Today was cavity cover, arm and belly carves and drilled all the holes Attachment : 1000028914-01.jpeg Attachment : 20231130_161251.jpg Attachment : 20231130_171313.jpg

@robin he got the idea from Charvel. Doing the angled area was fine, making the plate fit was fine, making actual socket fit with a lead plugged in was less fine! Lol

Litle update, got the pickup cavities done and the control panel. Recessed for the nobs because it'll have a couple of push push pots and they need room to go down to pop up, this means I can have the...

Glad to see you are doing an acoustic Robin, it’s looking good so far.

@darrenking Thanks for the link Darren. Good to hear from you again. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

Wealden Tool Co. cutters are significantly cheaper than Trend and, IMHO, are of a higher quality. I use them with manual routing and their solid TC spirals are the standard on my CNC router.>

I couldn't agree more @nsj. They're the best I've come across. 🎶🎸🙂🙏

Yeah, it's the wee intro to your YouTube videos that I was enjoying. Great wee riff that you've created there. 👍 🎸🙏🎶🙂

Very neat practice run @robin. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

@russ Intro is me and the track with the bass update is me, sure I said in the bass vid lol. I just use a drum loop but all the guitar stuff is me.

@nsj Hi Neil, Where is the guitar riff taken from on your wee YouTube videos? 🙏🙂🎸🎶

A bit of bishing bashing and boshing today, got the bridge sorted, alignment is spont on too which is always a relief. Of course I got the laser out and done the logo. Attachment : VideoCapture_...

@nsj cheers bud. This has all been really helpful. Every build I learn a little bit more as something throws my initial plan out the window!

@liebe the problem with plunge is you can go to deep and start hitting the wood with the collet. For bits you can go with trend for reasonable but if spending a bit more I've got to say radian, they'r...

@swepri superb, thanks bud!

@liebe As @nsj said, longer shafts on the router bits is useful. I use these:

@nsj thanks for this. I'm my stupidity I hadn't considered bits beyond the 1/4 & 1"bits I have.🤷 The issue with the 35mm plunge is that I have a gap between how deep I can get the hole wit...

@liebe Longer router bits, I do mine with a palm router including floyd rose routs etc. Most routers don't have a huge plunge but you use a bunch of different length bits then just swap them as you go...

@brie thanks Brian, that is useful. Thank you!
