Just thought I would show off my new painting gear. Iwata airbrush and compressor, with a BenchVent extractor (with filters). Can’t wait to get going with these Createx paints. Attachment : 5E346...

Cheers for answering my head stock questions on the live stream @markbailey In answer to your question 'how big is this headstock anyway?' it's here above, obviously under the thread entitled 'Neck An...

Attachment : IMG_0076.jpg Headstock template, need some cleaning up

Thanks @clinton Did some more template work today, need to pick up some smaller screws for the actual neck angle.

@cheesewhisk. That is a keeper! May many neck blanks be surface routed on that!

@cheesewhisk I know what you mean about that edit button, it’s just sitting there... mocking you. Your jig looks great btw, let’s see some more.

Too be fair I started by cutting the MDF for both and ended up finishing the headstock angle first.

@cheesewhisk But... isn’t that the headstock angle jig in your photo?

Well that's pretty much the most woodwork I've done in my adult life 🤣 I think it worked out ok, onto the headstock angle jig next. Attachment : neck_angle_jig.jpg

Join us today in the workshop - I'll be making the back for Ricky's custom acoustic guitar. Carol will be on hand to take your Q's and then heckle me with them - cheers!

I’ll just go and make my butties. 👍

Yeah man. That is a nice router! That is all you need.

Bosch makes great routers and more than sufficient. I do builds with my laminate trimmer alone with jo problems. I do suggest a plunge base attachment. Believe me, you are gonna wish you got it sooner...

@frocesterbill guess copy paste doesn’t work for usernames 🙄

@frocesterbill Sounds like you got an amazing deal on that Dewalt, their tools ain’t cheap! Not as expensive as Festool though, their tagline should be: Tools for Rich People 😂

Thanks Matt Appreciate your input. If I had room I'd always choose Wadkin 4 phase. Axminster Craft has good reviews, but it's all in the setting up.

@eddie6string I get the impression that Axminster is the UK equivalent to Grizzly in the US. I have the feeling that they make good stuff but I’ve never seen their tools over here so I’ve never bother...
