@rib-f there's no doubt you'll make some errors along the way but yeh, it's a learning process. These days mistakes don't phase me in the slightest, I just assess the situation and come up with a plan...

@rib-f I angle the router and then lower it while moving, I find it pretty controllable. You can also use a forstner bit to hog some of the material out first which can make things easier. I just make...

Have you started the build yet? When thicknessing a neck blank I always leave an extra 1mm, so if aiming for 21mm at the 1st I'll take it down to 22mm. You can lose 1mm easily by the time you've radi...

@brie I've got the wood but been sorting out car stuff and now got lurgy but I'll be back at it soon. Cheers

@liebe not so much sacrilegious as just plain weird! 🤣

Latest build is a double f hole thinline tele, body is yew and resin with a sipo mahogany top, slightly flamed maple neck with ebony board. Loving the P90's from warman guitars   Attachment : ...

@liebe spalted is good, un spalted can be quite heavy but good for a semi hollow like a thinline tele or that

@drewbag Living for the challenge! Lol

With osmo I finish the neck first then oil, that's what I did on the copper tele with oak board. Worked great.

@drewbag Not magnets but I generally do about 5 or 6mm with wood covers. I just screw them down though which helps if they curve a bit. You could try gluing a veneer of wood to say 2mm aluminium. That...

Mahogany neck and body, ash top and headstock plate, ebont board, jumbo frets. Gotoh hardware and seymour dunscan JB4 SH2N pickup combo. It's one my favourites I've done so far.       ...

Looks great! I'm currently having my first go a faux binding, pain in the rear lol   I like to wipe down with thinned down polyurethane first, shows all the scratches I missed. Then I'll coat wit...

@brie Router sled and a laser, it was actually pretty easy. The lightburn software for the laser is brilliant too

@brie lasered them, had to drill where the resin is though because it's blue and my laser is a diode type, but I made templates when practicing with ash. Started with paper till it was spot on, then a...

Wanted to try something different, yew and resin for top, fretboard and headstock plate. Mahogany neck, limba body. CF rods added in the neck. Running the iron gear dirty torque blues engine set. I wa...

Hey up, I'm north east and gather in my shed with tools and wood lol

Can't you turn it over, make that side the top then all that will get carved out anyway? If not binding is about 6mm and it looks like you should hide most if not all of it, could also skim the bac...

Hi Andy, you can try whatever scale you like but just remember to read the trem routing cavity instructions properly to get the posts in the correct place. Also worth finding out if there's a sweet sp...

@andyorton2gmail-com It's a fine router, smooth etc. I mainly use it for the truss rod channel. I find the palm routers much easier to handle for everything else. Stick a bigger base on them to mak...

@brie Here's a couple, basically mounted like a regular 2 point trem, then I added a recess and then cut the back end away so there was no restriction. Nice brass block to finish off the look. A...
