@tej Marquetry is different to fretboard inlays, it’s contrasting pieces of cross grained wood traditionally fixed in with hot hide glue. Tracing paper can be used for both to draw the shape, so for ...

Evening you lovely people! My dream build that I’ll eventually make will need to have much more excitement on the fret board than some dots. I’ve a few ideas that I want to try but wanted to understan...

More Great Work @clinton. 👍😁 🙏🎸🙂🎶

Nice one @clinton, it looks killer! How about a shot of the headstock?

Great job @blake, the heel looks awesome!

@blake Good looking I like simple lines

@blake A nicely carved neck joint there, a good job well done.

Great job! Simple is often better! Looking forward to the next build 😉

@blake looking good, great job!!

@tej I get your idea now. I usually align the neck with a straight edge along each side of the neck and make a pencil mark on the body from the outside of the straight edge. Then I measure the distanc...

@rocknroller912 exactly the same as the one I’ve made but the back of the template would go to just before the edge of the body past the bridge. If I align the centre lines on the pattern and body at ...

@tej That sounds interesting but I cant imagine what it would look like. Have you got a plan.

@tej looks like you are getting the hang of guitar building now, making your own jigs. In the past I’ve used a neck template that was slightly bigger than the pocket template so it doesn’t quite fit i...

@rocknroller912 I like that idea too, it does however presume I’ve got the sides even 🤔😉 I’ve got to remake the neck pocket template anyway after so will make it long this time, I thin...

@tej Its always difficult making a one off design because a lot of time is spent refining the process then it’s never used again.

@rocknroller912 Absolutely, I think a lot of what I’ve done will be used again though 🙂 At least it will if I have my way 😬 The effort for most jobs done well goes into the preparation...
