@cheesewhisk Direction is very important - go counter clockwise - the opposite way that the router is spinning Just be careful with your direction. When you're routing a control cavity for instanc...

@cheesewhisk Practicing on scrap is one of the most important golden rules! I learned that chunk of wisdom from the mighty Dan Erlewine but it took me a while to actually implement it. 😂 I’ll ...

@cheesewhisk I think I might practice a bit on some scrap That's a good idea. Most of my cockups were with me getting carried away with the router. Having said that, my bit of practice scrap turn...

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. @cheesewhisk We are all in the same boat, we all have proof. 🤣 Sometimes I think my workshop s...

And I’m gearing up to prove it!

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. That theory has been tested many times ... I've got the guitars to prove it 😋

The compressor is very quiet as is the bench vent.

Just thought I would show off my new painting gear. Iwata airbrush and compressor, with a BenchVent extractor (with filters). Can’t wait to get going with these Createx paints. Attachment : 5E346...

@cheesewhisk I know what you mean about that edit button, it’s just sitting there... mocking you. Your jig looks great btw, let’s see some more.

@cheesewhisk. That is a keeper! May many neck blanks be surface routed on that!

@cheesewhisk But... isn’t that the headstock angle jig in your photo?

Well done - looks good - looking forward to watching the build. What woods are you going to use and what sort of finish?

@cheesewhisk Nice job with the design and drawing, it’s a build I want to do at some point too, it’s a shape I’ve always loved.

@cheesewhisk Ahh Harley Benton. Cheap guitar/expensive template 😆

That’s a gif btw, not sure why it doesn’t show that 🙄

Sounds good - Mahogany oiled with Gold sounds good!

@cheesewhisk Well you’ve gone and done it now, right on! Crazy headstock design, cool that you’ve done something different. I see that you also changed the lower horn for (presumably) better fret acce...

@cheesewhisk A one piece blank for an Explorer?!? That’s yuge! Attachment : image.gif

@cheesewhisk That’s a decent sized work shed for building guitars in. I’m lucky that I have a decent garage to work out of and a small bedroom in the house I use for the less messy jobs. I’ll be movin...

@cheesewhisk The picture of the sawdust is great! So what are you planning for your first build?
