Routers are horrible things. Aren't you painting this one Boo, I'm sure you can fix that and hide it.

I'm feeling your pain there. It looks like you haven't actually carved as deep as the truss rod, so how about just filling in the hole.

Control cavity routed now and body shape cut, I'm impressed with how square the bandsaw can cut. I've wedged a temporary piece into the neck pocket to prevent me knocking lumps off when I route the bo...

The carve is looking good Peebee, I might just do the same myself.

Hi Peebee That looks great Robin, I like the offset inlays, very nice. Do you know why the neck pocket is tighter, did you do anything different? The inlays on my first build were small and central,...

That's the humbucker sockets and neck pocket routed now. I also made the mistake of taking the humbucker sockets to their full depth before doing the neck pocket. I routed very carefully where there w...

I think the wind chime method would be good for that one Boo.

I think the blank will have to remain as a practice piece as it is bowed and there are a couple, admittedly small, splits in it. Don't give up on it Peebee, I'm having fun with my bit of scrap. At...

Last week I mentioned that, due to our current lockdown in Scotland, I couldn't get access to a bandsaw. In normal times there's a couple of engineer workshops in town that offered me use of their ban...

Hi Boo If Scotland get independence, they will have to call it SST (Scottish Standard That's not so much if, it's when. When I'm at my caravan over on the west coast it's a different time zone agai...

Avoid big bottles because CA does go off once opened.... It is worth getting disposable applicator tips - makes getting CA into the right places easier and controlling how much you put into the right ...

15/01/2021 6:18 pm Cool - see you then remember it's GMT - Guitar Making Time or Grenwich Mean Time 🙂

Just realised that it's Wednesday and I'd missed the livestream, then found I hadn't missed it at all. Hopefully you're power is sorted now.

which kind of paper do you put in between when you are glueing both cap sides together? I use the inner bag from breakfast cereal boxes, the glue doesn't stick to it.

I did find that I needed to ration how much I did each day because you could do very long sessions and risk making a mess of it. I'm finding that helps me too, I'm just taking my time with my 2nd bui...

I bought a GraphTech Tusq nut from Northwest Guitars, it's about 43.5mm wide and 9.5mm high at the fat E string. Haven't fitted it yet but looks like it should do the job. I also bought fret wire from...

@rocknroller912 The weather has thawed today thank goodness. Our ice and snow thawed last night as well, the only bonus was that my lockup roof didn't leek when it was frozen, I really need to get ...

I've been putting fret wires in today, this has been the most awkward part of this build so far. The wire I bought wasn't pre bent, so I had to make roller. The roller I made wasn't great and as I had...

Hi Matt ahh, I was talking about a handheld jigsaw. I didn’t realize you were talking about a jigsaw... Sometimes I bit carried away making stupid things. 🙂

Hi Matt In my experience the jigsaw blade will angle away from the cut The blade doesn't wander sideways, I sorted that. Attachment : 20201214_130617.jpg I think the blade holder is worn. The...
