@robin Hey, thank you :D. Yeah thats the thing. I gave it some thought and I feel like the best thing to do is to get a fretboard replacement. Do you know where I could buy a blank from? Im…   Read more»

Hi @Robin – that is (a) most kind and (b) would probably save me weeks of trying to understand 3D modelling!   Apparently, the application I use to generate the toolpaths (and do the design work, though I’ve really only…   Read more»

@robin I put mine in for crunchy stuff and take them out for chocolate, ice cream etc 🤣

@robin That’s pretty good service, I’m glad you got it sorted out that quickly.  Can’t get in at Tarbert, Lochgilphead is the nearest practice we can get treated at right now. The whole dental service is still catching up after…   Read more»

@robin should’ve got him to take them all out! I had endless grief from mine since I was 5 or so lol

@robin  Dental abscesses are terrible, I don’t know how you even made it into your workshop. I’ve got an appointment in Lochgilphead next month, think I might need root canal work, again.

Great piece of ingenuity there @robin. What did you use for the metal struts? 

The metal struts are from cheap Aldi ratchet clamps that broke, I seldom throw anything in the bin.

A great start @robin. What wood will you use for the sound board and sides?

@robin I don’t think I seen Mark do an arm bevel. I do remember him talking about it briefly that’s it. When I was looking I watched a few videos but I liked the way driftwood guitars did theirs the…   Read more»

@robin very cool. Looks like a nice back. Are you going to be putting the arm bevel in?

@robin definitely buddy, I don’t freak out as much now, just think of a possible solution and get on with it

Thanks @robin @swepri @boo Agree – I need to find a better matched piece of wood.  I used up some “spare” bits making this one, working out how to get the shape out of the spare piece of wood rather…   Read more»

Phew! @robin. 🫡

@robin Loads more adjustment too, I always fit new strings on a new build. At least it helps rule the problem out if there is a problem.

@robin Excellent, I’m pleased it easily worked out for you without having to do anything drastic. 
@nsj came through for you. Good call. 👍

  @brie, sometimes it can be enough just to sink the top of the bridge posts into the body.  Most posts have a…   Read more»

@robin Just another thought…
It could be worth checking the A string nut slot to make sure the string leaves crisp right at the end of the slot.

@robin I’ve often pondered the question of sinking a bridge into the body as an alternative to achieving an accurate neck back angle to give a nice low string action. Seems viable to me but , as I’m just starting…   Read more»
