@robin Hey Robin, did you write your logo by hand or use a decal? Very neat.

@robin
You are correct.
Cutting a hole like a control cavity or for a pickup would be done clockwise. Profiling and rounding over a body would be done counter clockwise. -

Oh wow @robin that’s a real life saver tip, I wouldn’t have thought about that.
Great idea @frocesterbill, I think I’ll borrow that one. -

@robin I didn’t have plastic like real guitars have, but I did have wood. I was just being a typical cheapskate Scotsman. I don’t think using wooden covers is being cheap, quite the contrary. I think using plastic is cheap,… Read more»

I hope you enjoyed your haggis, neeps and tatties.
@robin Yeah I did enjoy them, I really love it. I’ve got another haggis in the fridge for next week. 🏴

I’ll need to find Mark’s carving video for a reminder on how to do that. @robin That’s a great fix with the neck pocket. I did the same thing, I routed the neck pocket before cutting out the body. I… Read more»

Routers are horrible things. Aren’t you painting this one Boo, I’m sure you can fix that and hide it. @robin Yeah I’m painting it so I can easily do a repair and it will never be seen. I know… Read more»

Yes go for it @Robin, I watched Marks live stream carving again, its fairly straight forward and looks great.
I will be back at it today! -

Good job on that neck joint! -

*Power Devil* I’m 99% sure that’s the make of my original router. Bought in the 1980s sometime (from B&Q!) and still going strong. If that bandsaw is half as good, then you @Robin have got a handy tool, and… Read more»

That’s not so much if, it’s when. When I’m at my caravan over on the west coast it’s a different time zone again, everything is in Argyll time, nothing happens quickly. That’s not a bad thing though, very relaxing. @robin… Read more»

Another top tip, mask off your nice light coloured maple neck while handling razor sharp snipped fretwires with frozen fingers, it keeps the blood stains off. @robin My workshop isn’t heated either so at this very cold time of year,… Read more»
