@tv101 Very droll! It's not so much the banging, its the driving all those little wedges in with no way of countering the force they collectively apply. I might try squishing the tang a little with a...

@tv101 There's a guy in the US talks a good wall-build - and he's looking for a new job. If he can get my neighbour to pay for it, then the job is his.

a LP Jr double cut, single P90 planned... just a rock and roll machine... Oh yes. I want one. I WILL have one. You have to work for the tone, but it's worth it. Pure overdriven sleaze. You have to w...

Well, got my fretboard cut to shape, and glued on overnight last night. I have now radiused it and am carving the neck...progress!!

@jaxty Looking good! Love the LP jr.

@tv101It is... I call it "therapy"... I also realized I could have much better tools (i.e. the rasp that Mark uses in his videos... ), that would make my task easier and quicker...

@clinton Thanks! I've always wanted a simple guitar, with a single P90... I think this is it!

@jaxty Welcome to the site and forum. Neck making has become my favourite part of building guitars. My first attempt was ok but I wanted to become more proficient at it as it always felt like the most...

@boo Thanks for the welcome! I will likely sign up as a supporter and follow Mark's courses! I'm watching the live sessions through, and I really love Mark's no BS, anyone can do this attitude and d...

@jaxtyP90 is my favorite pick up.

Was able to get my fretboard radiused accurately (thanks for the tips!), the neck carve completed, and frets in yesterday. Good progress. On to the body routes next. Attachment : IMG_1681.jpg ...

Looking good

Here's a problem that I've been fretting over (boom, boom, see what I did there?) Has anyone ever resorted to simply gluing in frets? I ask because the neck of my Petite Bouche doesn't have a truss ro...

Having only radiused 3 necks I probably can't add much to the excellent advice already given (I clamped the neck, used a short radius block, and check with radius gauge frequently) but one thing I did...

@tv101 A quick search revealed the song was written in the 1920's. The version you (and I) heard on the radio in the sixties was from The Sandpipers.

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment.....Love this band but sadly they have split...... hopefully one day they will get back together. 🎸🎶🙂🙏

@boo maybe you could use some marital politics to negotiate a spare bedroom Unfortunately she had persuaded me to convert our spare room into a guest bedroom before I started making guitars. But she...

I'm so envious of you Boo, an indoor workspace, what a luxury. It's a bit chilly out in my lockup. @robin I bet it is cold up there in Scotland, some kind of heating would definitely not go a miss fo...

@tv101 I’ve got an oil filled rad in my workshop Oh, the luxury of electricity, it'll never catch on.

Dr who has got the perfect guitar makers workshop! Unfortunately in real life, the physics tends to work the opposite way around!
