That’s one of my favourite tools - the little Lie Neilsen scraper plane. Once you have learnt how to sharpen it properly it can change your life!!

Planing fretboard the hard way but it’s good fun. It is of course my cheapest and nastiest bit of rosewood being a practice build. A very old piece from Touchstone Tonewoods some time in the 90s. I th...

Do you think I’ve got to many ? No such amount exists ... You have planned wisely to be able to meet future needs.

@koendb It was cheaper to buy in bulk than small quantities with postage and bulk discounts.

@rocknroller912 that is a lot of necks you gonna be building with those 🙂

I have all the original paperwork to prove it’s legally sourced. Also there more in the loft. @rocknroller912 Good stuff, I’m impressed. 👍

@boo I got some supplies when they were on offer. Wait till firms want to unload stuff. I think the rosewood was £6 each ten years ago and the Ebony was £10 two years ago. I like to spread my investme...

Now the big question - ebony or rosewood fretboard. @rocknroller912 Are you opening a new supply shop? 😳🤩

Questions for the experienced electric builders please on my practice run before going to the wood I got from Mark. Do I need to glue a fillet in to the last gap where the adjusting nut shows. I’ve on...

First job is making the blank flat and level and not having a drum sander it’s all done the old way with hand planes. That is indeed the hard way! Respect to those who have the skills to achieve that...

@mattbeels Thanks for your vote of confidence, I’ve spent some time this evening marking out the route for the truss rod channel and making sure the headstock still fits the blank. Not many mm to spar...

It may go horribly wrong. Something tells me @rocknroller912, that in your capable hands everything will be just fine. Have fun!

Thought I would have a practice run using the methods that Mark shows on the live streams before starting on the wood I bought from Mark & Carol. First job is making the blank flat and level and n...

Ican only echo what others here have already said, awesome work! @likeakite same for me .. I can only agree with the others here! Nice job

Wow @likeakite! Ican only echo what others here have already said, awesome work!

I had no idea it was such a manual process or that there were so many stages. But it did only take 2minutes ...

@markbailey. Thanks for this Mark. I was just thinking about this very thing this afternoon. Cheers, Russ 🙂🎸🎶🙏
