Hi @peebee,
Great. Just email me at darren.king@bagpress.com and I’ll sort it out for you.
Cheers

I had a quick play with it today and I think it’s about .35mm out each side @peebee – that sort of difference *might* be caused by whether you cut the neck, and the neck pocket, templates on the pencil…   Read more»

@peebee Spot on with your last comment I think that’s the way round for the future. I have a PRS custom 22 fret template that I have had to shim the neck sides with .35mm cuts. I cut a slice…   Read more»

I wondered if also what you could do is get the template on position and then, as it’s tapered, move it back say 5mm

@peebee The trouble is with that is it changes the width of the nut. 

I positioned and repositioned to make sure it was right…..but still the pocket is slightly too wide…….don’t know if I used a wrong reference line somewhere, haven’t been back in the garage since to check yet. @peebee I’ve done this…   Read more»

@peebee It happens. I tend to put a layer or 2 of masking tape around the edges if the neck pocket template where the router bit bearing will ride. It makes for a super tight neck pocket. Sometimes too tight…   Read more»

@peebee Glue some veneer to each side of your neck. When the glue has dried, use some 80 grit sandpaper on a hard, flat block to sand them down until the neck fits tight in the pocket. Make sure you…   Read more»

@peebee If I make a mistake like that it try and fit a solid piece of wood into the pocket instead of a veneer, because glued on veneers don’t route or carve very easily. It’s liable to tear because there…   Read more»

Got the control cavity cover routed and fitted. Just before I made the neck pocket too wide!

@peebee It’s a common mistake, I’ve done it a lot. 

I need to get some veneers to fix my loose neck pocket fec up. Where do people get their veneers from please? @peebee Talk to @darrenking he may have some he could send you if you ask him nicely. 👍

@Peebee I need to get some veneers to fix my loose neck pocket fec up. Where do people get their veneers from please? Try taking a shaving off a bit of your body offcuts with a plane, adjust the depth…   Read more»

TBH @peebee, unless you’re planning on repeating the fec up on future builds and therefore needing lots of veneer, you can find small offcut pieces on eBay, or I can just put some bits & pieces in the post to…   Read more»

Sorry to hear that @peebee! Why not try making some yourself with the bandsaw? If it doesn’t work out it’ll at least be good practice…

Excellent work @peebee, glad that you’re back at it!

My first proper carve, fretting and fitting of inlays / side dots. On the whole it went well, no major issues, all due to Marks excellent course! @peebee Looking good there, it’s good to see you enjoying it all. 👍

@peebee You are getting close to home stretch. Your neck looks great! Dont worry about the minor routing mishap on the trussrod channel. I find that attaching a hose on a router to be cumbersome and now I just simply…   Read more»

Very neat @peebee. You wouldn’t know that was your first attempt. Smooth. 👍😁

That looks pretty darn good to me @peebee!

Cool channel @peebee I’m gonna get stuck into that, lot of watching time needed.
