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

Great job @koendb! Now get some sleep…

Excellent job @koendb. I like the finish on it.

Thanks everyone…@bpower @koendb @mattbeels @rocknroller912 @russ Really appreciate your comments..I’m afraid to say that I had to sack my assistant, he was making too many demands and becoming very high maintenance…!!! Next video coming v soon… Thanks @markbailey I was…   Read more»

Ahhh @koendb… I didn’t look at the photos close enough. It was before I fell asleep so I wasn’t paying enough attention 😆

I just finished experimenting with mixing wood filler @koendb what’s your plan with the ferrules then, settled on that yet? Not sure what your plan was with the filler but wanted to let you know I’d tried to use filler…   Read more»

Excellent @koendb! Looks like this one is done! Almost @Mattbeels! Almost, still need to do the roundoff , fix the dings, and finish it. I just finished experimenting with mixing wood filler and stain to solve the ugly area around…   Read more»

Excellent @koendb! Looks like this one is done! 👍

Congrats @koendb!
Hard to see from the pics … are the edges of the scratchplate straight or bevelled?  

@koendb Thats indeed the issue, the shaft of the ferules is one thing, but for me, what screws it up is that little lip that you need to cut out, to make the ferrules sit flush with the body. for…   Read more»

The router is actually a good idea @koendb I have them occasionally 😛 As suggested before I’d clamp the router down to the body with a wide base plate after aligning it if I was doing this on an actual…   Read more»

Given the result…   Read more»

@koendb other thought I had for this is if you get a loooong drill bit and make a thick drill guide from some hard wood on the pillar drill and then clamp this to the body and use that with…   Read more»

Getting the ferrules in was a disaster @koendb I really feel for you on this one, your picture of where the ferrules ended up is very similar to the mess I ended up with on my Tele kit build. Only…   Read more»

placed my bridge in the wrong spot.. I never learn 🤣  @koendb Yeah I’ve done that before. You will learn eventually, I promise. I find that if you think too far ahead, sometimes you lose sight of what you are…   Read more»

Not bragging,  but that’s about 5% of wood in pipeline. 
More trees to fell and plank yet.

Some of them are perhaps great candidates to cut up in small strips to make laminated necks. @koendb have you made laminated necks before, this is on my “to do” list after my first build. Partly due to the excellent…   Read more»

Knowing yourself is the start of wisdom’ 😋 

@koendb Yup, from Aristotle I believe and that adage makes me a wiseguy. Oh jeez I just can’t stop! Ba dum tissssssss
