@tej looks like you are getting the hang of guitar building now, making your own jigs. In the past I’ve used a neck template that was slightly bigger than the pocket template so it doesn’t quite fit i...

Great work @tej! In my experience when scraping the fretboard you‘ve got to do it all for it to look the same. Sucks but…

Nice body @clinton. Thanks for sharing your thoughts @Russ and what about the guitar? 🤣

Nice body @clinton. 😁 🎶🙏🎸🙂

I’ve been searching my scrap pile for bits to make the body on my practice build and came up with these. Philippine Mahogany on the outside and an old bit of Mahogany window frame in the middle, all p...

@louis123 Congratulations a great project, I hope it plays as good as it looks.

How much wood should I aim to have between the back of the neck and the truss rod chanel after carving? It is quite difficult to measure how much wood is left so don't get too hung up on it...the o...

@tej I suspect it's a combination of1) fretboards are usually a tight grained wood 2) He wipes it off straight away Obviously try it for yourself on a piece of scrap first if you can, but I don't thin...

I think either way would be fine. The wood glue does clean up easily and you still need to do the job of cleaning/scraping the fret board before it is all done anyway so I dont think glue residue woul...

Wood glue is much easier to cleanup than superglue, so long as you do it as you're going along, a damp rag will do it. That's why Ben Crowe has abandoned the superglue approach, I've seen him do both ...
