@steveadams I made an inlay from walnut and found it was tricky so good luck with it

Thanks for all the replies guys.. I think I have no choice but to scrape out the inlay and try and make a new inlay from rosewood to contrast the spruce... It will take some fiddling...but hey ho... o...

@steveadams Oh Steve that's a bit of a bummer. Sorry I can't give any advice but I've got every faith that you are going to come up with a solution. The bracing does look great. Keep it up. 🙂...

@steveadams sorry things have gone wrong for you. One thought that crossed my mind is that you could cut/route (can’t recall what you did in the first place) out what’s there and replace it with a pre...

@steveadams I feel your pain. I’m trying sound hole inlays with a dremel after years of using hand cutters and am not having success either.

@steveadams Oh, you look so disappointed, just pull yourself together and think of the fun you're going to have finding a way to fix it. I can't offer you any advice as I haven't built an acoustic ye...

Ugg @steveadams. That sucks. I've never used the rubber backed stuff but I assume it would need to be damn near flush with the top going in so you didn't go through the decorative part. If it was me, ...

Hey Guys Here is part 9.....I need help.... Attachment : PART 9.mp4

Hi @tej no, it was just applied to clean wood.... worked really well.. cheers Steve

I've just got a couple of Screwfix Titan 1400W vacuums - had one but moving it around was a pain as I have two rooms - the power take off works and it keeps dust down - still wear a mask - looked at o...

I sold 😥 my Mexican Strat - I got it very cheaply on eBay - lots of fret wear on frets 1 to 6 on the top three strings - one piece maple neck with varnish on fretboard - I thought that I might...

I have some old frets off a knackered guitar so I’ll experiment with different glue like I should have done before doing it on my actual build 😬

I have thick, medium, thin and very thin superglue…… For fret filling I use the thin - the thinner it is the easier it ‘wicks’ - that also means that it can go everywhere…….

@frocesterbill ok so this is something I’ve clearly missed, had no idea that you could get different viscosity super glue. I’ll know for next time!

@Tej I use thin superglue and only add small drops - the drops vanish down the slot, usually by the time you get to the end of the fretboard you can go back to the start…..

@frocesterbill Thanks, indeed where it worked it looks fantastic it’s just the few where too much glue came out. i did some experiments after screwing some of this up too and turns out what’s happenin...

Superglue works - you do need to apply it in 3 or 4 passes on end side then when dry do the other - too much at a time and it will run down the fretboard and then it takes more effort to clean up. How...

First time making a neck through. Nervous... Attachment : IMG_4205.mp4

@rocknroller912 I might need to do this as the fret board has ever so slightly snuck beneath the body. Alternatively I could just taper the very top outside edges of the pocket to match so it looks mo...

Live performance all right. Fourth take, believe it or not. Glad you enjoyed it. The appeal? That’s a story for another time 😉
