@robin you can get retangles of abalone and stuff off ebay, that's what I did with a view to chopping them up to make an inlay. Mind you, i fancy doing a scaley dragon or something down a fretboard...

Yeah im not done with #3 yet and I’ve already started on another. 🤣🤣🤣 I love this though. So build #4 was inspired by 3 Gibson guitars. The Les Paul, the SG (I thought it funny...

My attempt at fixing the gouges left by the cranky router Attachment : channel epoxy.mp4

@robin Marks method is so quick too, takes me no time to do a neck these days.

@rathius I need to stop the center of the bit at the nut but that seems too far. Any suggestions, thoughts, cautions, etc? Or maybe just some very helpful advice? I think you would want to stop wi...

@rathius put the rotuer down and grab a shinto saw rasp lol I love hand carving the neck But, sometimes like with doing the truss rod channel I'll use a clamp or clamp and piece of wood as a stop...

I finished putting the binding on. Hangs over the neck about 0.5mm. That will get taken care of once I put the frets and side dots in. Next step? That big scary router bit to profile the back of the n...

So I decided to take Sunday off but I’m back at it this morning. I just finished adding binding to the neck. Later today I will be cutting the rear profile of the neck with that bit. I’m planning to s...

@robin we will know tomorrow. I’ll be planing the truss rod filler in a while then glue the fretboard on, after I radius it with my 14” radius bit. First thing on the agenda tomorrow will be to either...

@rathius So remember this big scary radius bit? You're a brave man, good luck with that.

So remember this big scary radius bit? Attachment : IMG_0119.jpeg Well I finally figured out how I could use it and radius my necks instead of carving it. Attachment : IMG_0121.jpeg ...

Turns out our shop had some faulty colletes! I'm pretty sure these gouges will expose themselves so I'm going to try a little resin and make it a feature! More to come

@nsj Your bat inlay looks perfect, that's something else I'll have to try sometime. I had a try a while back using some shells off the beach here as inlay material, but the shell was to brittle and f...

Nice work @nsj. Enjoying watching you "faffing about on YouTube" with this one. 🎶🙂🎸🙏

@bpower Cheers. The secret is a dark ebony board, sawdust and superglue disappears!

@nsj that looks fantastic. A fancy inlay is something I'm still trying to build up the courage to do. 🙂

Ok so I got new binding, going with an ivory as I think it'll look great with the black limba. I'll choose some other pickups. Did my first ever 12th fret inlay, bought a jewellers saw and some fancy ...

@rathius I know it sucks but you're learning, I learnt mostly from making mistakes but now I feel so confident, know exaclty what I'm doing and don't get so stressed. Carving the edge of the fretboar...

The first one I ended up carving the fretboard edges and then found I’d made bigger errors before I had gotten to that point. Evidently I went all stupid when glueing that fretboard on. 🤦...
