Morning all, do any of you have experience of using machine wax on bandsaw or table saw beds? What’s your verdict if you have?

@russ I think that’s the better plan, they’re useful for a lot of tasks. Just please check the distance into the piece the one you get will cut, mine didn’t have clearance to drill the string holes an...

@russ, so I tried it out on a scrap of pine with a 10mm Brad point, a couple of points right away. Firstly the guide doesn’t fit perfectly snug in the plastic holder. Secondly when it’s in there and y...

@russ if there’s something specific you want me to test out with it let me know and I’ll post up the results.

Has anyone ever used one of these to drill a straight hole? Are they accurate? @russ I’ve a set of those, came from axeminster I think. They’re ok, trouble is keeping them steady at first, where the...

When the only slotting jig was StewMac's expensive one @tv101 I’d not seen that one, insane money for what it is, the approach with bearings looks like it’s mean it wouldn’t wear from the friction bu...

Interesting thoughts, I’d not looked in detail at the additional bits and pieces that would need doing to the table saw etc which makes it instantly less appealing. Just how short of time are you? @...

@rocknroller912 Thats what I was presuming with the “dull” look, it’s hard to tell what anything will look like without testing. I think there was a finishing oil someone mentioned that was used but ...

@russ they do look nice, this is the problem, I love the hand tools but am all to aware of the time I’d need to put in to perfect something I can do on the table saw in seconds. Time is something I do...

That link doesn’t go to any particular product/tool. @boo circular saw Saw Mark using one in his one lesson

I’ve used a finish (hot auburn) from www.wudtone.com in the past on a basswood body kit guitar, the one in my profile pic. Absolutely love the finish I got but I’m wondering what results I’d get from ...

Has anyone used one of these blades for fret cutting, the most popular I’ve seen it on from Stew Mac who’s price is just laughable? If you know of a cheaper source for a quality blade please shout.

So I just logged onto the site from a computer instead of a phone and a message popped up to say orders are taking 5 to 7 days so all being well I’ll be good to start some point next week 🙂 De...

B&Q in particular make it easy to follow the “don’t buy” guidance as they’re generally out of stock of anything you might have wanted to buy. But what they do offer is their own inadequate replac...

Hah, I would but it’s just the same as the pattern from the course but with a 25.5 scale fretboard so nothing exciting to share. I did try to extend the horns out a little but just made it look odd so...

Thanks, nice people have such a high opinion of their work 🙂 I put an order in (here) yesterday, I’ve finished the first draft of the design now, so will focus on making templates and jigs un...

Cheers, I’ve ordered a pre slotted board from GuitarMaking shop so I’ll get the feeler gauge out to measure the tang width and use the depth gauge when that arrives.

@mattbeels Thanks, not entirely sure why the simple solution of measuring what I’ve got on other guitars I like didn’t pop into my head 😬 Is the part that goes into the fretboard a common size...

So having ordered every bit of my future creation I’ve realised that I’ve not ordered any fret wire. There appears to be a crazy number of choices in terms of size and composition and I’m not sure whe...

Cheers, yeah I should have said I don’t have a jointer or thicknesser so they will need to be prepped blanks.
