@rocknroller912 that is a lot of necks you gonna be building with those 🙂

Today was a good day! Sanded the complete body with 100, 150 and 240.Call me crazy but I actually like sanding a guitarbody .. I enjoyed it so much, that I decided not to do the contour roundovers wit...

Thanks for that @markbailey ! Gonna find a similar supplier more locally, but at least I know what to look for now 🙂

Nice work @Steveadams!

not sure in duty from Europe now @tej, yeah thats why I prefer mainland Europe companies lately. I do buy from UK/US based luthier shops on occasion, but only if I can't find it here. Nothing to do w...

what’s your plan with the ferrules then, settled on that yet? Not sure what your plan was with the filler but wanted to let you know I’d tried to use filler in the past and if you try to drill near ou...

Excellent @koendb! Looks like this one is done! Almost @Mattbeels! Almost, still need to do the roundoff , fix the dings, and finish it. I just finished experimenting with mixing wood filler and stai...

I will probably wait on a good deal/opportunity to buy a bandsaw. Until then , the jigsaw or a friends bandsaw will have to do. I am in no rush

Soud advice Grr I wish the edit function would work properly! I meant 'Sound advice' of course.

Don't rush to buy something almost-good-enough now Soud advice. I now did a couple of builds with nothing more then a jigsaw and a router. I t works, it just takes longer. With the jigsaw, you just h...

Hi James, you're music reminds me of the early 80's alternative Scottish music scene.....Orange Juice, Josef K, Aztec Camera and the like. Yes! It definitely had that vibe from the 80's! What is a co...

f you were able to use a step drill you could drill the 8mm and 10mm at the same time and guarantee concentricity. @Robin I also thought of using stepdrills, and I have some of those laying around. T...

just a thought about this the ferrules I had, had a lip round them so you’d need to cut a wider recess too with a larger bit if you wanted them flush. Thats indeed the issue, the shaft of the ferules...
