“This week I will be mostly reading and measuring” (Jesse’s diets). It’s raining here today so no work for me. But, I have just taken delivery of a parcel from the US of A which contains a book about...

{ The thinking behind this project... I always revert to my Strat. It's comfortable for me to play and has a rainbow of tone colours that I love. I really don't play the guitars I make or the others I...

Spalted Tele all finished and done, end of project! (Thank #£&*) It’s been a pain but I got there. The full build folder is here if you are interested: Attachment : 84F91413-22D0-4AB3-88F2-...

OK, all done! This my first attempt at making a nut. It’s not too bad, even though I say so myself. Attachment : 37CD0A76-AECF-44DB-8D87-9A0DDEC6E156.jpeg

From Baileigh today: "I can confirm for the UK it is 240V, the specification was showing the US version. Sorry for any confusion." Game on.

Just a thought, but it probably has the 2.5" port to increase the speed of the air flow where the dust is being generated to maximise the efficiency of collection.

Having downloaded the Ashley Isles catalogue they already do some flat spoon chisels that look like they might be pretty handy for brace carving. I've ordered a couple and I'll let you know how they ...

It may well still do! My electric technician- who does all my syntheziser maintenance, thinks they have made a listing error- and probably sell a european version at 220V. I will ring them tomorrow an...

That's fine John, but as I am feeling a bit down at the moment I was hoping for a couple of painkillers the get me back on my feet before I answer any more questions, even if just relating to the exa...

? ? Glad to see there are still people who know their classics.......

The one I got from StewMac is ok but the curve doesn’t extend all the way to the cutting edge so it doesn’t give as smooth a cut as I’d like at the end of the cut and tends to split the wood though a ...

Thanks for thoughts. I was really impressed with the Polyx Raw blend, on the floor, since it has a white additive that artificially keeps the surface white. The maple still looks like I just sanded it...

Oh wow. Might just go for it! It's amazing how the internet fails to return search items like this.

Thanks Mark. I ordered the 10mm curved guy- hopefully that's not too narrow for the job.

I’m getting there! Done it all by eye. Attachment : 6236D3D6-0031-4757-823F-F49F9E4D9A96.jpeg Attachment : 4594E8F6-C1C4-4471-A9F1-05E39A2D92D4.jpeg Attachment : C605D224-0AD3-4596-8D...

I’ve just taken delivery of some nut files, a nut blank and a nut shaping file. It cost a bit but I will have a go this weekend at making the nut I need for this guitar build. Attachment : 1B5225...

Posted by: darrenking Hey, That's been bookmarked! Thanks Darren Found this too Darren, it may come in handy one day. multi-scale fret calculator -

Here are some online links to calculators for guitar builders, including string spacing for the nut and multi-scale fretted boards. Multi-scale fret calculator - /p> Nut calculator for string spacing...

Yeah I know what you are saying about having the guitar there. I know I’m going to have to take the plunge sometime with nut files and making my own nuts. A may be able to buy some in a few weeks, it...
