I confess. I´m not really a guitarist. I do play guitar. And I play bass. But inside me there´s still the drummer. When I was a kid I wanted to be Keith Moon. Drumming fascinated me and it still does....

I hope this video review helps other people make their mind up about this jig, it’s very good and worth the investment.

The scale length template that you insert into the jig, houses the fretboard blank, using NEC tape (not the masking tape trick!) 🤣 The scale length is determined by a pin that is located in t...

Next was to check the saw (Crimson Guitars fret saw) for square. I used a small engineers’ square on all four sides. Attachment : DE94A3E5-4FC7-4FE6-A594-2C68701F6CB7.jpeg

I took a measurement from the fret tang length with my callipers, I then transferred it to the adjustable parts for the saw height. These are easy to loosen/tighten with a #3 Alan key. I lowered each ...

The fret slot jig from @darrenking that @tv101 sent me is an excellent prototype. My first impression was that it is an intuitive design so leaves little for the user to figure out. I say if you can g...

Nice burner @boo!!! @tv101 Yeah thanks, it keeps the house warm in the winter. We don’t use the central heating, no need. I don’t have a guitar graveyard, I cremate the dead ones! 🤣

Nice burner @boo!!!

@tv101 Postie should deliver a little package tomorrow. Hope it helps. Thanks TV, much appreciated. I had the router out again today, managed to put a radius on the front edge of the body without ...

@robin - Postie should deliver a little package tomorrow. Hope it helps.

I can recommend retirement, I wish I'd done it sooner. I just-about retired a few years ago. But then I lapsed. Moved house (to something needing money spent on it) and then people offered me wor...

@deej I need to retire. I can recommend retirement, I wish I'd done it sooner.

@tv101 I've got various bits of veneer here. I'd happily put a headstock-sized piece in the post for you. Light, or dark? That would be fantastic, a peice of dark please, it's a mahogany neck. I w...

work getting in the way again. I need to retire. You & me both @deej! I will reveal all soon Temptress!!

@robin I could glue on a thicker piece then surface route it down to veneer thickness I'm just wondering ... you'd use the router to get yourself out of a problem situation that the router got you i...

I haven't got the equipment to make a veneer to cover the mess on my headstock, but I guess that I could glue on a thicker piece then surface route it down to veneer thickness.

Just watched the second half of today’s session on catch-up. Wow - that fretboard is looking stunning!!
