RE: Second build

Hey @nsj, I've watched the vid they do on Osmo. He uses an Osmo woodwax oil (I guess similar to finishing oil) before applying the Osmo polyx finish. Is that what you did too? I thought the polyx was ...

RE: Second build

Thanks @nsj I'll check that out @russ I don't have any more photos, but essentially I'm clamping directly on to my bench top. It was all a bit of an experiment and I had planned to cut some holes in t...

RE: Second build

@nsj yeah, good suggestion! I've not done it on this neck, but I have another 1" blank and a small selection of veneers. Could look pretty cool. Apologies in advance for the incoming interrogation! Wi...

RE: Second build

@brie thank you. Nice Bo Diddley vibes on your build, looks great! I've got some of crimson's stains, but not their oils. I used liberon finishing oil on my last build, is crimson's much different to ...

RE: Bolt-on necks and trussrods

Mine are all one way. I've not watched that video yet. The truss rod recommended for the Bandsman build is a slimline 2 way and that fits into a neck with glued fretboard without issue, if that helps.

Answer to: Bolt-on necks and trussrods

Hey @swepri, I've not made any bit on necks yet, but I've set up quite a few guitars with bolt on necks. The vintage approach is to have the adjustment in the heel. Fender later changed it to the head...

RE: Scarf headstock jig

@clinton thanks again. I made the box section longer at 10" (as my blank is thicker) and that's really worked. Attachment : PXL_20230909_135052225.MP.jpg Attachment : PXL_20230909_14193656...

Answer to: Scarf headstock jig

Hi @clinton, thanks for the reply. Have you made this jig too? I did think the thickness of the piece would have an effect, but didn't think it would be that much - shows what an idiot I am! I've had ...
