I think my next big purchase will be a dust extractor for the bandsaw. Or maybe I’ll try building a YouTube special version first... 🤔 @mattbeels Yeah you should definitely get extraction fo...

@boo, yeah I forgot that one... I saw some small machines for a couple hundred bucks but I’m not really in the market for one yet. I think my next big purchase will be a dust extractor for the bandsaw...

Nice work @Boo - it's all in the prep!! Now, photos of the pizza ??? Thanks @tv101 It is indeed all in the prep. Too late for pictures I’m afraid, it’s now an ex pizza. 🤣

what are you going to make from that nice flat piece of Ash? Hi TV, Actually not that nice if you look closely! It has significant worm damage down one side so I would need to find another piece to m...

The cheaper ones I’ve found weren’t really that much cheaper than the best ones, and the alternatives like using welding cleaning files tend to suck at nut slotting Yup, that’s true.

@jonhodgson I’ll keep an eye out for discounts and hope for the best. It would be nice to be able to make everything myself in time.

@tej There are several sources for nut slotting files and if you’re going to build a guitar(s) you’ll have to adjust the nut. The set from Hosco is high quality and will work for 8’s, through 11’s. Yo...

@mattbeels Someone must be playing them, they keep making them. I imagine their biggest seller is probably the T5 though, which is more of a hybrid, and has a rather natty looking narrow pickup,

@tej unfortunately there’s not really that much choice in the world of nut slotting files from what I’ve seen. The cheaper ones I’ve found weren’t really that much cheaper than the best ones, and the ...

Part of it as I recall was that the neck was a 12 inch radius, but the strings were given a 15 inch radius at the bridge. @jonhodgson A customer told me about that article but I never read it. Furthe...

When you’re talking about actions and fretwork you’re in the realm where a few 100ths of a mm can make a difference. This is what it comes down to. I know that the difference between the two are bas...

You would do that with your nut files. @mattbeels given the tiny difference we’re talking certainly nothing to lose by trying it. I don’t have any nut files, they seem to cost a lot, is there a budge...

Too tidy to be a workshop! Tidy your workshop with this one simple trick! Move all the stuff onto the other bench. Attachment : tidy workshop.jpg

Nice tidy workshop James.

Attachment : 74654923-9627-4E9E-94C2-E17B5FFA48F7.jpeg I reckon it’s time for some new pics. I’ve got a lot more wall to fill.

You'd deepen both E strings the most, then the A & B strings a little less, and leave the D & G slots alone. @tej @tv101 It all comes down to the player in the end and how sensitive you are...

@jonhodgson Thanks I’m not a electric player although I’ve re fretted a few.

@rocknroller912 When you’re talking about actions and fretwork you’re in the realm where a few 100ths of a mm can make a difference.

@tv101 I watched a utube video on this last year, think it might have been Texas Toast Guitars where he radiused a fretboard then put a different curve template over it. A sheet of paper wouldn’t go u...
