Hey @nsj, I’ve watched the vid they do on Osmo. He uses an Osmo woodwax oil (I guess similar to finishing oil) before applying the Osmo polyx finish. Is that what you did too? I thought the polyx was all…   Read more»

Thanks @nsj I’ll check that out @russ I don’t have any more photos, but essentially I’m clamping directly on to my bench top. It was all a bit of an experiment and I had planned to cut some holes in…   Read more»

Nice work @nsj. Enjoyed watching your wee videos on this one.  I guess you might have to batten down the hatches for a couple of days now…..Babets on the way.  We’ve just got a strong breeze and heavy rain down…   Read more»

@nsj yeah, good suggestion! I’ve not done it on this neck, but I have another 1″ blank and a small selection of veneers. Could look pretty cool. Apologies in advance for the incoming interrogation! With the Osmo oil, does it…   Read more»

@nsj oh I need to show you fret 24. I did it with a dremel on a plunge base with edge guide against the end of the fretboard. Made a little mess but what the hell. It’s the first…   Read more»

@nsj as for a full on fretboard, uhm you mean the dots or artwork, like a dragon, roses, etc? something I had considered was starting with 2 pieces of abalone shell as fretboard marker inlay. I have some that are…   Read more»

@nsj  That gives it more of a wood burning look doesn’t it. Not very deep at all just darken the logo. Cool, cool, cool. That would be an easy way of differentiating between say model A-1 and model A-2, meaning…   Read more»

@nsj Yeah sure, I know about that. I’ll try some. 👍

@nsj See, I know that little about electronics and soldering, I didn’t know there was leaded and unleaded solder. Is the leaded stuff not dangerous to health? Is that not why they created unleaded?  Thanks for the advice by the…   Read more»

@nsj Very nice. I love your little helper too! 😺

@nsj Looks great! I’ve used resin a lot, especially blue and green, it always looks good against the contrasting wood colour.

@nsj Thank you! Is the heel adjustment with Floyd just because of the clamping nut thingy beeing in the way at the headstock?

@nsj
Under starters orders again Neil. Looking forward to this one. Is there a wee YouTube video? 
🙏🙂🎸🎶

@nsj
Cheers Neil. Maybe one day I’ll arrange to bring it up to show you when I’m up visiting my son. 👍 
🎸🙏🎶🙂
 

@nsj awesome thanks

@nsj duuuuuuude!!!!
I have been trying to think of a better way than my scroll saw to do that. 
What speed do you run it on when cutting the covers? Plastic I assume or are you making wooden covers?

@nsj I’m trying to determine the need before the neck is glued in AND before carving the top while the blank is still flat. Also before glueing a veneer on the top. I know if I do that I’ll have…   Read more»

@nsj so you’ve got a makeshift router table for small parts eh? Nice idea, I like it. 😁

@nsj 

I’ve got to ask, where did you find these weirdo pots?

These were amongst a job lot of harnesses from ebay, somebody clearing out their junk boxes. I’ve only got myself to blame.

 
So, that’s a “maybe” ??
 
The answer – of course – is just to ignore the tone pots.  Never use them … 😉
