Interesting thoughts, I’d not looked in detail at the additional bits and pieces that would need doing to the table saw etc which makes it instantly less appealing. Just how short of time are you? @...

I am by no way an expert here and I am also trying to decide if I want to start cutting my first fret slots. I've looked into how to convert an old table saw into a fretting machine but after you get ...

Hi Tej, It might be more complicated than you think to adapt a table saw for fret slotting. The fret slotting blades are usually much smaller diameter than the regular blades and therefore you will ne...

They certainly supply me, and therefore, GMUK

More jolly Irish stuff

What's not to like ... I do like a bit of Goldfrapp @tv101. I tried to see her a few years ago but missed out. Hopefully one day. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Thanks lads............. I must say, this is the first project I am absolutely, completely 99,5% satisfied with.... (there's always something, right?) I think I'll call it The Vaccinator and inlay a s...

@tej Here is an example of how an oiled finish can darken mahogany. The first photo is before oiling in 2003 and the second one is from 2015 and shows no deterioration in the finish despite being kept...

@tej Oil finishes are hard wearing and easy to touch up if you need. Another advantage is they don’t chip or spread if you do get a knock. Just rub out the dent and apply more oil. I did an oil finish...

Good to see some new faces (ok, just the names really!) there last night ....

Seriously, unless you're going to be making a *lot* of fretboards, I'd say that this is the best option; Best? Simple to use and set-up, no need for jigs on your tablesaw, or for getting a load of...

@russ they do look nice, this is the problem, I love the hand tools but am all to aware of the time I’d need to put in to perfect something I can do on the table saw in seconds. Time is something I do...

That link doesn’t go to any particular product/tool. @boo circular saw Saw Mark using one in his one lesson

@tej. Oops. I forgot that Mark & Carol supply them in the shop. Get it from here. 👍🪚 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Hey @tej. Not sure but I think these guys supply Stewmac and other guitar making companies with their fret slot saws. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@tej That link doesn’t go to any particular product/tool. Do you mean a fret slot saw? Or a circular saw blade? Fret slot saw -

Has anyone used one of these blades for fret cutting, the most popular I’ve seen it on from Stew Mac who’s price is just laughable? If you know of a cheaper source for a quality blade please shout.

Looks like this is out of stock atm, but how about something like this ... With a red, or clear, finish over the top? Attachment : P1190492.JPG I used to use Andy's stuff on all of my builds, ...

@rocknroller912 Thats what I was presuming with the “dull” look, it’s hard to tell what anything will look like without testing. I think there was a finishing oil someone mentioned that was used but ...

@tej I think colour options while still seeing the grain will be very limited due to starting with a dark base of mahogany. Also depends what shade of brown your mahogany is. Brown isn’t a primary co...
