Do you work in imperial measurements? I was reading something the other day about Gibson factory setting for string height. Being American, the dimensions are in imperial, which I haven't got a probl...

@cheesewhisk Any advice on the volute? As @TV101 says, watch how Mark does it, pay attention to where he carves the facets and where the bump should be relative to the nut, copy that and the volute ...

@boo I like @Rocknroller912 's idea of replacing one big chunk and re-routing all the cavities. Then seeing @darrenking 's idea of a CNC repair block and matching template, I like that better. Maybe D...

@jonhodgson Interesting using the nails to pin it, the technique I've seen is to drill a hole through the fret slot (I can't remember the size) and use a toothpick (with the end broken off, so it's b...

I don't think I found the nail hole on the 10th fret when I lowered the fretboard onto the neck. I think you've hit the nail on the head there @cheesewhisk, if the pins are located then it just can't...

@mattbeels But if I catch anyone talkin’ shit about my doilies and table runners there’s gonna be hell to pay! Is there a link to the "hell to pay" website, I should maybe subscribe.

@russ @deej The plan is for the strings to be straight up from the nut and parallel to each other. Time will tell, I want to lacquer the body before I press the bridge posts in, so it might be a whi...

Thats the tuner holes lined up at last, all the butchery is hidden under the washers. Also reshaped the headstock a little to make the holes an equal distance from the edge and to give the D tuner kno...

@koendb I could not get these tuners to line up properly Sounds like you need a CNC router. I had a similar problem lining up just three a side. I plugged and redrilled 4 of the holes, and two of t...

Nice, does it come with pre-programmed learning curves.

Looking good @clinton, what finish are you going to put on it?

@tej So this sounds like a great idea in theory as one thing I don't want to do is put a lot of effort to ultimately make something that's really silimar to something I already have. You can build t...

That rosette's a good job well done @steveadams. I'll have to do it sometime, how many times did you practice it.

Must be very satisfying@robinwhen a repair job works well. @russ It definitely is satisfying. After cursing myself for stupid errors or accidents, I quite enjoy the "fixing things" aspect of guitar...

And now on to the next fix. Two of the tuner holes are out of line, so plugged and try again. Attachment : 20210407_162210.jpg

@tv101Is there an echo? @boo that'll be an attempt to catch up with you on the leaderboard 🙂

@boo's little bit of glitter free rosewood arrived this morning. I didn't take any chances, went out to the shed and opened the envelope very carefully, but still got a fright. Attachment : 202104...

Take it easy Mark, all in your own good time.

You're a very inventive man @darrenking, you see a problem and then you solve it, good work.

@rockpile99 That's a good looking build, well done.
