Cheers. Meant to say too that it is a 19" body based on a small 1950's Gibson with this beautiful shape. Couple of areas of novice mistakes however- one of my back braces must not have been flat on th...

Great. Antler Anthrax sounds nice. The band? ? I did see the fat busting procedure for butcher cow bone. Didn't think it would be so bad for antlers. Jerry Rosa never mentioned it for his. I kinda li...

Yup. Thanks Think the Alder slab is OK to mill up?

Attachment : IMG-2329.JPG\ This might be a stupid question but should I abandon this heel block, on account of the cracked knot you can see on the pictured face? Attachment : IMG-2330.JPG\ ...

So here it is The router moves up and down freely, and there is a riding nub which protects the cutter (here it is at full extension- I had to buy a 1/4" collet extender and build up the router base)...

Sure - I'm nowhere near switching this jig on! I see that there's an extra surface to register the body surface on... will keep thinking. The cutter will always be unguarded with this application no? ...

Shit just saw this post after posting my similar experience. Maybe we just keep our guitars outdoors once we've made them 🙁

I was just about to throw out this cheap LIDL drill alignment jig, when this thought occured: Attachment : IMG-2371.JPG\ Attachment : IMG-2372.JPG\ Attachment : IMG-2373.JPG\ I turn...

So, I've been practising making a chunky rosette, made from maple floorboards. I have 12 wedge pieces all glued together, and have just been drum sanding that, before proceeding to routing the final c...
