😲 Dry yer eyes mate...The easy (and probably only) fix: a coverplate - ditch the fancy battery box this time - who will know? We won't tell... Wrap the battery in foam (like the packing foam f...

On the fourth the flag on my drill but must have moved up with each of the other three hole. I practised on scrap but now I just want to cry @cheesewhisk Oops! Step away from it for a while, do somet...

The easy (and probably only) fix: a coverplate - ditch the fancy battery box this time - who will know? We won't tell... @cheesewhisk Actually, yeah that’s a good way to deal with it, just make a big...

Thanks Mark, Boo. Lots of deep breaths. I’m thinking of doing a second cover plate and aligning it with the first one. thanks for the help and ideas I think they’ve help the imminent meltdown. Also th...

I like your fix @cheesewhisk. Nice symmetry. 🙂🎸🙏🎶

@cheesewhisk You could even make them join up to sit right alongside the other one. Look at these two, one for the trem and one for the controls. Attachment : 26717399-2426-4704-8F07-AFD7E9AC7D96...

Don’t worry about what shape they are, they don’t have to be symmetrical. There are some weird and wonderful cover plate shapes out there and some can even be comical. Get creative and have fun! Rock...

Ha ha that’s a belter. If I’m honest the duel symmetrical plates will actually be easier as I already have the templates and the left over neck scrap I was planning on using isn’t quite wide enough to...

@cheesewhisk How about this? Just one big one, you will have to make a custom routing template and cover plate though. Attachment : E9A32182-574F-4BC7-B2CA-94373376E508.jpeg

@cheesewhisk Whatever shape(s) you go for, just remember that when you are routing the depth for the cover plate, set your router depth gauge to 2mm, not 42mm. 😉 Just a joke! Too soon? Ƕ...

1mm at a time right? You know me too well @boo which is exactly why I took your advice and walked away.

I also couldn’t help firing the burner up and a very early mince pie. 🔥🔥🥧🔥🔥 Attachment : 1B81E2C9-C149-4D0C-B3A5-D793C7E8427E.jpeg Attachment : 0374E...

Top Job

I couldn’t resist another test fit. There is no matt lacquer on the body yet and I need to do a final route of the neck joint once it’s glued in. Once I’ve glued the neck in and routed, I’ll fill any ...

My appearances are going to be slightly limited from now on. Hopefully when the dust settles @tv101, you'll be back entertaining us. You look like you've really enjoyed your wee spell of creativity...

That was a bit clever @jamesbisset - just a bit! Loved it!! My appearances are going to be slightly limited from now on. Back to work, which whilst only taking my time 8am-6pm, generally leaves me ...

@russ Jack of all trades. 🎸🥁🎤🎹💻😉

Acoustic neck part 1 done. Nothing too taxing here but I had to improvise with material removal due to my bandsaw not being big enough. Anyway onto the soundboard Attachment : 32CAE77A-4A53-4788-8...

Thanks @boo I can see small swirly scratches shining through the lacquer when I turn it in the sunhine, I don't know if these would polish out or not but I think I'm going to leave it as it is, I'm ...
