Top of fretboard to bottom of string about 3-4mm. The drawing is easy to change - cut wood not quite as easy.....

Thanks chaps. Really need to review the drawing video again to work this out. The way the originals are made, there's no break angle at all, and they seem to work fine with a simple floating bridge. W...

Because I needed a different neck break angle from my Bandsman I built a new jig to do neck and body break angle - I had bought some Firebird drawings and then drew out the side view onto tracing pape...

Also, having never done a through neck before, I really need to draw a section through this and hope the height of the fretboard gives me enough height at the bridge. It won't - you will need to rout...

Right, so I need to refine my drawing a bit to suit the parts I've scrounged up. I've got a fretboard, a cut-off tele bridge and a 42mm nut, so I'm diverging a bit to suit my parts bin. I'd drawn up a...

Still can't attach files, however to whet everyone's appetite, I'm planning on building a copy of a Harmony H44, which is a tiny short scale department store guitar from way back in umpteen-oh-eight. ...

@markbaileySo weird, literally watching you attach a neck on one side, and you talking on another! It's so strange, because I'd looked at Bailey guitars a while back, when looking for my next acoustic...

Glad to have ya here - hope you enjoy the site! Let us know if you get stuck or have any Q's!

Hello everyone! Found the youtube page and 8hrs of watching later I'm hooked! Would love to do a workshop course, but would want my bud there and there's no way I can afford both of us haha.So next be...

Hi Darren, thank you for you offer but I won't take you up on it right now. I used pva because that is what I have and I always use nowadays for wood projects and have never had a problem before. Many...

Hi Norman, I haven't seen PVA stain walnut before but it is an indication that, whilst most PVAs are white (unless they are dyed yellow ie Titebond) and smell pretty much the same, they can have signi...

Yes, I watched the livestream. Very informative, thanks,

@norman Yes PVA can stain the wood...I'm not sure why this happens. We use a different glue for laminations...I will check the details and add it here tomorrow...meanwhile did you see the livestream t...

Hi Mark, thank you for your reply. I quite like your idea of no bindings but I have two problems. My daughter, who may well end up with this guitar as I can't play, asked about the bindings as she obv...

Hi Norman - welcome! Sounds like you are on the right track - I always route the channel with the proper binding cutter as I am rather spoiled and fussy - I cannot really recommend another way as to m...
