but does anyone know what drill bits to go for in the UK? Hi Russ, For my money the DeWalt Extreme bits are very good value but can be a little bit ‘grabby’ in the larger diameters (10mm+) especiall...

@tej I would be very careful trying to adapt or build a high speed cutting machine it’s an accident waiting to happen. I think Mark said that his circular blade was a special order. Using the wrong ty...

which makes it instantly less appealing. Eh, yeah! I’ve spent about £340 on parts, stock and custom made, so far and I still don’t have everything I need. If I ever finish my power fret slot cutting ...

@tej That link doesn’t go to any particular product/tool. Do you mean a fret slot saw? Or a circular saw blade? Fret slot saw -

Hey @tej. Not sure but I think these guys supply Stewmac and other guitar making companies with their fret slot saws. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

@tej. Oops. I forgot that Mark & Carol supply them in the shop. Get it from here. 👍🪚 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Aldi and Lidl are really great for Parma ham, mozzerella and cheap Ritter bars but I think that any tools, possibly other than clamps, should definitely be viewed as a short term solution. Nothing wro...

PROJECT IS FINISHED! Hi guys, my guitar project is finished, i still have to make a plate to cover the trussrod at the headstock but the guitar is ready and she plays fantastic. here are some pictur...
