So my not so trusty dust extractor died last night and I need a replacement. If anyone has an M-class extractor they’d recommend, especially if it’s relatively cheap I’d love to hear about it!? There ...

I have some old frets off a knackered guitar so I’ll experiment with different glue like I should have done before doing it on my actual build 😬

I have thick, medium, thin and very thin superglue…… For fret filling I use the thin - the thinner it is the easier it ‘wicks’ - that also means that it can go everywhere…….

@frocesterbill ok so this is something I’ve clearly missed, had no idea that you could get different viscosity super glue. I’ll know for next time!

@Tej I use thin superglue and only add small drops - the drops vanish down the slot, usually by the time you get to the end of the fretboard you can go back to the start…..

@frocesterbill Thanks, indeed where it worked it looks fantastic it’s just the few where too much glue came out. i did some experiments after screwing some of this up too and turns out what’s happenin...

@jonhodgson that makes sense, where I didn’t screw it up the superglue has worked perfectly and I would tempted to go the same route again but I seing whips to be more precise than how I did it. I wat...

@tej I suspect it's a combination of1) fretboards are usually a tight grained wood 2) He wipes it off straight away Obviously try it for yourself on a piece of scrap first if you can, but I don't thin...

I think either way would be fine. The wood glue does clean up easily and you still need to do the job of cleaning/scraping the fret board before it is all done anyway so I dont think glue residue woul...

Superglue works - you do need to apply it in 3 or 4 passes on end side then when dry do the other - too much at a time and it will run down the fretboard and then it takes more effort to clean up. How...

Looking good @clinton. Are those carbon fibre rods that you have put in beside the truss rod? 🙏🎶🙂🎸

First time making a neck through. Nervous... Attachment : IMG_4205.mp4

@rocknroller912 I might need to do this as the fret board has ever so slightly snuck beneath the body. Alternatively I could just taper the very top outside edges of the pocket to match so it looks mo...

back in the olden days people could meet other people, shake hands, hug, chat face to face sat next to each other. Sometimes this even happened indoors, amongst the company of unknown but socially inc...

You mean, some people have *real* friends, not just virtual ones?? @tv101 Yes, back in the olden days people could meet other people, shake hands, hug, chat face to face sat next to each other. Somet...

You mean, some people have *real* friends, not just virtual ones?? It appears to be occurring.

a non-virtual friend You mean, some people have *real* friends, not just virtual ones??

@tv1 It's my design. Maybe a non-virtual friend will make one for your 60th birthday...

Nice work - of course - Marcel. What that your design, or something your friend designed? Not had my 60th birthday yet ....
