Do you think there is any reason why this material couldn’t be used to make fret marker dots? @boo I don’t see why not, should look good. With regard to size look at how wide your fret wire is and w...

@russ I know but they’re all just down to carelessness, never worked on wood that mattered before so a little frustrated at myself, as you say though it’s all learning. Going to fix things in the morn...

So today led to a few issues, all of them user error, none of which I made on the test run! 1. Didn’t tighten the depth stop and noticed too late so one end of the truss rod slot has a deep hole in it...

@boo I went with a Stanley one, very much sounds like a huge drop in quality. A lot of reviews stating how much better their old ones from grandad are etc.

Morning all, what planes have you found most useful for guitar making please? I’m looking to get a small block plane #1 or #2 for taking off the bulk of the the truss rod fillet, I’ve other uses for t...

Opted to do a test on scrap, now have half a beautiful pine neck. It’ll be on eBay soon, don’t all rush at once. 20mm is a little tight so gonna add another half on. Rod was actually 9mm with calliper...

Here we go 🙂 This is the truss rod I have which gets quite big at one end: Attachment : 51148BFE-5B5F-4AD1-AEA1-E12068AD7BD6.jpeg @markbailey, or anyone else for that matter! The video ...

I don’t think Vantablack is robust enough to use on a guitar from what I’ve read. @boo yeah but it’d look awesome until manhandled though 🙂

I'd suggest taking a look at the Iron Gear site, see if there's anything there that you think would do the job, and buy them. @tv101 where I find Iron Gear let themselves down is you can’t compare t...

@markbailey thanks for that, do you know of any non-spray finishes that work well over them? Given the economy of scale clearly A3 is best “value” which also means I’ll have to make many many guitars ...

@rocknroller912 makes sense, I can’t say it’s one of the bits of the Build I’m looking forward to honestly. Mostly when I’ve used the stuff whatever it’s in seems to seal up part way through squeezing...

What’s the difference? I always thought they were two names for the same thing and a quick goofle search seems to confirm that... @mattbeels I’ve no idea it just wasn’t clear! I’ll watch that video t...

@rocknroller912 frets, not ferrets. Edit function!?!?!?

I don’t use superglue for inlays or anything else if I can avoid it. @rocknroller912 so the way the lesson shows putting frets in seemed to involve dropping superglue down until the gap is filled, su...

Sorry @tej... @mattbeels it’s fine, suppose it’s ok for someone else asks questions too 😛

@rocknroller912 I’ve seen the super glue accelerator used by various people along with liberal use of superglue for inlays and frets. I’m presuming the accelerator evaporates and leaves nothing on the...

@rocknroller912 thank you, so much to learn!

Evening you lovely people! My dream build that I’ll eventually make will need to have much more excitement on the fret board than some dots. I’ve a few ideas that I want to try but wanted to understan...

You could still rescue your pliers if you have a good blow lamp by using the above process. @rocknroller912 got consigned to the tip with the Aldi doom router as they just chipped. Have you got a lin...

@jonhodgson @rocknroller912 Thanks guys, appreciate the guidance, clearly need to take more care next time I do similar 🙂 It didn’t help only having access to a mini grinder as trying to get t...
