Brilliant idea, and great execution @rocknroller912. That looks like the solution to me! @markbailey - remember where you saw it first 😉

@tv101 @deej Tried out my idea of burning the ring into the wood and it worked not too bad, better in ebony than rosewood. I should have cleaned the burr on the brass tube from cutting before gluing t...

Are the rings CNCed - the grain looks continuous......

@tv1 @deej After Sat’s session, I’ve been trying to think of ways of just cutting a ring into the board ... One way of making a ring without a centre guide might be to heat the metal tube and burn t...

After Sat’s session, I’ve been trying to think of ways of just cutting a ring into the board ... @tv101 I know what you are striving for, it would be good but like a mark said, I fear the cutter woul...

@deej do you reckon the rings alone were cut into the fretboard, or are the markers made up of rings *and* dots? After Sat’s session, I’ve been trying to think of ways of just cutting a ring into the ...

ebony with brass and ebony. Looks stunning @deej That really does look good, I like it.

here is my schecter Nick Johnstone guitar... ebony with brass and ebony. Looks stunning

Thank yet again Mark&Carol. Nice Touch. Cheers, Russ 🎸🎶🙂🙏

More progress on *the* guitar??

Slowly but surely things are coming together...

@tv101 "learning opportunity"! The common factor in my learning opportunities is the router. I need to spend some time learning to tame it, the fine adjustment seems to have a mind of it own.

@boo just accept that they happen. I haven't done anything that I haven't been able to overcome (yet), and I don't get myself worked up about it. I'm quite happy to document these little mishaps, it...

I seem to be doing it more than anyone else, I bet you're really not @robin - I don't think I've had a single build on which I've not encountered a "learning opportunity"!!

@robin I have made a lot of mistakes and I’ve learned to just accept that they happen. I think it’s only because some of us have built a few guitars that we avoid the mistakes that we have done before...

@eddie6string I think I will stick with my router after hearing your story. Well done with the repair though and I like the veneer too. Thanks for flagging this up.

@eddie6string I had to splice a piece of Maple in matching the run/direction of grain, then cover with veneer. Isn't it fun finding a way to fix these little mishaps. I seem to be doing it more than...

That looks like a pretty impressive save @eddie6string - and a nice piece of veneer too. 👍 I've got a Safe-T-Planer too, but I've never really got the hang of using it, so it's sat (still in...

Just so you know, I really tried stalling for your lawn mowing. Thanks @clinton - support appreciated 😉 However, it did stop raining (it was only light rain) and the ground was dry enough that I r...
