@mateyboy Top Job - looking good! Excited to see how the neck carve comes out...it is not as hard as you think...just take it step by step. ?

Thanks. I need to carve the bugger first! Yikes!!!

Well done! The joys of fretting next.....

This feels like a thread hijack! ? I glued the fretboard to the neck, I think that's making the neck part 1 finished. Just need to install the truss rod next!!! Joking! Attachment : Glued Fretboa...

I'm with you. It's always important to conduct a thorough top of the packet/bottom of the packet comparison test for QA purposes. I know this isn't for everyone but I find that cream centre biscuits s...

I am probably addicted to tea............. Biscuits are a problem - sometimes whole packets get 'sampled'.......

My only comment would be that I don't think Bill has made enough of an allowance for tea. All of that watching videos and double and treble checking sounds like very thirsty work to me! Ideally make a...

@frocesterbill Yeah, watching the videos a few times to ensure I make no mistakes does slow me down a bit, with practice you could probably make something within a couple of weeks I guess. Although I ...

As you say - no rush - just trying to get a feel for how much progress you could make in a day - I guess that by the time you have watched the video several times and checked, double checked and tripl...

That's not bad - think on a workshop course you would have glued on the fretboard by the end of the first day? I'm hoping to start this weekend.....

Profiled the neck, the truss rod is in and glue drying on the wooden strip. 🙂 Attachment : Neck Profile.JPG

You are doing Great! Thanks for sharing the pics - hope the exam went well!

Looking good!

Cut the neck on the bandsaw and glued some ears on this evening. Attachment : 837F26EF-4695-4FC2-A206-84D5726533DF.jpeg

@frocesterbill Haha, yeah I have one now, and it came in really useful! ?

But I have already got a hole in my router base!

Keep going - I’m probably a week behind you.......

I made a slow start today (don't want to rush the job and make a mess). I routed the truss rod channel and surface routed the neck angle. 🙂 Attachment : TrussRodRout.JPG Attachment : Truss C...
