Hey Hursty - no problem ...I've been trying to get my head round this... 🙂 I don't think it makes any difference...as long as you follow the measurements I gave the angle should be the same...how much...

Hi guys. I'm just building the headstock angle jig for the bandsman. Excuse me if I'm being super thick here im totally new to all this so be gentle lol. OK so I'm following Marks video on it but I've...

Hi everyone. I stumbled across Mark's live 'Lockdown Lucy' streams during lock down in 2019, and I took his challenge when he said anyone who can draw a straight line can build a guitar. and...... ba...

got it in my small lathe to shave a bit off. Dang @boo, that’s a lot of work for some dots but good job! Reminds me of that Ratt song, Lathe it Down. 😆😆😆 That’s a bummer abou...

It worked well apart from the fact that I got a little over zealous with my radius block and because I was concentrating on sanding the inlays so much, I’ve accidentally sanded one side of the fretboa...

I used CA glue and accelerator to instal them with. I then sanded them flush with the fretboard. Attachment : 6C893579-1B22-49EB-9EE2-DE73FC64C99B.jpeg Attachment : D1ABC061-DB3A-4576-BA37...

I couldn’t find any yellow fret inlay dots that my customer had specified so I found some coloured acrylic rods so I could make some. Thanks to people on here for helping me find such places that sell...

@tej

Superb @koendb and I’m glad you like sanding. It’s one of those painters jobs that you have to get used to and just accept the tediousness of it. It’s all in the prep work, that’s what makes a good fi...

Looks great @koendb

Looking good @koendb

@darrenking Thanks I see now what I’ve been doing wrong and it should be turned like a hand scraper blade. It didn’t come with any instructions and I’ve been trying to get a normal edge. It’s my rough...

Hi @Rocknroller912 The key thing is not to sharpen it like a normal plane. Yes the steel will be softer that you may be used to but it needs to be, otherwise you would stand no chance of turning the e...

@darrenking Thanks for your comment. I’ve found the blade very difficult to sharpen even with a small roller jig and a diamond stone, so would be grateful for any professional tips that you can pass o...

Wow @likeakite! Ican only echo what others here have already said, awesome work!

Thanks Boo.....you're all so kind. As the string spacing is wider than a guitar on the lap steel, a normal slide wasn''t wide enough hence making this.

@likeakite That is a piece of art, it’s stunning. 😁👊

A great thing to do with your boy 👍🏻

Thanks so much for your kind words tv101...it was a fun project especially as my son had never used the lathe before.

Thanks so much Russ
