Making a mock-up neck seems like a great idea to me...a little practice...I bought some cherry wood that I had to cut & clamp, for a neck, then decided I would save that for a Mandolin build later...

I'll have to get the reissue as I haven't got a spare £1000 for the original. Neither have I. But I increased the value of the others by sitting on my own original copy. Vinyl doesn’t like people sit...

Heh - glad you’re enjoying it @russ. You’ve unerringly selected the most popular track on the album, and it wasn’t even written by me! For those interested in such things, I was playing my Dan Armstro...

@Wayne_F That little practice neck was worth doing, and I like the shape of the headstock. Would it be an option to make your headstock routing jig just a little deeper, so that your router base would...

Look at that velute, mighty fine work there @boo that is some great looking flat black

Hey Boo, it’s great to have you putting this little machine through its paces and to see it doing such a sterling job for you! Whoever knew that sewing machine motors could be so useful? Cheers Darren

I'm now doing some work on the neck, I'm rolling the fretboard edges over to make it a bit more comfortable to play. I'm using a razor blade to scrape off the majority and then going over that with so...

I spent a little time on this bass today. I got the Mirka out and then the buffer. It's come up a treat @darrenking 😁👍 Attachment : IMG_20210927_162018.jpg Attachment : IMG_...

Cheers guys it really does mean a lot and spurs me on more than I can tell you. I'm determined to finish before the early nights set in and the Scottish weather is upon us, winter is coming.

Great job @cheesewhisk! 👍👍👍

Huge thank you to all those that voted to get a Mirka sander, what a difference that made. @cheesewhisk Yep, told you I would be a good investment. 😁👍 Your guitar build is looking gre...

Huge thank you to all those that voted to get a Mirka sander, what a difference that made. So this is it, sanded and a finally took the plunge and glued the neck in. Obviously I was terrified and obvi...

Today it's 28 years ago that my youngest son Jarmo was born. He was named after the Dutch trumpet player Jarmo Hoogendijk. Unfortunately he started having problems with his embouchure and after a botc...

Does anyone know what this gouge with the strange handle would have been used for. @robin I can’t help you with that one Robin. It’s concaved so some kind of gouge or something. It’s not for chipping...

Here's a short update on progress. More will be happening very shortly. @wayne_f Yeah, I offset the hole in my router base plate to avoid that happening. It’s no big deal, you can just cut some exces...

Here's a short update on progress. More will be happening very shortly.

Thanks. No concrete plans as yet but fancy trying an acoustic or hollow body for a bit of a different challenge. I like to do everything the hard way so might try to incorporate a few technical diffic...

@electricstringtheorygmail-com That looks great! Good job. Any ideas for a next one?

Well done, I'd be happy with that. I'm sure it'll be the first of many.
