@tej Here is the video

@tej Marquetry is different to fretboard inlays, it’s contrasting pieces of cross grained wood traditionally fixed in with hot hide glue. Tracing paper can be used for both to draw the shape, so for ...

@tej Here is the link plus one on the knife it might be mentioned in both. Hope you have got Aldi out of your system, their advertising blurb is as infectious as Covid. Don’t be fooled again, ha...

@russ No grain

@russ I just happen to be next to it at the moment so here’s what it’s like. You can see how clean the holes drill for dots. Attachment : CF3498A8-2A0F-4EFA-9BB5-BC6F43F11765.jpeg Attachme...

@russ Ive got a fingerboard included in a Martin D28 kit I’m half way through building it looks ok and not as liable to split as Ebony.

@tej You could still rescue your pliers if you have a good blow lamp by using the above process. Good practice. Watch Mark’s video.

@tej Jon is correct. Heating metal goes though colours - blue, yellow, red then white. Hardening is done by heating to cherry red then quenching in oil as Mark demonstrated on the live stream making a...

@tej I use ordinary end cut pliers from the local diy shop with the end filed or ground to make a flat. They work fine and cost £2. When I go back to work later I will take a photo. Before I got fret ...

@tv101 I think Carol would make a very good DJ, she would have to leave the Guinness out maybe. Some of the late night radio presenters are different to the conventional BBC image. I always work late ...

tv101 Enjoyed your music on Bliss last night, it was better than Radio Scotland.

tv101 Yes forgot about the copyright police. I had an interesting discussion with The Peak Fiddler about his utube channel and how utube doesn’t understand that trad music with no known author has no ...

Two in one day

There’s no rules to this thread right ? Doesn’t have to be guitar stuff, so here’s my favourite tune today.

@tej Pulley would be a better idea for safety

@jonhodgson Thanks I’m not a electric player although I’ve re fretted a few.

@tej If you’re still thinking about making this I had another idea. A threaded mechanism could unwind depending on the direction of rotation, so following on from Robin’s idea of drilling a hole and u...

@tv101 I watched a utube video on this last year, think it might have been Texas Toast Guitars where he radiused a fretboard then put a different curve template over it. A sheet of paper wouldn’t go u...

@tv101 Thanks for filling in the blanks on black plastic, I thought there would be a longer story.
