@darrenking The bagpress system looks great, it gives me all sorts of ideas I'd like to try out in guitar building (says the guy who has still not got started on testing finishes, let alone build 1). ...

Hi Boo, could you share some brands and the suppliers for the 2K products you use please? cheers Darren

@russ Probably a polyurethane clear with a matt binder in it. Cheers @boo. Have you got any recommendations? 🙏🎸🙂🎶

I have used rattle spray oil based polyurethane and wipe on poly as well. Works perfectly well and gasses off faster in half the time as lacquer but I find not as better in result. @clinton This is w...

Can I ask if anyone knows what finish Fender use on the back of their necks to make them so smooth? @russ Probably a polyurethane clear with a matt binder in it.

May be it could go on a GMUK national tour? @darrenking Yeah definitely but the first thing is to get people painting their guitars and flattening their paint otherwise they won’t have any paint to p...

@darrenking. Cheers Darren. Good luck with the road Tests. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

If making something thats going to fit into a hole, cut it with the line still visible (ie marginally over-size, potentially). If making something that’s going to be fitted into, cut it with the line ...

I had a quick play with it today and I think it’s about .35mm out each side @peebee - that sort of difference *might* be caused by whether you cut the neck, and the neck pocket, templates on the penc...

I usually get mine from here, especially the pinstripes for 9 piece necks. I bought a load from thewoodveneerhub.co.uk at the end of last year, for that same purpose. Actually managed to get it all c...

Thanks again, I will get some pics when I get some proper time in the Garage, I’ll be working in the garden this week I reckon.

Sound like @darrenking has it covered.. I usually get mine from here, especially the pinstripes for 9 piece necks.

@peebee Spot on with your last comment I think that's the way round for the future. I have a PRS custom 22 fret template that I have had to shim the neck sides with .35mm cuts. I cut a slice from the ...

@boo......I think that if the neck pocket template and the neck taper template are made from the same plan, which mine were, then it should be possible to move the neck pocket template slightly rearwa...

I had a quick play with it today and I think it’s about .35mm out each side. I had ago at veneers off the bandsaw and without trying too hard got a couple at .58mm. So should be able to glue something...

I wondered if also what you could do is get the template on position and then, as it's tapered, move it back say 5mm @peebee The trouble is with that is it changes the width of the nut.

How sloppy is the neck fit?

I wondered if also what you could do is get the template on position and then, as it's tapered, move it back say 5mm (That's just a guess at this stage) and then rout. I have tried tape on another tem...

I positioned and repositioned to make sure it was right.....but still the pocket is slightly too wide.......don’t know if I used a wrong reference line somewhere, haven’t been back in the garage since...

If anyone needs some pieces of maple/mahogany/walnut veneer off cut just email me and I’ll stick some in the post. @darrenking Next time you are sending something my way, if you could put me a few bi...
