Thats a good save @clinton. It looked pretty nasty in the photo. I guess, unless you’re building a faithful re-creation of a well-known design, then most aspects of a build can be flexed to respond ...

Thanks @rathius. This one has been on pause while I tried to get to the end of my working year, and progressed the other build. Almost finished the messy work on the other build now, so will be able t...

@tv101 good job!

@tv101 it's not to tricky tbh, I just added an acrylic base to a router, bought a bowl and dish router bit then just knock up a quick template using 20mm mdf. The big base gives you lots of stability,...

Cheers guys

You’re in Scotland @boo?? Well, you kept that quiet 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hi I'm from England idle breakout

Job #1 - fit the cavity covers. Mainly so that I could trim the edges of the back-cap, and do the roundover on them. Wanted to have a consistent roundover all the way round, including the edge of th...

I glued the back-cap on last night, and used a few clamps to prevent a recurrence of the gappy join ... Attachment : 20221219_170929sml.jpg That seemed to work. Had to take the car into the d...

I like the curves on that design @nsj - I can't do anything quite like that on this build, but I had something similar in mind. Also really like the fact that you use proper cavity covers on your buil...

@tv101 Here's what I do to the neck heels area on my builds, I use 38mm screws from axesrus then I can do a 20mm neck heel and take the body down to 20mm at the join. Makes it really comfy and allows ...

Get some neck-blank sized scrap timber and try the bit on that first. Then get another bit of scrap and try it again, before you let it anywhere near a *real* (nice, expensive) neck blank!

Attachment : FE92BE49-46DF-4702-BDB4-FA6794F02F9F.jpeg So using that new fretboard caul I made earlier today, I now have the fretboard glued on. Decided to just carve neck instead of using that la...

@tv101 sounds like I need more wall hangers and more wall! Lol Attachment : 20221219_235234.jpg Attachment : 20221219_235245.jpg

Spot on @NSJ. I used a standard Tele plan as the core for the CNC design, and the standard plan assumed a standard 4 screws into a neck plate. The screw ferrule is 15mm diameter, which took it right ...

@tv101 screw ferrule for the neck is to close to the edge?

@tv101 surely the perfect gap for binding which would be pretty cool!

Attachment : E52CA76D-3B85-4C4E-B15B-A20CFAD71951.jpeg Didn’t like the first one I made even though I used it on my first build so before glueing the fretboard on the current build I made another....

After the first few hundred*, you get past that stage * years. 🤣 🤣

Not that @Robin - I’ll just redrill the bolt holes from the top through the new cap and use the holes as the centre points for the 15mm recess holes. Similarly, I should be able to find the thru-body ...
