This is headstock style I'm using in my next build, the strings don't get much straighter than that. That is definitely pretty straight!! Very functional too - the headstock is as big as it needs ...

@robin Cheers Robin. I might give it a go. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@boo Are you going to seal them in with some clear coat? Yes I'll be spraying the face of the headstock and the truss rod cover with a clear coat. Hopefully that should make the surround of the tra...

@russ Did you make the transfers yourself I bought the waterslide paper and used Windows Paint to draw the logos, then printed on an inkjet printer. You have to spray them with a clear coat before y...

this is the headstock design that I generally use. @tv101 Nice headstocks Tony, nice and simple, and elegant. 👍

@robin Yeah good idea Robin, I’m designing my own too. Are you going to seal them in with some clear coat?

@tv101 My next build that I'm drawing up now has narrower tapered headstock, based on a Tanglewood Tomkat that I have. It's similar to the Bailey headstock too, and like you say, not so much space the...

Good to see the veneer getting used to such good effect! Agree - plenty of room for logos on your headstock - I use a more “compact” design on mine which doesn’t have much spare room. Must have a pho...

@tv101 Truss Rod cover logo looks neat The truss rod cover has a bit of your veneer on it, left over from the same piece that I used for the headstock. The gibson style headstock has plenty space fo...

I do sometimes look at my headstocks and think that there’s something missing. But there’s not a lot of room for a traditional logo. Truss Rod cover logo looks neat 👍

I've been playing around with inkjet watersllde transfers the last few days, the instructions are a poor translation from Chinese, so they're open to a bit of interpretation. Apparently once applied, ...

Normally a way around it Robin 😁

I had a big engineers vice on my garage workbench, it was far too high for planing wood and took up too much space. I bought a old used clamp on vice for £20. It didn't fit, the clamp opened to 60mm,...

Hi Boo, glad you got your vice, keep your eyes out as Axminster tools are having a deal every day leading up to Xmas right now. Also check out Yandles woodworking site, they often have massive reducti...

It fits well in my indoor workshop. 😁 Attachment : BDF736A2-20EB-4673-AC9C-4F6015EDBED6.jpeg Attachment : 7B68CB0A-3CA5-41E5-8712-AF185835EAE1.jpeg Attachment : E1EA297A-6537...
