Finally (almost) done. I still have to make a little cover plate for the truss rod and maybe adjust the slots in the nut a tiny bit. American walnut top, bosse cedar body and neck and some white venee...

@swepri After watching many vids I've found for 24.75 scale 630mm for the high E and add 3mm for the low works perfect. And for 25.5 scale I just do the 25.5 and add 3m for the low E. So far they've a...

Here’s where I am at the moment. Had to take a break. Temp is only 78f/25.5c but the humidity is 64%. After 2 facets I can wrong sweat out of my t-shirt. Y’all are welcome to come visit anytime. ...

Don't forget that the necks usually are a bit thicker at the heel end and thinner at first fret. So maybe shim up the headstock end a millimeter or two? If I undertand your setup correctly, that is.

@rathius I use regular car matt 1k, so simple, dry sand very lightly after to remove any overspray or that but there's none of this wet sanding or polishing. I ALWAYS sand through gloss lol Look at...

@steveh I have a kit I bought 2 1/2 years ago I’ve still not finished for that very reason. First thing was dropping the body after spraying the final coat of clear 🤦🏻‍♂&...

Yeah I learned that the same way. In my case it was at the neck socket. Yeah. I almost cried. The fix? Well as some may recall, I grew up in an auto body shop so the fix was body filler. Not auto body...

Thank you for the suggestion about the neck depth. I had already cut the neck to depth, so that’s probably not going to go. I think I will take one of my reject fretboards and use the whole thing as ...

I finally found it on Udemy! It's in the section on gluing the body blanks! Take the new razor blade and scrape it on a sharpening stone. It creates a burr which helps with scraping! Cheers!

I recall @markbailey providing a tip for how to make a disposable razor into an awesome scraper/planer and I can't find it again on udemy. Can anyone either point me to the session or just share how i...
