This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... Epic.....if you can spare the time. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Ive made a very rough sketch of how I would estimate the finished taper in wood. @rocknroller912 Thanks for that, makes perfect sense 🙂

Posted by: @robin I hadn't thought about the screw holes being out of alignment, we so lucky to have helpful people in this group. @robin I’d have considered that, admittedly just after I’d put the ...

Have a look at these @tej There is some info on there too about neck shimming. 👍

@boo thanks, I’ll have a look through those, I’ll not be buying from there though, way over priced. I feel I could make similar myself which will possibly only remain true until I try 😬

@tej I was going to suggest removing some wood from the back of the heel to get the angle that you want, but I see you've considered that already. It would drop the neck deeper into the pocket though...

@rocknroller912 lots to think about there, it’s just the angle that needs raising so adding depth to the front edge of the heel. (Or arguably reducing the back) There’s no issue with a gap the fret bo...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Interesting point you made about paint being too wet and causing problems. Could this happened with a spray can if it’s not been shaken enough and the solvent/paint mix is ...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I don’t feel so bad now I know that even professional painters get crazy paving sometimes. It happened to me during the summer when I was giving my lathe a re spray. Had to...

Very interesting. I'm not a painter but want to eventually do this sort of thing. I didn't even know this could happen. It is unfortunate but very helpful for someone like me to see and to see the pr...

Nice @Russ! Must be a nice feeling to own a proper place to build guitars..Are you going to make cabinets and drawers and such in there too? I am also setting up my workshop at the moment. But is n...

@rocknroller912 I don't have any fixed power in the shed. I have to run a cable from the house......maybe one day I'll put some armoured cable in. I've got a little heater but I can only put it on whe...

@russ you should definitely get an electrician to install power in your workshop, it will make life a lot easier. Using extension leads is ok for now but it’s such a pain.

Posted by: @rocknroller912 @russ Your work space is looking good but you have picked the hardest time of year to start. Your right @rocknroller912. Timing hasn't been kind. I'm hoping for some nice ...

Hello Peeps, It's been a long slow journey with many hurdles to get over........one of them being no space to build in. I've been on this Forum for over a year now..... still no guitar wood cut. The ...

Posted by: @tej @russ Love it, are you tooled up so to speak or do you need to go shopping before you can start the build? Have you designed what you plan to make, I don’t recall seeing any plans? T...

Posted by: @tej Didn’t use power tools, just not used to hard woods and used an incompetently small pilot, clearly not the strongest of screws either mind 🙂 @tej My rule of thumb: whatever s...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Looks like you’ve had a life time supply of bad luck all in one build @rocknroller912 I can honestly say I every mistake has been down to trying to rush something when I s...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 I always do a dry run fitting parts before any finishing to avoid things like broken screws @rockneoller912 same here, all the times when things go right, that’s what happ...
