@russ I've got a grany tooth plane, just need the blades lol

Hi @koendb Get yourself a handheld circle cutter and a grannies tooth plane. Great fun but 100 times slower than your Dremel. 🤣 Attachment : Screenshot_20230115-130719.png Attachmen...

@russ Don't get me wrong, I do use power tools too, I just think it is great to develop the skills to not be dependent on them to finish a task. Also, it is nice to be able to do some work in silence,...

@russ Yeah, I shelved it but decided to go with it. The neck join is not perfect. There is a very small gap about a mil. Shimmed it but still visible. Archtops with neck break angles on the body is qu...

@clinton I love your work and methods! Did you ever try to use that frame saw to cut a scarf joint? I am thinking about buying one, but its so big, that I need to justify its usability 🙂 I guess havin...
