I’m going to block it and reroute it Hi @boo, I don’t think you need worry about the strength of an end grain block going in there, as you said the stress is being exerted forward of the repair. If…   Read more»

My next job is to order some new cutters Hi TV,  Hopefully you’ve got 6mm and/or 1/4″ collet and 3.2mm (1/8″) collets. I would suggest using the 6mm Wealden spirals for cut out and clearance operations and a 6mm ball…   Read more»

expect this excellent design to be adaptable to a 335 style neck tenon joint? HI @jamesbisset, I don’t see why not. The jig just provides a method of easily producing a template allowing you to machine a recess that precisely…   Read more»

making new and exciting cock-ups Nice looking machine TV! And don’t forget accurate! They will be the most accurate mistakes you have ever made and if you keep pressing the button you can make them over and over again!! 🤣…   Read more»

Sorry @jonhodgson, I got confused.
Same answer applies, it’s great.

what’s your opinion of that little Makita router? Hi @russ It is, without doubt, one of the most useful little bits of kit in my workshop. Surprisingly powerful, it comes with about three or four different types of base (plunge,…   Read more»

Or a piece of tape even!

I caught a wee glimpse of you both on Acoustic Bliss last night.

Well thank you @russ for breaking ranks and letting the cat out, so to speak!

How come this is the first mention I have ever seen of ‘Acoustic Bliss’ in the forum? I had no idea it even existed! Got it on right now and its bloody awesome, very impressed!

The factory in Mexico has got rosettes  sorted! I think you’re making a bit of a fuss Steve!!! Watch and learn😂😂

Just watching a guitar and rosette being made on ‘How do they do that’

Hi Steve, you see that dust extraction port on your router? If you are lucky you might just find that a vacuum cleaner hose fits on that!😂😂😂

Irish jazz banjo!! I like your thinking! Now if only we can spoof TV’s forum account we could have a real laugh!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😇

cheaper than buying the parts. I have had at least four people come to me thinking that I can make them an acoustic guitar cheaper than they can buy one for on eBay! And it’s not that they were looking…   Read more»

If the material is good quality, and I’m sure it is,  then please give Mark first option on it. He may be able to find it a good home.

Nothing wrong with a banjo. Hey @rocknroller912 I agree totally, I’ve always wanted one, just please don’t tell TV10101 I said so or I’ll lose all of his respect! 😂😂😂 And never mention banjos and jazz in the same sentence!…   Read more»

two tubs of aquacoat Two?! That’s not an over ordering mistake, that’s just having one spare in stock! I’ve got 40 4A uke soundboards making their way to me on a slow boat from Canada as I write! Seemed like…   Read more»

Hi peeps! The first pic is a screen shot form the CNC tool path software (Vectric VCarve Pro) showing a preview of the machined 4’x4′ MDF sheet. All the little tabs are because, with so many small components nested so…   Read more»
