Cheers @Tej - it's been a bit of a journey for me over the past few months. Not having done anything like this previously, the first few efforts were "treated kindly" by the audience!! Bliss last ni...

tv101 Enjoyed your music on Bliss last night, it was better than Radio Scotland.

I didn’t manage to get the pin in the hole on the 10th fret, I think I just dug into the wood and thought it was in.

@cheesewhisk so from one of your images I can see you’ve used pins to locate the board as Mark suggests, what I don’t get is how that’s meant you didn’t get it located where you wanted it. Consensus s...

@rocknroller912 Working with wood, you're probably fine, especially as tolerances of 1/10th mm are probably plenty good enough. If you're trying to place accurate holes in metal, where aside from the ...

Centre drills work for me, maybe I’m missing the point. @rocknroller912 🤣🤣 Very good 👏👏👏👏👍

I don’t know if people have seen these before, it’s what I use to make accurately positioned holes. It took me a while to find them so I’m a bit behind the discussion. They are mostly a metalwork bit ...

I came upon this youtube video, I thought it would be of interest. I never saw this before.

@tv101, if you have a CNC machine, then fair enough.Crimson use theirs for their production line models, it's the one offs and student builds that use the angle grinder method. They're not unique in d...

Angle grinder! (seriously) Hmmmmm @jonhodgson - I think I'll try working with the CNC machine first! Though I can imagine it being the sort of approach that Crimson would use. Not criticising them a...

@boo You can get ones with holes in them which when they spin makes the disk almost transparent so you can see what you're doing. I haven't tried them myself yet, but I met a guy who'd used them on a ...

@clinton.. Just.. Wow!

Out of the park @clinton....

We could have a poll on which thread to use .... @tv101 We could but it would slow the project down. 😀✌️

I prefer this version. Much nicer thread. @tv101 Use the other one, it’s for a good cause. 😉
