Looking forward to seeing your builds here. Welcome

@boo looks great. I think I've found an alternative to the treble bleed - the 50s wiring. Google it. Apparently a thing. It will give a similar effect. I did it on my Tele and the effect is nearly the...

Awesome - thanks folks. Very helpful suggestions. I'll leave it unsolved in case anyone else has ideas.Have a great rest of your day!

Hi friends, I routed my first headstock angle this week. It went well however I came dangerously close to losing the nut line. Does anyone have advice on the best way to preserve that nut line (other...

Something about music and software technology. I think there's so much overlap, including the planning and estimating! 🤣 Welcome and I look forward to seeing your progress.

@clinton thanks for asking. I think it will definitely poke through. I've filled the gouges with resin. I'm actually curious to see how that turns out. I'll keep you posted. Also, I've found that I'm ...

not sure why the audio came out so slow! Weird

My attempt at fixing the gouges left by the cranky router Attachment : channel epoxy.mp4

Turns out our shop had some faulty colletes! I'm pretty sure these gouges will expose themselves so I'm going to try a little resin and make it a feature! More to come

Ran into my first mishap. After a test run on the router table with some pine, my truss rod cavity got poked full of holes by a slippery router bit. turns out sapele is really really hard, and our col...

Made some patterns on the laser cutter. I'm using fairly thin MDF hardboard, My plan is to use the router table rather than handheld so I believe the thin template shouldn't pose a problem. I'm not sh...

I agree! Fortunately someone else at the space, more competent than myself, made that jig. Made my life easy. The digital angle ruler really helped too!

Used a taper jig with the tablesaw for the first time. I think the headstock angle jig came out pretty good but we'll see when we actually use it Attachment : IMG-20230615-WA0010.jpeg Attach...

Welcome! Are you signed up for any of the courses?

Yes - I believe it's the same "build an electric guitar" course as what's available here.

I finally found it on Udemy! It's in the section on gluing the body blanks! Take the new razor blade and scrape it on a sharpening stone. It creates a burr which helps with scraping! Cheers!

I recall @markbailey providing a tip for how to make a disposable razor into an awesome scraper/planer and I can't find it again on udemy. Can anyone either point me to the session or just share how i...

@nsj Very cool - and a great way to use all of your wood. I'm hoping to start finding old free tables to upcycle into guitars after I get a little more experience under my belt.

Great. Thanks for that.
