I had to do something vaguely similar when some idiot routed the bridge pickup cavity in the wrong place. Wrong as in, 1" out, and just where the bridge posts needed to go. Idiot. I Some idiot had als...

And you've given me another idea..... CNC machined repair blocks with a matched routing template. Similar to the repair system I fashioned for the cable socket and kill switch holes on my electric bui...

Sending GCode data to a CNC controller is a bit like asking Marvin to open and shut doors! He’d probably find that depressing! It was a bit of a pita, because my main machine and the CNC laptop aren’...

Cheers @koendb @mattbeels I kept carving into and thinking, well something else I suck at. @tv101 this is the bit I've really been looking forward to and it really paid off, I'm stupidly proud of it a...

Isn’t that a great feeling? Making something so tactile and comfortable feeling?

CNC machined repair blocks with a matched routing template. Just how many mistakes do you think we make @darrenking? You could sell loads! 😆

Looking good @cheesewhisk! 👍

Cheers @russ that seems to be the trick, keeping at it.

You're getting there @cheesewhisk. Keep at it. 👍😁 🙏🎸🎶🙂

It’s an old machine, but could probably handle a bit more work. Sending GCode data to a CNC controller is a bit like asking Marvin to open and shut doors! You could probably run your router from an M...

Any idea whether 3mm is close enough to 1/8” to be interchangeable Hi TV, it depends a little on the construction of the collet but it is more likely that a 1'8" collet could successfully take a 3mm ...

Cheers @darrenking Ive got 3mm, 4mm, 6mm and 1/4” collets. Any idea whether 3mm is close enough to 1/8” to be interchangeable?? My first project completed, but it took a little longer than I’d hoped...

@darrenking CNC machined blocks and templates would be a tremendous time saving for repair jobs. It would also take away a lot of stress for builders knowing there is an easy fix for mistakes. Hand ma...

I’m going to block it and reroute it Hi @boo, I don't think you need worry about the strength of an end grain block going in there, as you said the stress is being exerted forward of the repair. If y...

I’ve done a similar type of job where the owner wanted to remove the tremolo bridge and fit a fixed one. I did it by creating a template to fit the tremolo cavity using thick Perspex and then used thi...

Wow! That's some investment the person has made. @tv101 You are gonna love how it’s gonna sparkle. ✨✨✨✨✨✨

but the thing is, it was made in America and shipped to me for painting Wow! That's some investment the person has made.

To be brutally honest, having just watched the video, is it worth saving that body? It doesn't look to be the best mix of woods, and with the combination of the misplaced trem rout, and the rout-throu...
