Great job there @steveadams and Ray!

Well done guys - top job! Very enjoyable to watch thanks for sharing!! Don't worry about the small fracture - it will be removed during the 'shaping the back' procedure...

@steveadams Good job and very brave to let someone else work your wood. I don’t like those European type mains plugs where the earth is an open terminal on the outside, alway fit a UK plug once the ye...

@steveadams. Another great job well done Steve. Good tip to use the offcuts to practice with first. I'll have to see if I can find myself a helping hand..... great double act. 😕🙏...

Hi Guys Here is part 8... I have a special guest this time...hope you enjoy... cheers Steve Attachment : PART 8.mp4

I always think it seems a bit silly to use a 350 watt drill so you don't put too much strain on your 1400W router! I think the idea there @jonhodgson is to lessen the strain on the router bits so the...

Hi Koendb and Jonathan, great to meet you both. I finally managed to find a Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S so have ordred that. Stocks of the machines seem to be trickling into the country now. I've...

Then when routing, you have to work away quite a bit more material, so I take my time and use several passes before my routerbitss' bearing touches the template. Only then I go a few mm deeper and rep...

Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S That’s a sweet saw @hursty, great job! That was the one I was considering but as my family all chipped in for my Birthday I went up to the Sabre 350, cuz why not, ri...

@mattbeels with the price of quality forstner bits I'm not sure that's a saving. I'm thinking of trying one of these for bulk removal.

You’re probably right @jonhodgson but since that’s the way Dan Erlewine does it, many will follow. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Cheers @mattbeels. I was originally considering the BS250 but managed to push it to the BS350. I'm pleased I pushed the budget a bit on this. Yes absolutely if you can get the Sabre it's definitely wo...

Cheers @rocknroller912 I just watched someone on YouTube saying that very same thing. The traditionalist in me still wants to use natural wood but maybe it's the way forward. 🤔🤨
...

@rocknroller912 ok maybe I really lucked out then, I tried exactly that but the ends just weren’t strong enough and dented with each cut.

@tej I use ordinary end cut pliers from the local diy shop with the end filed or ground to make a flat. They work fine and cost £2. When I go back to work later I will take a photo. Before I got fret ...

StewMac used to use DHL to ship to the UK - don’t know if they still do. Upside: incredibly fast. Downside: they’ll *always* bill you the full VAT & Duty due on the package value. If you assume...

@tv101 Thanks, they’re quite competitive to be fair but some things are clearly rebranded Hosco products which I’ve found cheaper elsewhere! Any idea where we stand ordering from there in terms of th...

Afraid I got most of my tools from StewMac. In my defence, it was about £1=$2 at the time ....

Hi, so I’m looking a few last tools, I need fret nippers (the home grown ones I have are dreadful!) Nut/saddle files, a fretting hammer and fret pullers. I’m after recommandations based on your experi...

You’re probably not getting into the business of refrets so you don’t need an expensive pair. @mattbeels I only need them for regretting 1 guitar but I love the neck on it and really don’t want to wr...
