I think the issue really is down to the wonky fretboard alignment so the neck ended up slimmer than it should have been. The beauty of the jig is that this wouldn't matter. You don't machine the body...

And that, my friend, is why I hit the buy button. There's always going to be a next time right?

Thanks @koendb there's definitely enough meat on the back

What this guy said. 🙄👆 I have one and they are a must have. 👍

Sold. I think the issue really is down to the wonky fretboard alignment so the neck ended up slimmer than it should have been.

Hi Cheeswhisk, You need one of these! Shortly to be available from GMUK but can be ordered from me and I will credit M&C with their margin on the sale. Just make sure you let me know that you are...

Thanks @koendb I’m looking forward to building it back up again. I’m toying with the idea of painting the pickup covers white pearl to match the racing stripes. 🤔

Attachment : IMG_0787.MOV I had a horrible feeling this bit wasn’t going to go well. It fits but it just drops in, I know the glue will expand a little but I don’t think it’ll be enough right?

Not sure why that video is showing, I've uploaded it here.

I feel like I'm binge watching these on catch-up. That's because I am. Now I want to know what happens next ... let's click on part2 ... excellent save so far!

@tv101 I have some stain from there, decided against it for this build as it, well, just didn’t look right on the mahogany. It’s certainly a lot easier to apply cleanly though that’s for sure.I do als...

[edit](Good to see that the edit functionality has been fixed whilst I’ve been away 😋 ) The other brand I’ve used is “Osmo” particularly when I’ve wanted a clear or light shade to a top, rathe...

@tej I switched to the Crimson guitar stains. They’ve got a wide range of colours (which you can mix and/or overlay to create bursts, etc), they’re easy to apply and the results generally match the c...

found products that were more predictable @tv101 what did you change to? The main reason I went with this is as I don’t need spray equipment. Have to say the results I had previously were excellent t...

@tej - one of the reasons that I moved away from it is because it is very susceptible to any inconsistencies with the wood, the preparation of the wood, and the application of the product. I basicall...

Agreed on the prep - I have a cheap planer thicknesser that can cope with half a body blank at a time so could take thicker wood, prepare two halves of the body, and get it joined then through my sand...

As an indication ... I bought a plank of 27mm thick maple last week. 8' long, 8.5" wide. It's a nice clean plank with only a couple of knots at one end. Of course, you always hope that cleaning it ...

Nice!! I bet Mark has tried this with Carol's coffee table at some stage!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Coffee tables make good router sled bases 👍 Attachment : 530FCC18-DAD6-4C9E-838B-F7CCFC047EB4.jpeg
