@rocknroller912 I used one of my new ones yesterday, a much cleaner cut than my old ones.

Has anyone been using Trend Craft Pro router bits and are they any good. The cheap set of bits that I'd bought many years before I became a guitar builder have outlived their usefulness. Attachment...

@russ I don't cover my bandsaw, but as @Rocknroller912 says a plastic bag over it has got to help. I use mine more often than I ever imagined that I would, if I had it covered up I'd probably not use ...

@wayne_f A great build, great video and sounds good too, well done.

@russ I'm glad to report that my shed is still there this morning after last night's storm. Yesterday morning the shed was 4°C and 80% humidity, I take the wood that I'm currently working on indoors ...

@adam I have access to a planer as well but I'm worried it would rip out at the fret slots On my three builds so far I've used Mark's pre radius slotted tapered fretboards so can't offer any hands...

@seanf Thats a spacious looking workshop you've got there, and good storage space where things aren't going to get covered in dust. You may not have many tools yet, but once you've caught the bug you...

@wolframmalukker Thats not bad at all, I think I'd just fill that with glue and sawdust.

@wolframmalukker We all have our moments, you did the right thing packing up and going home. In my experience, once you've had a sleep, you'll wake up and know how to fix it.

You're very inventive @boo and getting some great effects there.

@tyreman Welcome to the group Ben, with your woodworking experience I think you'll be able to teach us a thing or two. What part of the world are you in.

@rocknroller912 Sorry to see that you're out of commission. To keep you occupied, I'll see if Joe gives me his mandolin to repair, you could do remotely by advising me.

@rathius What a great positive introduction story, I can totally agree with the relaxing bit. I wouldn't have started this either without a pandemic lockdown or without the help and inspiration from @...

@rocknroller912 Get your Jimmy hat ordered before stocks run out.

@boo Sounds good to me. I think I’m going to love living in Scotland And just as a bonus, we've got a football team again.

@rocknroller912 @mattbeels Looks like we’ve got some competition I'm not planning on making a habit of it. But Joe did mention a mandolin that he thinks is beyond repair, sounds like a challenge to...

@rocknroller912 If the plates are 1.5mm thick then I would put some protection on the soundboard, like thick plastic and lever them off with a chisel. Old adhesive shouldn’t be that strong to resist...

. The truss rod somehow slipped about a half-inch toward the headstock. Obviously now it's going to be sticking out past the nut. It seems to be pretty solid in it's place but could it be (carefully) ...

Hi @rathius That's looking good, I like what you're doing there matching the headstock to the body. Just as an example of what @boo is saying, the headstock on my second build is a lot less radical th...
