Thanks all, went with the .010 set, not likely to get to building an acoustic for a long while yet so certainly no point in the larger ones.

@rocknroller912 thanks, I’ve also found a different set, still from hosco but sizes 010"/.026", .013"/.036", .017"/.046" which are probably a better selection! I’m presuming here that there’s really n...

Posted by: @tv101 It's a bit cheeky really - "we only sell big chips, but you can also buy a saw to cut them smaller". @tv101 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Posted by: @robin Does anyone know what this gouge with the strange handle would have been used for I've no idea. Probably not something to have in your pocket when you're heading off to the pub tho...

Attachment : image.png Could you not just have bought a bag of smaller chips? It's a bit cheeky really - "we only sell big chips, but you can also buy a saw to cut them smaller".

Posted by: @russ Let us know how you get on with it @russ I will, it’s definitely sharp. But for how long?

Posted by: @boo don’t know how good or bad this saw will be but for £6.99 it’s definitely worth a punt. (29th October 2021) Let us know how you get on with it @boo. 🙂🙏🎶

Fret saw got here today. It's a Zona brand, so nothing too flash but it's the right size for my fret wire. Ran into some issues with the neck design, but it'll be OK I'll just have to make the neck jo...

@wolframmalukker Very nice indeed, keep going. 👍

@wolframmalukker That Macassar Ebony is going to nice looking fretboards. You're so lucky having such a well equipped workshop and SolidWorks too. I used SolidWorks in a previous life and still had a...

I don’t believe it let me check if it’s April Fool. Gosh I trIed it and it worked, maybe I will buy an extra lottery ticket this weekend just in case the luck holds.

Yep, they fixed it last week. I'm only concerned about the eggheads fixing covid now, I couldn't care less about England's Brexit. Roll on Scottish Indy2. I'll be there soon. 🏴󠁧฀...

They fixed the edit button! Hooray and jubilations...now just Covid19 and Brexit to sort out...minor issues in comparison... Cheers folks!

@tej There is a site in Portugal that sells individual Hosco nut files and there is a .009”” one at €19.50. Still pricey but none of these tools are cheap. They should sell without the VAT or collect...

@rocknroller912 thanks, for what it’s worth the use of imperial measurement was solely down to the strings and files being measured that way! Thinking about it the .008 set is on a guitar with a float...

@tej I can’t remember my previous comment but you have thrown me a bit as I always work in mm, however I’ve got my head around inches after some thinking. The set I use is 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm. I...

@rocknroller912 You answered a previous question around nut files but I couldn’t find it. Do you know what tolerance is generally acceptable for nut files, as in if I want a slot for an .008 gauge str...

@bpower Thanks. I hear what your saying. I thought It was never going to take the shape.. Whenever I changed one part another moved out of place. So back and forth like that. That being said, I should...

@tv101 Yes first time doing this but I think I've managed to get a result but I don't mind saying it was a very stressful experience. Fingers crossed it goes together ok. Thanks
