@jamesbissett. Hi James, you're music reminds me of the early 80's alternative Scottish music scene.....Orange Juice, Josef K, Aztec Camera and the like. 👍🤔 🙂🙏🎸...

Very neat video editing too @tv101. 👍📽️ 🙂🎶🎸🙏

just a thought about this the ferrules I had, had a lip round them so you’d need to cut a wider recess too with a larger bit if you wanted them flush. Thats indeed the issue, the shaft of the ferules...

You could even make sure the ferules go in straight with the 8mm bit, no matter what. @koendb just a thought about this the ferrules I had, had a lip round them so you’d need to cut a wider recess to...

The router is actually a good idea @koendb I have them occasionally 😛 As suggested before I’d clamp the router down to the body with a wide base plate after aligning it if I was doing this on...

@Tej, The router is actually a good idea! You just need to be very careful and have a right sized bit I guess.It is ideal, because you can really accurately place it and almost no chance of tear-out. ...

What was your methodology for placing the holes so evenly? @jonhodgson A square and a sharp pencil, with a bradawl for punching the starter holes. I find it helps to centre the bradawl on the mark if...

@tej That's very tidy. What was your methodology for placing the holes so evenly? I'm also looking at a Tele style build, and unfortunately top loading tele bridges are relatively rare (I haven't foun...

take no notice of @Boo, it doesn't have to be a solid finish in pink flake, other colours are available @tv101Absolutely! There's red flake and blue flake and purple flake, all sorts of choices!

I still find multiple "learning opportunities" on most builds ... @tv101 my main aim though is when it happens to be sure that I solve the problem first time without making new problems as I’ve done ...

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... After my last few weird suggestions I thought I'd go a bit more middle of the road. 😂🤣 🎶🙂🎸🙏

**Thanks TV** Just had time to open a mystery parcel this morning. @tv101 Thanks very much for these routing templates, a LP is definitely on my todo list. At some point I will need some of those ste...

Any job that "I'll just do this quickly" generally turns out to take much much longer! @tv101 yeah for my proper build I have to keep in mind I’m not working to anyone’s schedule but my own and that ...

@koendb other thought I had for this is if you get a loooong drill bit and make a thick drill guide from some hard wood on the pillar drill and then clamp this to the body and use that with the long b...

Nice save @steveadams! I guess you’ll be following Mark’s advice to the letter from now on, eh? 😆 All’s well that ends well...

placed my bridge in the wrong spot.. I never learn 🤣 @koendb Yeah I’ve done that before. You will learn eventually, I promise. I find that if you think too far ahead, sometimes you lose sigh...

Nice work @Boo! I had to do a similar repair a few days ago too, placed my bridge in the wrong spot.. I never learn 🤣

Man this build... Everything that can go wrong goes wrong multiple times it seems!So while the neck has its issues with badly seated frets and perhaps not perfectly shaped.it is the body I am struggli...

Making mistake after mistake it seems. It is like I am not able to keep an eye on everything, making sure everything is how it is supposed to be, I focus on one thing, failing to look for other things...

Getting the ferrules in was a disaster @koendb I really feel for you on this one, your picture of where the ferrules ended up is very similar to the mess I ended up with on my Tele kit build. Only cl...
