Another Top Choice @marcel. 🙂🎶🙏🎸

Thanks guys. @darrenking I'll be in touch about that soon, need to chat with a couple of the other hackspace woodworkers about what we need. I'm also trying to get a bit of a guitar building group hap...

One warning with oil finishes is to be careful with your application cloth/paper disposal. The curing is pretty exothermal and apparently, it's not unknown for things to catch fire if you just lob the...

@boo most ebony species are considerably harder than rosewood.

If you want to do fancy inlays, ebony is probably a better choice than rosewood, the bits you have to fill won't be as visible. @jonhodgson Ebony is quite soft though, it can chip very easily but, li...

Sounds sane to me, I know not all wood is equal but would practising on say the off cuts of the mahogany neck be worth using? I don't have any spare rosewood lying around. @cheesewhisk Yeah, I would ...

I've got a dremel router base but no template, I do have some carving tools. I'm close to bottling it tbh but I would like to at least attempt something. I know Mark says keep it simple but always say...

Funnily enough I was watching an older video of Marks where he suggested debonder after someone glued her finger to her guitar. So yes, I definitely got some in before I started inlays.

Totally didn't glue my finger to my thumb either, well maybe for a split second. @cheesewhisk Have you bought any debonder yet for superglue? I have had a few close calls. 🤣

Having second thoughts about the 12 fret wings now but fortune favours the bold or something right? @cheesewhisk Do you have a routing template or small carving chisels for those wings?

To be fair the others went in absolutely fine, more 'learning experiences' eh? Totally didn't glue my finger to my thumb either, well maybe for a split second.

@tej . I’ve managed to clean it up fairly well but now the wood is lighter on two frets where I’ve sanded and scraped. Were you sanding across the grain to get close in to the fret wire. Try sanding...

@tej Yeah good idea to mark the chanel on the back before carve. I'll certainly do that. Then it's deep breath time and carve that neck 😀

Think the truss rod size changed - now a 6mm truss rod comes with the kit - not at home to check - you need to make the slot wider at the adjuster end - message Mark to check……..

Hey @tej Many thanks for the information buddy. Good to know it's not a disaster yet for me. I'll just be very careful in the carve. Cheers Paul.

Hey @markebailey, Thanks for the feed back Mark. 😀 How much wood should I aim to have between the back of the neck and the truss rod chanel after carving? Before carving I think it adds up ...
