So the dowel cutters I have are utterly useless @tej, I saw this video just recently.

So the dowel cutters I have are utterly useless, at least two of you can guess where hey came from? 😉 Had to turn some on the trusty toy lathe. Have some ebony and Indian rosewood veneers on t...

I think I’d rather laminate it than paint it for this build, I’ll have to find some nice wood to do that with as I’ve nothing I can use. I’m presuming this is “simply” a case of roughly cutting the la...

well.... you could make some dowels out of the off cuts when you cut the head stock out (so the color is the same) and glue them in to fill the holes. Then cut new holes. And then, if it was mine, I'd...

Well it looks like I didn’t learn the lesson about not working on this when tired and I’ve managed to to not only mark out but then drill 2 tuner holes a whole 10mm out 🤬 short of laminating t...

@tej I have one of these hammers too, they do the job nicely.

Still need a fret hammer and fret end nippers and can’t find a shop with them both at a sensible price and also in stock! There are a few places people have suggested at various points for me to check...

@boo will have to check the design and get back to you. A lot shorter that you see on the picture. Need to make a template for that too actually. Progress stalled slightly as I realised I’d not made a...

I’ve made a bit more progress now, fixed the sloping truss rod channel by routing to the lowest depth and glueing in a strip to the base of the slot. Angled the headstock, thicknesses it and rough cut...

20mm is a little tight so gonna add another half on. Rod was actually 9mm with callipers so most of it is routed to 10.5mm and the bit for the adjuster is at 12.5mm depth with the wider bit. Used the ...

Opted to do a test on scrap, now have half a beautiful pine neck. It’ll be on eBay soon, don’t all rush at once. 20mm is a little tight so gonna add another half on. Rod was actually 9mm with calliper...

Here we go 🙂 This is the truss rod I have which gets quite big at one end: Attachment : 51148BFE-5B5F-4AD1-AEA1-E12068AD7BD6.jpeg @markbailey, or anyone else for that matter! The video ...

What’s the difference? I always thought they were two names for the same thing and a quick goofle search seems to confirm that... @mattbeels I’ve no idea it just wasn’t clear! I’ll watch that video t...

@mattbeels Probably the best explanation of various truss rod types I've come across, from a friend of the channel.

@tej What’s the difference? I always thought they were two names for the same thing and a quick goofle search seems to confirm that...

Stalled at the start line, so after deciding to go with the longer fretboard I needed a new longer truss rod, it arrived this morning but was the wrong one. I’d assumed “double action” what the same a...

I quite like it though! @tej I like it too, it’s asymmetrical now but there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s a different beast but it look balanced and I bet it would be really ergonomic to play. I do...

The adjusted horns based on Marks suggestion, going to leave it for today and see what I think in the morning I reckon, I quite like it though! Attachment : 84E9D52A-4EA9-4D6E-B072-946A5AE84522.jp...
