Great video Steve!! Looking good...

Good to see you back Steve - and good to see the build still progressing too. I'm pretty sure that squaring-the-joint is just a matter of sanding, slowly, carefully, and then it'll all come good. Look...

@steveadams That is looking terrific.

Posted by: @russ @steveadams. Hi Steve, Just tried to watch you video but it freezes and stops playing after a minute or so. Not sure if it's something wrong with the video or my Android phone It's...

fantastic @steveadams. It will all come together. Love the laughs. 🙂

OK..This is the last of the current crop of videos, bringing you up to speed... Hope you enjoy.. cheers Steve Attachment : PART 13 FIT NECK PT1.m4v

Insulating it shouldn't be too hard ... some 4x2 battens on the wall, fill the gaps between them with insulation material, stick some board (OSB is probably cheapest) over the top, and the job's done....

@wolframmalukker Will try to do a little shaping this weekend, maybe. Need to cut the truss rod slot first, I guess. Thats looking good. Mark always emphasises to do the trussrod slot before shapin...

First attempt at the neck shaping. Layed all the neck parts out and did some marking up. Neck, fretboard, nut blank, headstock veneer, and truss rod. And, I got a little excited and started cutting t...

Glued the scarf joint today. It may or may not come out good, I'll know tomorrow when I take the clamps off and start checking it. If it's good and tight, then the game is on to measure and see how mu...

Couldn't find good quality 4 pole bobbins and the 8$ 4 pole pickups for cigar box guitars do not fill me with confidence. I cut out the center two strings from a repro set of PAF bobbins, and glued t...

First fretboard tapered and fret slots cut. Gonna make truss rods this week, fret board is 11.5" and so I'm looking at an 8 3/4" truss rod.

Cut out the first two fretboards today. Seemingly silly mistake to taper them first but they fit into a slide in the fret miter box, to keep them square. The board stock was not wide enough to not cut...

Getting some work done. Plans are important to a quality finished product! Attachment : Body Neck Pickups.png

Fret saw got here today. It's a Zona brand, so nothing too flash but it's the right size for my fret wire. Ran into some issues with the neck design, but it'll be OK I'll just have to make the neck jo...

@wolframmalukker Very nice indeed, keep going. 👍

@wolframmalukker That Macassar Ebony is going to nice looking fretboards. You're so lucky having such a well equipped workshop and SolidWorks too. I used SolidWorks in a previous life and still had a...

Those are going to be nice looking fretboards @wolframmalukker!

Got my fretboard material in today, and set up the bandsaw for resawing down to the right thickness. It's Macassar Ebony, and it was very inexpensive for the board I bought. (MUCH less than any rosewo...
