Thanks @frocesterbill it's all getting exciting now it's actually moving on. I've got a 1pc mahogany blank for the body, then a mahogany neck blank and a rosewood (pre cut) fretboard from the shop her...

After finishing the design course I've set to work and drawn out my very first design. I'm still waiting on my controls to arrive and I've gone for a tune-o-matic bridge so I need to draw the four pos...

@cheesewhisk Well you’ve gone and done it now, right on! Crazy headstock design, cool that you’ve done something different. I see that you also changed the lower horn for (presumably) better fret acce...

@cheesewhisk A one piece blank for an Explorer?!? That’s yuge! Attachment : image.gif

@osceola I think it looks killer! You did a great job on that volute too. That fretboard looks awesome as well, what kind of wood is it?

I finally got started on my bandsman, this is my third build, my first since finding the site and live streams. Decided to make up a laminate neck blank and ended up having a slight issue with the thi...

@cheesewhisk Direction is very important - go counter clockwise - the opposite way that the router is spinning Just be careful with your direction. When you're routing a control cavity for instanc...

@cheesewhisk Practicing on scrap is one of the most important golden rules! I learned that chunk of wisdom from the mighty Dan Erlewine but it took me a while to actually implement it. 😂 I’ll ...

@cheesewhisk I think I might practice a bit on some scrap That's a good idea. Most of my cockups were with me getting carried away with the router. Having said that, my bit of practice scrap turn...

@boo and that's why I love this place. I'm still laughing at the fact the first real job is to route the neck blank, I have a shiny new router, my first router and the first thing I'm meant to do is a...

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. @cheesewhisk We are all in the same boat, we all have proof. 🤣 Sometimes I think my workshop s...

And I’m gearing up to prove it!

Sometimes I really do think I'm putting your 'any idiot can build a guitar' theory to the test. That theory has been tested many times ... I've got the guitars to prove it 😋

Cheers for answering my head stock questions on the live stream @markbailey In answer to your question 'how big is this headstock anyway?' it's here above, obviously under the thread entitled 'Neck An...

Attachment : IMG_0076.jpg Headstock template, need some cleaning up

Thanks @clinton Did some more template work today, need to pick up some smaller screws for the actual neck angle.

@cheesewhisk. That is a keeper! May many neck blanks be surface routed on that!

@cheesewhisk I know what you mean about that edit button, it’s just sitting there... mocking you. Your jig looks great btw, let’s see some more.
