On the subject of fret pressing: There are fret pressing cauls available which you can use with a pillar drill. Does anyone happen to use these and are they any good?

Whoa.... too rich for my blood...... Well.... you did mention it's expensive once or twice.... BTW, are you familiar with Chris Monk from Highline Guitars in the States? He has a nice Youtube channel ...

Mark, you are using UV curing, am I correct? I'm curious... What kind of laquer and lamps are you using? Would it be feasable (i.e. worth the hassle and funds) for the hobby guitar builder? Maybe inte...

Oh man...... That Big Red One..... Wasn't that the nickname of the American 1st Infantry Division? I digress...... Flame maple top, stain, faux binding, high gloss spray job, diamond inlays.... All in...

That looks absolutely smashing.......

Hollowing out a guitar body is also messy, noisy and time-consuming....... And make sure you've got an extra large router base. But it is worth the trouble, thinlines sound great.........

Oh.... and be carefull with a belly carve.............

Congrats with your newest offspring! Really great and that bridge is really something else..... Appropriate glass of bubbly, you deserved it!!
