@tv101 Ridiculously, I'd never thought of making veneers with the router I had thought of it, but you talked me out of it. The postman came empty handed today, he'll be back again on Monday.

@boo @robin These videos are great. Thats spooky, I watched that last night.

@markbailey I'm not nearly ready for finishing yet, but I'm trying to think ahead. I saw some cheap lacquer in Aldi's a couple of weeks ago so I bought their last three tins to give it a try. It say...

@markbailey @tv101 Deja vu...I was going to cover this today also! Spooky Spooky indeed With a bridge like that, I’d make sure that the slope of the saddle is towards the tailpiece Looking at m...

@markbailey @robin For next time I'll show you TODAY at 1pm how to make a veneer if you don't have a Sander Thicknesser... Excellent, I'll be here watching.

@tv101 Postie should deliver a little package tomorrow. Hope it helps. Thanks TV, much appreciated. I had the router out again today, managed to put a radius on the front edge of the body without ...

@markbailey I'm needing a bit of advice on bridge position. Attachment : 20201016_125210.jpg Iv'e marked a line at the 25" scale length. Where do I fit this type of bridge relative to the 25" ...

I'm home from the caravan now, summer is over. Iv'e got my lock up garage to work in now and no mains electricity in there. So now iv'e got LED lights around my workbench, powered from a 12v battery a...

@boo I think so long as the neck gets glued in well, it should stay there, I can’t see how it would move. That's what I'm thinking too. In my mind the string tension is trying to pull the neck up o...

@seth @robin yes please post a picture! Here are some photos of my neck pocket and cutaway showing how iv'e tried to blend in the step where I'd cut too far. I'd also taken a lump out of the outer...

My first proper gig First concert I went to must have been about 1971. Slade came to play in the park in Falkirk. I was far more impressed with the up and coming local opening band, that was Nazaret...

Hi Seth The question is should I leave it or cut it off? I'm maybe not the best person to answering you. My first build is also based on a les paul style. I had the opposite problem, I overdid the b...

@deej I need to retire. I can recommend retirement, I wish I'd done it sooner.

@tv101 I've got various bits of veneer here. I'd happily put a headstock-sized piece in the post for you. Light, or dark? That would be fantastic, a peice of dark please, it's a mahogany neck. I w...

I haven't got the equipment to make a veneer to cover the mess on my headstock, but I guess that I could glue on a thicker piece then surface route it down to veneer thickness.

You are amazing, you've read my mind. I need to do a headstock veneer to cover another of my routing mishaps. Attachment : 20201014_095906.jpg

@clinton Thanks for the videos, they're fantastic. Wooden screw threads are beyond me but I'm sure I could do something with nuts and bolts.

After a bit of a delay waiting for my hide hammer, a trip home for my wife's flu jag and then a loss of phone signal/internet, I'm back. Attachment : 20201009_121530.jpg Iv'e adapted my headsto...

@tv101 After Sat’s session, I’ve been trying to think of ways of just cutting a ring into the board ... How about using a circular cutter, cut a circle in a piece of plywood of a similar depth of th...

@clinton Well, I also made some kerfing planes in different width kerf sizes. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 inch You're a very resourceful guy, I'm going to have to add a frame saw and kerf plane to my future proje...
