Thanks I’m glad I tried this as a practice first before using the expensive wood. I’ve never used a Dremel before and I’m thinking of ideas to raise the work height.

Its the camera angle, I checked it with callipers

@tej Tested my new bushing and pin cutting out the sound hole. It works much better. I know Mark uses a big router to cut these inlays but I wasn’t using a standard 6mm inlay only a DIY one from…   Read more»

@tej Im not very sure which fish oil but I heard an old radio programme a while ago where the company that was commissioned by the US Govt to find a rust protection/treatment talked about trying different things and Water…   Read more»

@tej I think using water in the rubbing down process is essential or there will be particles collecting on the abrasive that will tear the sealer out. It’s important to check the abrasive paper as you go along and make…   Read more»

Not yet I’m planning to try it this afternoon if the monsoon rain stays away.

@tej This Tele is Ash and as you know it has an open grain. The grain needs to be filled and sanded flat if you want to achieve a gloss mirror finish or a smooth, flat matt effect. You may…   Read more»

What’s your go to approach for ensuring you’re rid of all dust traces? @tej Well, my argument for compressed air comes into play again. Every workshop, no matter what you make, should have a compressor.  When you have finished sanding…   Read more»

@tej I’m presuming you’d mix it with the later coats of dye once you have the colour pretty much deep enough for your tastes, I think that once you’re happy with the colour then there no need to add stain…   Read more»

I don’t actually have the highlights to hand yet so I’ve no idea what I’ll even get as it was a bit of a whim. Could be great big flakes or more like dust! @tej At the moment, I have…   Read more»

Have a wee look at these @tej. Now we’re out of Europe the taxes might make it too expensive though.

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

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

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.This…   Read more»

I’d make the angle the top wing comes off the bridge end of the through neck more shallow, it looks a bit harsh to me which doesn’t quite work when the other wing smoothly curves. @Tej thx for the comments!…   Read more»

Hi @tej I got some of their Trade G clamps a few weeks ago in their sale and they are excellent quality. I would imagine that these parallel clamps will be fairly decent quality too. They are still highly priced…   Read more»

It was a new Dremel bit straight from the packet. Likely the very soft wide grain wood.

Man @tej ….. now I want pringles.  🙂

@tej If it’s got side adjustment it sounds like a plan but I’m not an electric guitar expert. If your neck is a tight fit there shouldn’t be much difference between the test fit and the final. I can see…   Read more»
