Nearly finished, few bits and piece to sort out... Attachment : D8EAE47E-CDE7-46C7-8BC2-29B57EC5105A.jpeg

Yeah, but where's it on its way to? @tv101 To me!!!!! Here!!!! ...and more importantly, soon 🙂 My mental attitude appears to have regressed to that of a child 😬 That’s probably a norm...

“Your parcel is on its way” Muhahhahahhahaa! As you were...

@jonhodgson that’s a great idea, it absolutely does!

To make sure you have them all on a perfect line, you just need to make sure to use guide rails, and glide the router between these rails. you can check well enough if the router bit ends up in exact...

You could even make sure the ferules go in straight with the 8mm bit, no matter what. @koendb just a thought about this the ferrules I had, had a lip round them so you’d need to cut a wider recess to...

The router is actually a good idea @koendb I have them occasionally 😛 As suggested before I’d clamp the router down to the body with a wide base plate after aligning it if I was doing this on...

What was your methodology for placing the holes so evenly? @jonhodgson A square and a sharp pencil, with a bradawl for punching the starter holes. I find it helps to centre the bradawl on the mark if...

@koendb This was the result of a test with using the router dowel cutter, it’s a soft start router so I got away without clamping it for the test so arguably could be marginally more accurate! Atta...

I still find multiple "learning opportunities" on most builds ... @tv101 my main aim though is when it happens to be sure that I solve the problem first time without making new problems as I’ve done ...

Any job that "I'll just do this quickly" generally turns out to take much much longer! @tv101 yeah for my proper build I have to keep in mind I’m not working to anyone’s schedule but my own and that ...

@koendb other thought I had for this is if you get a loooong drill bit and make a thick drill guide from some hard wood on the pillar drill and then clamp this to the body and use that with the long b...

Getting the ferrules in was a disaster @koendb I really feel for you on this one, your picture of where the ferrules ended up is very similar to the mess I ended up with on my Tele kit build. Only cl...

. I want to leave things better than when I found them ...by leaving more hand crafted guitars in the world 😉🙂

So my two hot slags turned up today, along with the metal surrounds for them. Blanks due by the end of the week, this is gonna be fun 🙂

@markbailey Pretty sure I mentioned before but your guys on this forum are helping a lot keeping things ticking over. Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions I’ve thrown your way too. Can...

@boo looking good, good cause too, what a nice chap you are 🙂

@boo love the idea, looking forward to the finale! Not sure I’d get away with hanging it in the living room though 🤔

@jonhodgson I’ll keep an eye out for discounts and hope for the best. It would be nice to be able to make everything myself in time.

You would do that with your nut files. @mattbeels given the tiny difference we’re talking certainly nothing to lose by trying it. I don’t have any nut files, they seem to cost a lot, is there a budge...
