric system after moving to Germany, it’s soooo much simpler and more accurate imo. I still measure a few things in imperial like fretwire, action and scale length but pr...

Do you work in imperial measurements? I was reading something the other day about Gibson factory setting for string height. Being American, the dimensions are in imperial, which I haven't got a probl...

@cheesewhisk Any advice on the volute? As @TV101 says, watch how Mark does it, pay attention to where he carves the facets and where the bump should be relative to the nut, copy that and the volute ...

Any advice on the volute? I'd really watch how Mark does it. I've never managed to carve one as good as the ones I did in his workshop. 👍

Looks great so far @cheesewhisk, have fun shaping the volute!

Looking good @cheesewhisk! 👍

thanks @cheesewhisk and @rocknroller912 I can send you my 23 page H&S assessment including the individual COP sections...perhaps the most important being "risk of spilling tea on top of layout dra...

You're getting there @cheesewhisk. Keep at it. 👍😁 🙏🎸🎶🙂

Has anyone routed the trem cavity in the wrong place and repaired it? How would you fill the hole? 🤔 I’m going to block it and reroute it but I was wondering if anyone has done this before an...

Never done exactly this but I cocked up fitting a Grainger ferule block in a similar way. I tried to make an exact fit for the hole i.e. oval shape at the ends and didn't succeed which meant lots of f...
