Hand sanding the radius, nearly there. Have to stop and get ready for music zoom then Acoustic Bliss. Attachment : 95469076-0F3B-45C5-977A-AB1D870DE4F6.jpeg

@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 bef...

@tej There's always a way.

@robin well I found a junior hacksaw blade, what I also found was a piercing saw i forgot I had so can easily get it out with that 🙂

@robin Thanks, I’d just assumed it’d be too wide but I’ll give it a test!

@tej Try a junior hacksaw blade to clean out the fret slots, it worked for me. A normal hacksaw blade might fit if you sand the sides off the teeth.

The fretboard is clamped on and drying, when I wiped the squeeze-out off a fair bit of the excess has ended up in the ends of some of the fret slots. Other than buying a fret slot saw does anyone have...

@Tej You are on a roll! nice work!

It all looks very neat even the bit you said is a mistake @rocknroller912 thanks, did I say it was a mistake, they’re erm, internal tone voids to create a resonance cascade that will enhance the vibr...

@tej It all looks very neat even the bit you said is a mistake

Got the fillet sorted, had to make a custom one to cover up where I’d routed the slot too wide. There are still two thin gaps where I screwed up the slot even wider but that shouldn’t be a problem. Un...

Looks great @koendb. 👍😁 🎶🙂🎸🙏

I do like to do things the hard way. Radius the fretboard by hand. Can anyone spot the mistake. Thanks to @darrenking for instruction on how to sharpen the Nielsen scraper blade I’m cooking on gas now...

Being a tool junkie I bought a very nice carbide scraper burnisher from Workshop Heaven, but it seems you can use pretty much anything that's hard enough.

@clinton Good job I still cut wood by hand like this as I don’t have room for big machines, so have great respect for other people who do it.

As thin as 5mm. From fretboards to acoustic tops. Attachment : FullSizeRender.mov

Quite useful if you do not have the proper bandsaw. Takes a long time but works great Attachment : IMG_4085.MOV

Hi I made a frame saw based on a Tom Fidgen design specifically for jobs like this.

This afternoon, I installed the bridge, drilled the holes for the strings, installed the ferrules ( a much much cleaner result this time! )I've put strings on the guitar, filed a little notch in the s...

Everything seems to be ok with the glueing! Removed the clamps, installed the vintage Kluson tuners as well Attachment : IMG_20210526_091304970.jpg
