@nsj Yeah sure, I know about that. I’ll try some. 👍

@boo it would take an awful lot of soldering to get any harm from the lead, not nearly big enough amounts. It's like a lot of things, 2k spray etc, the danger can come from using it all day everyday.

@nsj See, I know that little about electronics and soldering, I didn’t know there was leaded and unleaded solder. Is the leaded stuff not dangerous to health? Is that not why they created unleaded? T...

Got the trussrod slot routed, headstock angle done and fretboard glued and clamped. I like cutting the headstock angle wide of the line with the bandsaw then using a handplane to bring it into place. ...

@boo Heat the item, add the solder lol. And use leaded, that lead free stuff is naff, I can do everything with a simple 30 watt iron using leaded stuff.

@robin Well done! That is one more thing on my "never in my life" bucketlist...

@robin 👍😃

Well done Robin, really didn’t think you’d get it done last weekend, we had horrible weather on the Sunday, though I know it was much better in Edinburgh. Congratulations👍😃🎸

What a neat idea - I'd never have thought of doing that!!

Dear Mark, don't cut 26 fret slots on my bass fretboard, it just confuses me 🤣 Anyway, fretboard from Mark and Carol arrived so I can crack on with the bass. Also got the 9.5mm radian rou...

@tv101 Oh wow! That looks like a nightmare for me. Good job though, very neat work T, I’m impressed.

Practice @Boo, just practice! This took a bit of soldering, but it all works Attachment : 20230815_113750sml.jpg

Catching up with this a little after-the-event. Congrats Robin, and a small addition made. It will cover Norfolk, right?

Well done @robin. You did a "descent" job there. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

So it's defo gonna be a tele! Attachment : 20231010_170627.jpg

@boo mahogany body with yew top. I look for the really gnarly bits then saw them in half wirh my little old bandsaw. Attachment : 20230930_144133.jpg Attachment : 20231002_153534.jpg

Very nice indeed. What is the wood again? Looks stunning with the blue epoxy.

While waiting on something to show up for my bass build I got on with something else. A new guitar body blank, not sure what it'll be yet but I'm very pleased with how things are going. I'll get a pic...

@nsj Looks great! I’ve used resin a lot, especially blue and green, it always looks good against the contrasting wood colour.

Thank you for the warm welcome. So I've built and just taken the clamps off the case - at 43", it has enough capacity to take a larger guitar and act as a wood store in the interim of the build to kee...
