@SomethingNicer is the extension as stable as the actual dremmel? Like in my other brand tool the extension where you insert the bits has a tiny bit of play whereas the actual chuck of the tool is sol...

@brie it smelled way worse! But thankfully it's all dried and sealed now. I don't know why you put wire wool on your chips though 🤣

@liebe walnut is nice, not to heavy, same with cherry. Made a full start entirely from cherry. Both lighter than limba or at least black limba, posibbly similar to the likes of brazillian mahogany. Yo...

As Harry Enfild once said, "You don't wanna do it like that" 🤣

So a friend asked about me building him an electic ukelele, I think you can tell by the pics I like super strats lol Sapele body and neck, ebony fretboard, yew and resin top. Went with a 17 inch sca...

I've used beech, ash, oak, cherry and walnut so far. All been really good. Only tricky one is oak because I did a carve top and it's very hard lol

@russ thanks bud, it's so much nicer, the whole fit and finish is vastly improved and now I could happily put it up for sale

@benjaminschwillens82gmail-com Cheers

@liebe the finish was kinda tacky, floyd sat fairly high above the recess and the recess rout wasn't very good. That one was my first carve top too I believe. I prefer to bring the recarve further out...

@liebe surfacing bit from radian tools, use it then give it a quick sand and it's ready to go. I use 80 grit on a hard piece of wood.

Meant to include a before pic of how the guitar used to look Attachment : 20230308_162921.jpg Full build can be found on my youtube channel too

Built this one a while agao, first carve top. Had a few things i wasm't happy with, floyd sat above the body, recess wasn't nicely lined up and the finish was kinda sticky. I thought lets improive it....

@brie Looks really nice bud, the neck wood looks a bit mahogany ish but not sure.

@koendb zero issues, I did 3 but when pulling the trem up it was pushing against the springs so I tried 2 and it works perfect.

One piece Brazillian mahogany body, one piece Brazillian mahogany neck. Yew and resin top, ebony board, stainless frets. Gotoh hardware and some kick ass warman pickups. Added a little touch to the ...

@boo be sure to insist on a 4 string because a 5 string is a pain in the hoop! 🤣

@liebe friend had really old massive slabs of it, sold me one. Also sawed it up for me with his massive machinery so I could get the maximum use.

Friends son asked me about building a nice, simple, 5 string bass, tele shaped with all the arm and belly carves and batman logo at the 12th etc. I somehow made my life difficult by suggesting stainin...

1 year per inch thick for drying is what I understand

I tried doing them seperately once but it was such a farce, so awkward. I'd mask off the neck to do the body seperate and vice versa if doing it again. Persoanlly though I just nice wood and finish th...
