This isn't for me (I want to try my hand at finishing my own) but a friend of mine has a Fender Jaguar that is now looking a bit worn and he just asked me if I had any idea what it would cost to refin...

@powerful . I just used a pipe and a heat gun. I got a 1 1/2" pipe that would fit over my heat guns tip. Put a bracket on in so I could clamp it in my vice. It is pretty low tech but it worked for the...

@steveadams Your videos are never boring, and since I got a new iPad I can even get them on full screen.

@powerful Pints certainly do come tonight, after a long motorbike ride in the sun I’m ready for a few.

That’s point taken mate. The pint comes tonight

Sound advice Rocknroller much appreciated. As I say it’s all pie in the sky at the moment but worth thinking about. Thanks for your input on this pint taken. Cheers

@powerful It could work however too much moisture can cause a ripple effect across the wood as the steam is absorbed differently by different parts of the grain eg flame maple where there is light and...

mighty quiet in here of late!? Yes it is really quiet the last couple of weeks. I guess life is catching up again 🙂

Yes Tej me too which led me to believe that directly introducing steam would simplify things a bit. I know people use steam boxes so maybe this would give similar results. Again I'm only guessing and ...

I think I might. It seems plausible to me but I really have no idea. Hopefully someone will stop me making a catastrophic error before I jump straight in (which is what I usually tend to do). If I can...

I think that you should try it out for us all @powerful and let us know how you get on. 👍😁 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Hi. Looking at all the ways to bend a accoustic side and watching Marks' youtube video, it appears that the fundamental thing to bending is the creation of steam. So if this is the case, would a pipe ...

You could always use a bridge with a separate tailpiece to occupy some of the bump? The bridge is already decided and I have it in my drawer 🙂I just need to alter the plan

Had to contemplated taking the angle from the centre line incorporating the end on the neck into it? AS a matter of fact, I did. But You do have a point though, if you look on the original drawing, t...

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 co...

This is what I came up with reshaping an existing plan Attachment : NeckTrough-1.png
