@Jozefbehr, @markbailey, @wayne_f, @robin, I followed Mark's advice and created a paste [with regular Tite Bond] by sanding another piece of mahogany - filling, then scraping. of course, the pasting r...

Are those shaped diamond stones (or similar)? Where did you find them @Russ?

@robin , Thanks Robin, that's a no bad idea. I was thinking of altering the shape of the headstock slightly and I have scrap I can use to test that out and see how it looks. Will try that this week. 🙂

Rather than using screws for the neck/body, I'm going to use recessed bolts through the body with captive nuts in the neck. The neck join area is a bit thick, so 5mm off with the router, and then blen...

Something calm for a Sunday

Posted by: @wayne_f Did you make that mount or buy it? I bought it from ali express. It was dirt cheap 🙂

@boo living the dream boo!! I’m jealous!! Darren

By a strange stroke of luck @Russ - yes it is 😀 One day, I might have the time to program a complete guitar into the machine, press go, and then watch it happen. For now, it's taking most of my ava...

@norriemac I think I would glue the 3mm olive wood onto the headstock before gluing the fretboard in place. Then flatten off the olive wood down to level with the top face of the neck where the nut i...

Thank you Russ, Robin & tv1, That's put my mind at ease. I've still to glue the fretboard anyway so will work on that and in the meantime I will practise blending on scrap before doing anything w...

I'd say that the thickness is more to do with the tuners fitting neatly, rather than a strength requirement. I'd add the thicker veneer. Using good old Titebond (if it's good enough to keep the neck ...

It would have been a lot (*lot*) quicker making this the normal way, but I'm trying to get more comfortable with using the CNC machine. To be fair (to me), the CAD'ing bit is fine. It's just making...

Posted by: @russ Posted by: @tv101 finally managed to get hold of the Ed Kuepper (who?) "singles" CD set this week. And it includes this version of the original classic - bonus points for anyone w...

Back to my Rough Trade compilations today - it's a bit like listening to Radio6 Music but without the DJ interruptions

As soon as I logged in I thought to myself "oh, wow. New design!" I like it. If I hadn't read this post I probably would have spent a minute or so looking for the lost "like" button haha.

I have no idea about this , now checked ..

Looks great! Love the color and the overall shape of it. Particularly the end of the fretboard and the pickup mount. Did you make that mount or buy it?

@poco7 Thank you bro for considering , really it is good place.
