@mattbeels 
You’ve been very quiet recently thought you had fallen off the planet 

 @russ, @mattbeels, @Boo, @Koendb, @rocknroller912, (@russ),@tv1, @russ, @mattbeels, @Boo, @Koendb, @markbailey Problem Solved! it was indeed ” MY scaling issue,” –  apologies to all for raising the Red Flag a little early… I’ll tell ya though, I really appreciate how so many brothers in arms came to comment with…   Read more»

@tv1, @russ, @mattbeels, @Boo, @Koendb, @rocknroller912, (@russ),@tv1, @russ, @mattbeels, @Boo, @Koendb TY, I’ve modified the top upper bout to not have the cut-away horn, instead, it’s going to have a continuous radii to the neck – similar to a Gibson Les Paul junior. I’ve ordered several parts, still waiting on…   Read more»

And turns out that an oily rag means different things to different people (including @mattbeels). Who knew!

He’s Germerican.

Trust you to lower the tone of the conversation 

Hey @mattbeels and @rocknroller912 thanks for the comments…my apron is getting very dirty…. I am in the middle of editing the update on the rossette saga…I will upload this evening.. No, Matt didn thear anything, but did some research and…   Read more»

How far should we twist his ear @mattbeels and I have to say I didn’t feel like fresh air this morning after last nights session on Guinness and Morgan’s Spice rum.
 

I think technically it was @mattbeels that first said I sucked at using a router 🤣 but who am I to argue.   No one will ever see it so it’s all good. I really need to get back to…   Read more»

@mattbeels will take a few more, tend to get carried away with the practical but so pictures take a back seat!

@mattbeels Well spotted you have a keen professional eye. I got carried away with the fret saw and didn’t look at the pencil mark. I will have to think of a cover up but it’s only a practice build before…   Read more»

Hah, a little suspense is a good thing @koendb. The first two have different nut widths, 43 and 45mm. I was talking about the third one, it has something else going on… @mattbeels Looks like it has 1-2mm written into…   Read more»

I’d probably try the @mattbeels approach.  Should be cleaner than dissolving it and risking it spreading out over a wider area. Congrats @cheesewhisk, that looks like a nice neat build. 👍   Why is it every time Mark says ‘it’s…   Read more»

Lathe it Down. 😆😆😆 @mattbeels Terrible joke. 🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👍  That’s a bummer about the fretboard but it still looks thick enough on the bass side, you should be alright. Good luck! Yeah it will be fine, it’s just a lot of…   Read more»

Any guesses as to what it’s for?

@mattbeels, oh come on man! don’t keep us in suspense like that! what is it for? (different nut widths? )

^^^^ @mattbeels

Now that I see it I can’t change it, it’s actually kind of funny @mattbeels now that I can see it it’s gonna bug me every post you write 😛😉 @dsari Welcome to the forum, as for: I’ll test each…   Read more»

How did you keep the cauls from slipping around on the body while gluing up? @mattbeels I put some double sided tape , which prevented the cauls from slipping, they still slip a bit, but only until they firmly grip….   Read more»

but even then keep in mind the few millimeters that you would lose to the saw kerf and having to plane the leftover piece (depending on how good the saw cut is).  The man called @mattbeels is right! It’s really…   Read more»

@mattbeels Nice jig Matt. 😁✌️
