You could almost be fooled into thing this Is going to be a guitar. I’ve got a small design flaw on my part, the lower horn, despite taking more of the thickness out is still in the way at the last fe...

Nice @rocknroller912!

@rocknroller912 could you use some tool wax on it, presuming the result would be sanded it should cause issues?

So after putting some straight edges either side of the fretboard with the neck in the socket it’s a few mm off centre at the bridge, plan today is to temporarily put the nut on and run threads for th...

More routing and rounding, also have the holes for the wiring, socket and strap pins done (no pic of that bit!) Onto carving next, happy days. 🙂 Attachment : 7CB47523-BFA6-4DF5-9B80-B0E300...

The neck is roughed out. Now on to the body. 🙂 Attachment : 20210621_202849.jpg Attachment : 20210622_194350.jpg Attachment : 20210622_204740.jpg Attachment : 20210622_203924....

Attachment : parts 1.jpg Attachment : parts 2.jpg To some this just looks like a pile of wood... to us this is a new born guitar in raw form. Now that I think I have all the pieces I need, ...

@rocknroller912 Absolutely, I think a lot of what I’ve done will be used again though 🙂 At least it will if I have my way 😬 The effort for most jobs done well goes into the preparation...

@rocknroller912 I like that idea too, it does however presume I’ve got the sides even 🤔😉 I’ve got to remake the neck pocket template anyway after so will make it long this time, I thin...

If you're okay with it @rocknroller912 then chunky is good. I like it chunky. The problem is that chunky means something different to everyone. I suppose, the best way to find out is to let several ...

@rocknroller912 exactly the same as the one I’ve made but the back of the template would go to just before the edge of the body past the bridge. If I align the centre lines on the pattern and body at ...

@ndakota I quite like the white colour of the pine, the other side is brown though. Attachment : 20201113_165902.jpg

@ndakota This is the finish that I got on pine with Danish Oil, I think it was three coats. As for disposal of the oiled cloths, I layed mine out on a concrete slab to dry, once they're dry you can bi...

Great work @tej! In my experience when scraping the fretboard you‘ve got to do it all for it to look the same. Sucks but…

Attachment : IMG_20210617_141820089.jpg Just received my copy today.. it is SO expensive now, especially since brexit

For anybody who's wondering whether to order this I'm going to say that not only does it contain a lot of useful information, but even if you never actually read it yourself it will make an excellent ...

@rocknroller912 all down to personal preference I guess, personally love a neck to be super thin but know people who love and hate either extreme.
