guitar building group @jonhodgson now isn’t that something you’d loved to have stumbled across in the past 🙂

@robin no I masked off the fret wire and sanded with the grain. I’ll do a small test with some lemon oil to see if it magically vanishes and if not I’ll redo them all the same. I suspect the same as y...

@tej . I’ve managed to clean it up fairly well but now the wood is lighter on two frets where I’ve sanded and scraped. Were you sanding across the grain to get close in to the fret wire. Try sanding...

I’m still trying to get a wood order from Belgium that I placed in November 2019 2019??? I would request a refund 😡

@koendb Brexit has made life difficult for guys like us. I’m still trying to get a wood order from Belgium that I placed in November 2019 for which I paid Belgian VAT and no doubt I will have to pay U...

Attachment : IMG_20210617_141820089.jpg Just received my copy today.. it is SO expensive now, especially since brexit

Thanks guys. @darrenking I'll be in touch about that soon, need to chat with a couple of the other hackspace woodworkers about what we need. I'm also trying to get a bit of a guitar building group hap...

@tej Yeah good idea to mark the chanel on the back before carve. I'll certainly do that. Then it's deep breath time and carve that neck 😀

@hursty just measure it so you know where you’re at when carving. If it helps you can always mark a line before you carve the back of the neck so you know where the channel is.

Hey @tej Many thanks for the information buddy. Good to know it's not a disaster yet for me. I'll just be very careful in the carve. Cheers Paul.

Hey @markebailey, Thanks for the feed back Mark. 😀 How much wood should I aim to have between the back of the neck and the truss rod chanel after carving? Before carving I think it adds up ...

Hey @hursty - just to reassure you 12mm truss rod slot depth is OK...just be extra careful not to carve too thin or you will compound the error and that WILL likely be trouble!

@jonhodgson yes I’ve been warned about that before, no idea how likely it is to actually happen but not worth the risk to find out !

One warning with oil finishes is to be careful with your application cloth/paper disposal. The curing is pretty exothermal and apparently, it's not unknown for things to catch fire if you just lob the...

My favourite song today:

Hi Jonathan, let me know what you need and I’ll workout a price. I buy, use and sell this material all the time.CheersDarren

@koendb Thanks. It will definitely improve as I’ll clean up the whole board at the end which will leave a much more uniform look too if nothing else. I suspect the lighter colour is tiny particles of ...

things had been going so well it was a little disheartening! Yeah I know that feeling all too well :-/You might be able to get rid of it by sanding with very fine wet n dry.Eventually, even if you do...

@koendb I was careless filling the fret ends and on two of the frets the glue ran over the front of the board. I’ve managed to clean it up fairly well but now the wood is lighter on two frets where I’...

I then would rather keep the black scratch plate with white pickups and accents or perhaps cream ones, @koendb I can see that working too. I just find that the black knobs and pickups on the black sc...
