Hi Steve Don't go too big with the router. Mine is a 30 year old 1/2" 1200 Watt, far too big, heavy and clumsy.

@Peebee Are you actually going to turn this into a guitar? Get it done, there's nothing wrong with an old bit of pine. The huge knot in mine is now a feature.

Body shape decided and 22 frets. Attachment : 20201216_193913.jpg

Attachment : 20201216_172501.jpg Here's the start of build #002, a big blank sheet of paper. Still trying to decide what body shape to go for.

- guessing there will be domestic strife when we are all watching the course for the third or fourth time when we should be doing Christmas! Shouldn't be a problem, isn't Christmas cancelled this yea...

Turns out my wife's curling tongs are just the job and cost me nothing - Be careful borrowing the wife's stuff. I was putting a couple of guitar hanging brackets on the wall the other day and being ...

@marcel I was born in the fifties....., yes I'm an old man. Me too, I'm a 1956 vintage.

Looking good Clinton What did you use for your headstock decals. And I had to google "tele lipstick", I had no idea.

My Epiphone humbuckers have got tight corners and didn't fit into the standard humbucker cavity. My smallest bit with a guide bearing is 12mm ( three bee's bollocks and a gnats whisker below 1/2"). I...

Always cock up before you ask for help, that helps to reinforce the lesson learnt.

@rocknroller912 Your acoustic looks like a jumbo style, what make is it. It's a Stagg SW203.

Here's mine then. Only one home build so far. The strat was bought a bit a time and assembled, I was surprised to find that the body is plywood. The Tanglewood Tomkat has been relegated to my second f...

@peebee Mrs ordered me a Bailey Electric Guitar kit last night too! Your Mrs must be a good one. My Mrs just recently found out that I have a Bailey's electric kit in my garage waiting to get starte...

@boo I’m not so sure, it sounds a bit like a shop that sells wool You're right, a totally misleading message. So, what images does "Knob and Nut" conjure up.

@rocknroller912 "Cut & Measure". Cut before measuring, another anarchist in our midst. @clinton My vote is for "The Scarf Joint"

Yeah, so long as there is no politics, I drives people apart these days as it’s been weaponised (enough, I’m telling myself off already). Can we ban football talk too. How about Finiter's Arms or ...

@peebee @peebee That's it now mate - one jig down, now you're hooked! There's no going back to your previous life anymore..... Be careful though, you might end up building stuff like this from junk....

@vertigo Robin, glad to hear that your feeling better, you must be stoked how the guitar has turned out, let us know how it sounds and does it sound as expected? Thanks Steve, thats six weeks since ...

@darrenking router cutters described as being ‘plunge cut’ really don’t like being used as drills ie a completely vertical plunge A good point there Darren, I didn't know that.

@steveadams I'll double check my pillar drill is not wandering and do another test with a very tightly clamped piece... I solved it by starting the hole with the brad point drill to get an accurate ...
