Well, if you snooze, you lose! If you drink, you sink. 😆

On the straight Earle point I draw the line required (say the neck taper jig) and use something I know to be straight and use the router. I have scrap at the same width as the stock so that you can us...

Well, if you snooze, you lose! Snoozing had nothing to do with it @boo

@deej and I had a little challenge going, He went to the pub. I won. I think you’ll find @TV101 that I won 🥴....🤣

He went to the pub. I won. @tv101 Well, if you snooze, you lose! 🤣

Either that or I’m putting too much lateral pressure on the saw and pushing it off line. @tv101 Yeah I had to be careful with the aluminium clamp I used today for moving, especially as it was clamped...

Is it now just a circular saw on a track Mine is just that @boo. The problem I have with it is that the track tends to wander. It’s supposed to have non-slip material on the base, but it doesn’t se...

@forcesterbill Yeah I’ve looked at tracksaws before and always though they were a bit expensive. Is it now just a circular saw on a track or is that just me? Is the Titan one any good?

@boo see you have been busy today with the like button. Hahaha...... @deej and I had a little challenge going, He went to the pub. I won. 🤣

I've got a track saw - only the Titan one from Screwfix but it does cut a straight edge - can get 1.2m if I am careful......

I prefer a router with guide bearing @tv101 Yeah I’ve done that before too, the router is a good option. I see you have been busy today with the like button. Hahaha......

Thanks @frocesterbill @boo Half of your methods are similar to mine! But I should definitely make more use of the factory-made straight edges on the MDF sheets - that’s going to save half the job. ...

Is there a better way? @tv101 I just used one edge of an MDF board that was cut in the factory (it is straight), then mark up for the other edge. I then put on a long aluminium clamp as a guide to ru...

I use one edge of the sheet of MDF for one side and then a strip of sticky 80 grit on a flat piece of MDF and rub the other edge to get it straight and flat....

This is something that I've long struggled with. I've got a workaround/solution, but it never feels like a clever workaround/solution, so ... Q: How do people get a straight edge on their template...

I made a new neck taper template/pattern before routing the sides of the neck and heal. Attachment : IMG_20201011_151636.jpg Attachment : IMG_20201011_154351.jpg Attachment : IMG_202...

Looks like exotic ebony ....or that’s what Madinter alley mine I’ve used that look similar.. but what do I know... Very nice whatever it’s called.

Macassar ebony? @tv101 I’m not sure actually, I bought it off Mark a while ago, I’ll have to ask him. @markbailey Mark, what kind of Ebony is this, can you remember?

That is definitely a *very* nice piece of ebony @boo. I've got something like that on a fretboard on one of my guitars. Macassar ebony?
