Got the frets in yesterday and today I got on with side markers, carving the neck, volute and heel a bit and also got the neck pocket routed. I was thinking of adding a tiny angle to the heel so I cou...

Welcome Chris from about 70 miles further North.

Ok I'm at a bit at a standstill while this stuff cures. Fret markers are the aluminium tubing again but filled with the epoxy, can't wait til it's cure and I can sand everything flush. Attachment :...

Happy birthday wide screen! 🤣

Got a couple of bits done today, body sort of shaped, fretboard slotted, neck blank sorted and trussrod fitted. It's a spoke wheel trussrod though so I need to sort out the heel end for access. A...
