I felt really silly though, because the scarf joint is only about 1cm of the tips of the headstock, I could have totally cut this out as a single-piece headstock. That and I fear the headstock joint...

Nut files are funny things @tej I like the double edge files. Two sizes each with a handle and they have a V shape which helps to open up the top of the string slot, they suck for a PRS nut though. Ke...

Wow, that’s some pretty impressive work there @wolframmalukker! I love the idea of an Explorer Ukulele, it’s so cute! Especially since you are using the original headstock. Where are you from?

Posted by: @bpower My next thing I want to try and tackle is using the bagpress fret slotting jig I found that supremely easy to use. It has all the adjustment that you need - just set it up right ...

@wolframmalukker Will try to do a little shaping this weekend, maybe. Need to cut the truss rod slot first, I guess. Thats looking good. Mark always emphasises to do the trussrod slot before shapin...

@tv101 still no good. even pretend strings are too "banjo...y". 🙂

@robin Good job, it looks like you have it sorted. I was surprised when you mentioned a truss rod as banjos don’t usually have one.

Over the past few days, I've been listening to a lot of Velvets stuff whilst at work (I'm WFH permanently, so can have music playing when not on calls!). Album of choice has been the VU album, all 6 d...

OMG = Order More Glamps Glamps = sparkly painted clamps.

Took the trussrod cover off the banjo and found solid headstock under it, just a pretend trussrod cover. So, I removed the resonater and seen how the neck is attached. I put a little veneer in the nec...
