@robin we will know tomorrow. I’ll be planing the truss rod filler in a while then glue the fretboard on, after I radius it with my 14” radius bit. First thing on the agenda tomorrow will be to either...

So remember this big scary radius bit? Attachment : IMG_0119.jpeg Well I finally figured out how I could use it and radius my necks instead of carving it. Attachment : IMG_0121.jpeg ...

And today it neck carvy day. Just bought a laser engraver too so I can start adding a logo! Ooft lol Attachment : SquarePic_20230623_17560993.jpg

Hi Arif, Welcome to the forum, you’re sure to find answers to your questions here and Mark’s courses are great. So you live in Dubai, don’t think I would recognise the place these days, must be over 2...

@robin but it is straight lines and defined curves, then it's just glue all the bits in lol

@arifpatelpduk Welcome Arif. Enjoy your guitar making journey. Sign up for Mark's online courses. It's the best way to get started. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@robin you can get retangles of abalone and stuff off ebay, that's what I did with a view to chopping them up to make an inlay. Mind you, i fancy doing a scaley dragon or something down a fretboard...

@russ my life is one big faff lol

@rathius I know it sucks but you're learning, I learnt mostly from making mistakes but now I feel so confident, know exaclty what I'm doing and don't get so stressed. Carving the edge of the fretboar...

Turns out our shop had some faulty colletes! I'm pretty sure these gouges will expose themselves so I'm going to try a little resin and make it a feature! More to come

@kalimar I like routing the trussrod channel while the blank is still squared, I use a fence on my router to follow the edge of the blank. Then for the actual neck I make the fretboard and once it'...

Nice work @nsj. Enjoying watching you "faffing about on YouTube" with this one. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

@bpower Cheers. The secret is a dark ebony board, sawdust and superglue disappears!

@nsj that looks fantastic. A fancy inlay is something I'm still trying to build up the courage to do. 🙂

Ok so I got new binding, going with an ivory as I think it'll look great with the black limba. I'll choose some other pickups. Did my first ever 12th fret inlay, bought a jewellers saw and some fancy ...

The first one I ended up carving the fretboard edges and then found I’d made bigger errors before I had gotten to that point. Evidently I went all stupid when glueing that fretboard on. 🤦...

@rathius This time you will make it! Maybe a simple checklist with the right sequence plus all dimensions and cautions noted would help? I find it very easy to miss a step or forget which measures are...
