@tv101 which one are you? 🤣 🤣

@tv101 totaly! Watching other people on youtube and getting inspiration to improve my results!

When I’ve glued veneer I dampen the non gluing side to even out the effect of moisture in the glue. Don’t know if this is usual or not but I always think out of the box.

@tv101 Use the tubing, cut teeth in, drill it in then cut it off and file flush. Then start again, cut teeth, drill etc. That might work

@tv101 We used a two-pack urea resin. I doubt we’d have had time to correct my foolish error otherwise. And yes, left it overnight in the bag.

@tv101 yeh alumium tubing off ebay, 6mm with 4mm internal diameter. I also got smaller stuff for the side dots, had to sand a 2.5mm drill bit down to about 2.4mm seeing I could only find imperial but it works….   Read more»

@tv101 oh yeh, pesky neck, who put that there?
 
Didn’t think that in the small hours lying in the dark lol

@tv101 had an idea last night, you could do a shallow carve so there’s like 1mm of top around the egde then add binding, that would hide the fact the top was thin!

@tv101 6mm carve? Or, 5mm carve and leave a little edge all the way round lol

You are correct I think. I did a new fretboard for a professional jazz player two years ago and this is what he said.

@tv101 I put mine through the planer thicknesser but obviously sanding is even smoother.
 
But yeh, lots of people use that set up on various small pieces with good success, me, think I’ll just use the no7 handplane lol

@tv101 I’ve got a bosch, some makita clone and a ferrex from aldi, the ferrex thing is a sweet tool. so smooth and fairly quiet. Bosch is great with the fence for doing the trussrod and for bigger jobs. Makita…   Read more»

@tv101 That looks like a cracker of a tool, if I didn’t have 3 already I’d consider it but I’m routered out my nut lol

@tv101  My thinking is that, as you cut out the body, you’ve cut across the fibres of the wood, so there are lots of shorter lengths rather than long, bent, lengths, so the sides need to be thicker to have…   Read more»

Have you put the pick-up holes in the back???
 

@tv101
Ah yes… the other minor hiccups.

@tv101 here’s a free les paul template, very easy to print off. Just select the body then you can check it against yours for size.   I think the carve I did on this one is only 5 or 6mm,…   Read more»
