Wish I could be there myself. My arms aren’t up to the flight anymore though. 😂

Well after a few months I’m back to work building my second design. I had several other kit/parts builds I had started and I finished several while I’ve left my design alone. Here it is thus far thoug...

Here’s me carving the neck. Had to take a break before I finished. 😂 And here’s a picture of the fretboard with abalone inlay dots and ready for some clear. But should I shoot satin or gloss...

Watch the class on making a bolt on neck and you’ll hear mark say maple fretboards should be finished before fretting. In the course on building an electric guitar the steps in Make the neck Part 2 Ca...

That’s what I was thinking would be best. Thanks for confirming that for me.

When using a maple fretboard I know it should have clear shot on it but when is the best time to do so? I know Mark says somewhere to do it before fretting. Would it then be best before or after insta...

@nsj The segment I’m talking about is part of another video or class. I remember it as an alternative way for installing the neck and it kinda makes it look like a neck-thru. Oh well, I’ll keep lookin...

I remember seeing one of Mark’s videos where he talked about carving the heel of the neck and the body where they both meet so that the neck just blends into the body. Can someone point me to that vid...

@tv101 that’s what I plan to do sometime or other. It would definitely make it quicker and easier.

DUST MASK!!!!!!! WEAR YOUR $?/@#¥€ DUST MASK!!! UGH! Sometimes you just have to learn the hard way. Felt like I was gonna die. So 2 weeks ago I just got plum stupid. First I took my new control cavity...

So you could use a recessed jack then claim the notch is because you use a 90 degree cable that connects to your wireless rig attached to your strap. Art is art, you decide what something is and why i...

Attachment : image.jpg I know right! Actually kinda scares me it’s so big. I have a 4 wing surfacing bit that’s almost as big around as this one. Yes, it’s a 1/2” bit too. It came with a spacer ...

@koendb I was thinking of using it to do the majority of the carving on the back of the neck with it but still leaving a bit of wood for final filing, shaping, and sanding. Just trying to make things ...

Yes it did. I’m very pleased with the results. Definitely a smart purchase. Now to collect a few. 😂

When I attempt to come up with one right now I can’t because as soon as one name pops in my head a little voice says, “hold on, what about _________”?” 🤦🏼‍♂️ There...

This shape was inspired by the shape of the pickguard from a 355. Normally I don’t care for pickguards but when I put 2 together…, well this is what I ended up with. 🤣 Speaking of inspiration,...
