Thanks @nsj I'll take a look. I'd go for glue in, I think. I'm often finding with guitar building (but can be asked to life in general) is that I often don't know what I don't know. So when looking a...

@nsj I saw your post on Instagram and hoped you'd share more photos here. It's a great job! I've only made double cutaways up to now, but fancy a pop at a single cut. In your experience is there anyt...

@nsj Cheers buddy. Sounds like I need to keep the chap with the drum sander sweet😅

Hey @nsj Sounds like a good plan, thanks. I had thought about a router sled, but was worried about chip out on figured woods. Following up with the planner and then the plane to get it really flat ma...

Thanks @russ !

Cheers @russ, that's good to hear. I should have specified I'm taking about making electrics. So I'm thinking about carve or drop tops on the bodies, bit also the neck blanks and gluing the fretboard...

Hey @russ, thanks for the reply and suggestions. Do you have any experience of these machines? I can use a plane to a degree, but my skills are limited for sure and practice can only make that better....

Hey folks, looking for a bit of advice. Up to now I've either bought or paid for my timber to be planed flat, whether it be neck & body blanks, but also tops for gluing into the body. I'd like to...

@jamesbisset it's looking awesome! A proper jazz box and love the headstock detail.

Thanks @tv101! A slow and steady process by hand. I think having z-poxy as a sealer helped stabilise the top and helped the crispness of the line.

You've all been very good builders, so you can have an update from me as a reward😅 I've got the necks glued on two of the builds on, with the third going under the clamps just now. I'm really...

@nsj looks very cool!

Hey @brie This is a link to the tops, nothing secret squirrel!

Cheers @Clinton, plenty left to do yet but the limba one recovered it's neck this morning

Hey @jamesbisset I find using whip tips to control the speed/application of ca glue a game changer and helps prevent bubbles.They often fit directly onto the bottle, but you can also decant a bit of ...

Hey @boo Thanks for your comments. It's only at grain filling stage at the moment. The z-poxy really brings out the figure in the wood and acts as a sealer to protect the stained top. As I said above,...

Thanks @tv101 I love what an oiled finish brings out in the wood, but I'd been looking for a finish closer to the qualities of lacquer, but without the need for spraying as it's just not an option in...

Hey folks, Thought I'd share an update on what I've been up to (whether wanted it or not). I know I wanted to build more even before finishing my second electric in January. I realised I'd 'accidenta...

Hi @jamesbisset, I'd you're doing a tester it might be worth trying the black thick ca glue from O3 adhesives. I've not used their black, but their clear ca is good, as is the accelerator. They're a...

@nsj utter madness, I absolutely love it! I supposed shielding the electrics shouldn't be a problem...
