@koendb Yes it’s hard to find a balance that feels good and a neck that’s too thin can be hard to play I find, as well as being unstable.

@tej I get your idea now. I usually align the neck with a straight edge along each side of the neck and make a pencil mark on the body from the outside of the straight edge. Then I measure the distanc...

@tej That sounds interesting but I cant imagine what it would look like. Have you got a plan.

@robin Good finish, Danish Oil is my favourite and good point about the cloths. I know a violin maker who burned his workshop down by throwing wet cloths in a bin full of wood shavings

@tej looks like you are getting the hang of guitar building now, making your own jigs. In the past I’ve used a neck template that was slightly bigger than the pocket template so it doesn’t quite fit i...

I’ve been searching my scrap pile for bits to make the body on my practice build and came up with these. Philippine Mahogany on the outside and an old bit of Mahogany window frame in the middle, all p...

@louis123 Congratulations a great project, I hope it plays as good as it looks.

@blake Good looking I like simple lines

@koendb Brexit has made life difficult for guys like us. I’m still trying to get a wood order from Belgium that I placed in November 2019 for which I paid Belgian VAT and no doubt I will have to pay U...

@robin Thinking of you both. My mum had the same illness and lived till she was 92 without it returning so there can be light at the end of the tunnel

@russ I didn’t word my post very well and what I meant to say was that I’m ok with someone telling me it’s not good enough yet

@tej Your build is looking good and fixing the dent worked well

@boo The choice between black and white is a hard one. Usually I don’t like anything white but the scratch plate and chrome looks good. I also like the black and that’s the one I would choose.

Still a bit more to remove from the back profile. I was waiting to get an opinion from someone who plays electric. It’s still too chunky apparently which I’m ok with, good to get feedback as you go al...

@robinI was sad to read your family news it puts my broken iPad into perspective. Your build is looking good.

@koendb Sounds good and I’m pleased you have got it finished

Here’s one for all the people who suck at routing, no names we know who we are.

@cheesewhisk How far should we twist his ear @mattbeels and I have to say I didn’t feel like fresh air this morning after last nights session on Guinness and Morgan’s Spice rum.

@cheesewhisk Looks like you’ve nailed it

Fretboard glued on using the pin method for lining up as shown in the live stream by Mark. I’ve never tried it before and used to just stand over it till the glue set. Attachment : 88C297DC-B44B...
