I’ve had someone offer me the use of some machines I can use to prep my own blanks. Can anyone recommend a supplier of unprepared wood so I can figure out what the saving would be over buying a ready ...

Posted by: @ And people used to just point a torch in the end of the tube for a heat source and that would not be a tight fit. It is just directing the heat down the pipe. Also.... do not use galvan...

@powerful it is a snug fit but not tight. I dont think it needs to be a tight fit though. Just set it up so the heat gun doesn't fall out of the end when you are bending it. Not that it is a big fire ...

Hi Bpower. Is it a tight fit around the heater nozzle and also is the opposite end of the pipe closed off at all. Thanks

@powerful . I just used a pipe and a heat gun. I got a 1 1/2" pipe that would fit over my heat guns tip. Put a bracket on in so I could clamp it in my vice. It is pretty low tech but it worked for the...

where can I find his livestreams can see a link from Here too them. Am I missing the obvious Here? @tej: Workshop Weekend Sunday Special !! Building a guitar at home - Making a Thru Neck Guitar

you want/need consistant clamping pressure across the wood and that’s going to be hard with a profile cut into it. On the other hand pretty unwieldy to cut once the next is attached though with adequa...

@koendb But your wings should already be roughly shaped. So this is one of the parts I was really unsure with, I’d assumed you wouldn’t cut them to shape as I’d expect you want/need consistant clamp...

I’m sure Mark did a live stream on neck through construction. @rocknroller912 where can I find his livestreams can see a link from Here too them. Am I missing the obvious Here?

I challenge you to cut those horns with a router. @rocknroller912 or perhaps a sharp spoon!?

@koendb I’m sure Mark did a live stream on neck through construction.

Ok if it’s too quiet I’m up for stirring the pot. I challenge you to cut those horns with a router.

I’m not familiar with the approach for neck though, at what point do you join the wings on to the neck? @Tej I don't know yet. This would be my 3th scratch build and first one with a neck through.Thi...

@koendb so what’s the plan for getting the build done, I’m not familiar with the approach for neck though, at what point do you join the wings on to the neck? My next build is, in my head, to be neck ...

@hudsoncustoms Here is a link to the utube channel

@hudsoncustoms Welcome to the forum. If you can build a complex instrument like a hammered dulcimer you shouldn’t have too much trouble with guitars. There are lots of utube videos from Mark Bailey on...

@hudsoncustoms sounds like you’re starting with a much clearer view of the end game than I did 😬 Any pictures you’d be happy to share?

Thanks for asking, Tej. I've successfully built my prototype, and have since finalized a multitude of mods, from body shape, pups selection, harness, to final headstock design and neck/board construct...

Thank you, Koendb

@tej Best person to ask is @boo he’s the finishing expert
