@nsj Just caught up on your latest YouTube film Neil. Another entertaining watch. Hope the back is on the mend. Can I ask if you had to pay for import tax and higher delivery cost from G&W. I haven’t got…   Read more»

Maybe sandpaper on a brush handle

Thats exactly how to do it. You just need different diameter brush handles to match the radius of the your many gouges.

 
ok, ok, I’m going to ask …
 
Why do you need 38 planes??

Very nice @nsj

@nsj  That burl guitar looks amazing. @tv101hindsight is fantastic though isn’t it? So useful! NOT! Lol I once told an old managing director that my ambition was to develop my foresight to be as good as his hindsight. It didn’t…   Read more»

@nsj I had 2 planes (No4 and a 9 1/2 type of block plane ) for the last 2 years, now I suddenly have 38 😬 😎

Very nice Neil. Did you draw it out by hand. Very neat lines and curves. I’m trying to do some designs but I’m using compasses and french curves. My freehand drawing skills are not the best.

@nsj I’m now thinking about a possible steel barrel or such that I can suck the air out of and stick on a bed of hot embers, put something inside to support the maple. I think it’s generally done under…   Read more»

Have a wee break from making guitars and make some jigs, its just as much fun.

Nice work @nsj! I like it

@nsj
🤣😂. It certainly will Neil.

@nsj The segment I’m talking about is part of another video or class. I remember it as an alternative way for installing the neck and it kinda makes it look like a neck-thru. Oh well, I’ll keep looking. @tv1 isn’t…   Read more»

You’re in Scotland @boo??
Well, you kept that quiet
🤣 🤣 🤣 
 

I like the curves on that design @nsj – I can’t do anything quite like that on this build, but I had something similar in mind.
Also really like the fact that you use proper cavity covers on your builds!!

Spot on @NSJ. I used a standard Tele plan as the core for the CNC design, and the standard plan assumed a standard 4…   Read more»

Ok operation new neck is under way, the decision has been made.

Look on the bright side, you get to do one of the fun parts again. I think carving the neck is my favourite part of guitar making.
