@liebe make yourself a cheap router sled, I recently did that with a piece of contiboard and a couple of rails. Great for getting things straight. Then I'll stick it through my thickness planer to get...

Thanks @russ !

Cheers @russ, that's good to hear. I should have specified I'm taking about making electrics. So I'm thinking about carve or drop tops on the bodies, bit also the neck blanks and gluing the fretboard...

So I finally have a video of my renaissance guitar been played!

Hey @russ, thanks for the reply and suggestions. Do you have any experience of these machines? I can use a plane to a degree, but my skills are limited for sure and practice can only make that better....

And this is why I feel justified in calling my guitar the Bisset Bodge! Awesome work, Koen!

Hey folks, looking for a bit of advice. Up to now I've either bought or paid for my timber to be planed flat, whether it be neck & body blanks, but also tops for gluing into the body. I'd like to...

You've all been very good builders, so you can have an update from me as a reward😅 I've got the necks glued on two of the builds on, with the third going under the clamps just now. I'm really...

@jamesbisset it's looking awesome! A proper jazz box and love the headstock detail.

I was going to suggest some decent nails, but your approach seems to have worked just as well! 😉 Getting there Jim, getting there ...

You'll not see anything better on YouTube. [edit] Apologies all, I think autocorrect changed "Bisseter" to "Better".

Thanks for all the tips folks. I used the smallwonder-music.co.uk black CA with a tooth pick on the first pass. I’ve got some micro-tip applicators but they were far too fine for the cavernous gaps I ...

@tv101 I know, right? Otherwise it would have been like a broken light bulb - Bsst!

Nice save to add the "i" in above the bottom of the S!
