I've just been watching your Bagpress laminations videos on Mark's courses Hi @russ, I'm pleased that you've enjoyed them and thank you for your comments. If you feel your high subsiding I have a You...

what are you going to make from that nice flat piece of Ash? Hi TV, Actually not that nice if you look closely! It has significant worm damage down one side so I would need to find another piece to m...

Just in case anybody thinks that my woodworking is limited to things controlled by a keyboard I thought I should put the flattening jig through it paces. I picked an old lump of ash measuring 200mm x ...

Thanks again Darren for all your work on this Thanks for your appreciation Russ, its much appreciated!

Hi Jonathan, You can get them both from me direct at the moment. I have already said that for every three neck jigs I sell direct I will credit M&C with the cost of another, so I am not trying to ...

I was in at work yesterday machining some birch ply......... So here we have the final version (so far as anything is final!) of the Flattening Jig complete with clamp holes on the rails (front and ba...

Hi Tej, I really don't think it matters too much but I wouldn't fancy doing much surface routing with a cutter below 10mm in diameter, even for a headstock. If you are looking at the kind of surface r...

Hi @ jonhodgson, that’s an interesting consideration but it does rely on the fret wire being manufactured to a very close tolerance and this isn’t my experience. Maybe brands differ this respect and t...

I’ve fretted 4 necks with a hammer so far As you all know, I really love a gadget or a jig but I just don’t understand the benefit, either in terms of speed of insertion, or of effectiveness, of usin...

need to be longer to flatten neck blanks as well as they are around 700 mm The layout of the components on an 8' x 4' sheet is pretty tight so if I can avoid having to enlarge the base it would be gr...

I'm just looking for some suitable air-powered brushes now ... I just sold this 4kw three phase blower on eBay! It could have run several hundred thousand air powered brushes! Attachment : IMG_22...

I can, but I’m not going to!

here’s a photo for you to try making. I can make a jig for that!!!

To quote the Beatles, yeah, yeah, yeah! Me thinks Boo doth protest too much! And thus Boo clocks up more points commenting on his own post about Boo clocking up lots of points. How does he do it ?

Apologies for any inconvenience Hi Mark, There has been no inconvenience and certainly absolutely no need for you to apologise. I am more than sure that everyone on your forums fully understands that...

Ok, I have been mulling over this ‘travel stop’ thing on the flattening jig and have been drawing little adjustable plywood stops with slots and screws and threaded inserts and so on. The problem is t...

as the double sided tape didn’t want to let go You could also consider screwing them onto the blank using screw positions that correspond to the pick up cut outs or control knob holes (if these haven...

When can you ship? Give me a few days to incorporate the mods and I should be able to run an initial batch by the weekend.

if the front lip had just a little more surface area I'll just machine a square hole in either side of the rails big enough to get a small clamp through. Simples!

Might the middle tend to get more use than the extreme edges and wear more for example? Birch ply is pretty hard wearing and you'd probably have to surface rout several thousand blanks to see any not...
