@koendb I wonder if the bass side will have a muted response due to it being thicker. Difficult to sand it once the body shape is made but not impossible. Are you building on a flat board or using a m...

@markbailey Thanks. Can sleep now in peace. Cheers

@powerful : YES! Neck angle looks spot on - looks like there will be about 9mm space for the bridge once the frets are in - perfect. We can all stop worrying 🙂

@koendb thanks very much. It's all masked up now and ready for sealing etc. Should look pretty good as long as you don't look too closely. It's at this stage where I need to be brutally honest with...

@koendb Which side will be thicker, the treble or bass

Finally did some work after a lot of thinking. Had to use a plane to reduce the rough-sawn fretboard blank to straightness and size. I really would like to have a thinckness sander thingy. I had not u...

Dot markers and side dots in followed by frets today. All ready now for the final sanding process tomorrow. Cheers. Attachment : 200956BB-54B5-4A88-AE05-39127D45ED92.jpeg Attachment : ACEB...

@tv101 Are you still doing the jit.si virtual pub tonight

@tv101 I knew there had to be a trick to make them sound better. 🙂

Posted by: @bpower @rocknroller912 I wasn't aware that, if they were set up correctly, that would help them sound better. 🙂 Setting up a banjo is very similar to setting up a guitar. But there's one...

@darrenking Would that be an epoxy glue or (like @bpower is suggesting here) an epoxy resin? What is the difference? I know my dad used to use good old Araldite to fix a myriad of broken items. I see...

Thanks for the feedback @darrenking and @rocknroller912. Darren.... I really.... really want to use it with the stripes in the middle. I'm very glad you mentioned about the epoxy. I really did have mo...

@bpower Good advice from @darrenking I would follow it

Hi @bpower, Firstly, you really want to have the stripes up the middle, it is so much prettier that way. Secondly, if you are going to have a go at fixing this I suggest that you used an adhesive that...

@bpower I would worry about pulling the crack open with a plane, but a good sharp blade and thin shavings should be ok. In theory it shouldn’t be any different to planing over the centre join.

@rocknroller912 I am planning on using my hand plane to thickness it as my homemade sander is out in the shed and it is not just cold in there but it is "friggen" cold. That being said, generating hea...
