@jonhodgson Yeah I think I’ll email him, see what he can suggest, thanks. I need something to match this yellow on the pickup, something quite vivid. Attachment : FB99FC16-34BB-44E2-8DFB-B75242B...

Hi Koendb and Jonathan, great to meet you both. I finally managed to find a Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S so have ordred that. Stocks of the machines seem to be trickling into the country now. I've...

Multi guitar building. Well impressed. @russ Thanks man. When the weather is terrible, I can’t get any gardening done and when other builds are hung up waiting for paint to cure and settle, I might a...

Out of the clamps and ready for the bandsaw. I’ll be marking up the angled headstock to get it in a couple of routing jigs (surface routing). Attachment : A5035F76-37A0-4D56-B611-C2805FEC98A9.jpe...

Cut the excess off and made the stacks, glued and clamped. Did this yesterday. Attachment : 3D42B3A7-138C-4F53-BF54-FE458B8121AE.jpeg Attachment : 17B44461-2F10-416A-B39C-52BA4DB36C51.jpeg

Nice neat routing, keeping it all precise. Attachment : C2B49DB3-C819-4074-AB66-455D5D3A7479.jpeg Attachment : F559E3DC-4D9C-4114-A18B-CFBC4C1D6197.jpeg Attachment : BB6D9D9D-68EA-4...

Good morning fellow builders, how are you all? I’m starting another build, a Bailey Bandsman again. Started with the neck by marking everything out, this one is going to be 24.75” scale length, Gibso...

@booMaybe the gentleman at Small Wonder Music that Mark talks about in the video could supply some in Honey Jasper? That looks pretty yellow on the website.

Does anyone know where I can get bright yellow (not gold mop) inlay dots please? It could be plastic or any other suitable material really.

@tej Here is the link plus one on the knife it might be mentioned in both. Hope you have got Aldi out of your system, their advertising blurb is as infectious as Covid. Don’t be fooled again, ha...

I know of the others, just thought it was interesting

@rocknroller912 I’ve seen the super glue accelerator used by various people along with liberal use of superglue for inlays and frets. I’m presuming the accelerator evaporates and leaves nothing on the...

@rocknroller912 thank you, so much to learn!

@tej Here is the video

@tej Marquetry is different to fretboard inlays, it’s contrasting pieces of cross grained wood traditionally fixed in with hot hide glue. Tracing paper can be used for both to draw the shape, so for ...

This stuff is also interesting, though they don't post prices. They produce fake rosewood etc by compressing other woods (such as maple). It seems they compress a sollid piece, so the original grain i...

@russ I don't know about Ebano, but I have a Rocklite Sundari (fake rosewood) blank here and it has grain. If I didn't know it was engineered I'd assume it was real wood, maybe not rosewood (I don't h...

@russ No grain

You could still rescue your pliers if you have a good blow lamp by using the above process. @rocknroller912 got consigned to the tip with the Aldi doom router as they just chipped. Have you got a lin...

Evening you lovely people! My dream build that I’ll eventually make will need to have much more excitement on the fret board than some dots. I’ve a few ideas that I want to try but wanted to understan...
