Feeling a bit deflated today, I felt like I was making some decent progress but it’s clear I’ve got a long way to go.

The Bosch router I have has the power trigger on one of the handles. It also has a trigger lock, which I never use. When I was a teenager, I spent a summer working for a joiner and when he was teachin...

@cheesewhisk Looks like you’ve had a lucky escape from injury. The first time I tried to use a router about 30 odd years ago it kicked away from the work piece and nearly went into my leg, because I t...

I’ll take that. I’m sharing everything here, the good and the bad. I’ve literally no experience before I started a few months ago so it’s all a learning curve but I’m definitely learning and I do real...

Too be honest I think it was more my fault going too deep than it was the poor tapes fault. I have to agree with you @cheeswhisk I definitely think it was user error rather than a faulty product or a...

Absolutely shart myself 🤣

I did stop and started over taking a couple of mm at a time. @cheesewhisk Yeah after changing your shorts, right? 😆

"remembering opportunity" is a great way to look at it. Too be honest I think it was more my fault going too deep than it was the poor tapes fault.

At least there was no irrecoverable damage/loss from that remembering opportunity. 😀 I sometimes think it's a pain, but I always give the tape a squeeze with a clamp once I've used it to s...

Way, way too deep. There was a hump in the middle I hadn't really noticed until I was taking those big bites and that's what kicked the headstock off the tape I think. I did stop and started over taki...

If I am seeing this correctly then it looks as if you’re taking some big bites with the router there... Attachment : image.jpeg I’m talking about that island of wood in the middle, how deep are...

Luckily there’s plenty room to fix it. had a good day all round really. Truss rod fitting is the next job on the list.

If you set out in the expectation that you'll ever get to the end, then you'll always be disappointed because you can never get there. @tv101 Exactly that. 👍 @cheeswhisk Lower your expectati...

I think I’m going to light the BBQ and open a beer and tomorrow instal the truss rod and fretboard. That’s a great idea @cheesewhisk! Tomorrow you’ll be fresh (well, depending on how many beers you d...

Also wait a minute 🤣🤣🤣 yeah that’s fair actually

Telling 😂 not telling

as I’m always yelling the kids Take it easy there @cheesewhisk, it’s not their fault that you suck at the router! 😂😂😂

Feeling a bit deflated today, I felt like I was making some decent progress but it’s clear I’ve got a long way to go. @cheeswhisk Pick yourself up again, dust yourself off (literally maybe 🤣)...

I felt like I was making some decent progress but it’s clear I’ve got a long way to go. It's a never-ending journey @cheesewhisk. If you set out in the expectation that you'll ever get to the end, th...
