@rocknroller912 oddly I did something very similar but just rolled some sandpaper into a cone, it all worked out well, and the bridge is in the right place. Now it’s just the pick guard that needs rep...

The last month or so has been a bit of a nightmare as some of you know. My mum was suddenly taken ill and needed emergency brain surgery - it was touch and go for a while and they really thought she m...

My heart goes out to you all, it's such a horrific situation and although no time is a good time, this really is the worst. Please don't feel like you need to apologies, I know I've not been here long...

Best wishes Mark and I hope your mum makes some progress

Hi Mark, I hope your mum fully recovers fast and completely. No apologies needed at all, you make sure you take care of your family but also for yourself!

@markbailey. That is such sad news Mark. I do hope that your mum is comfortable and getting the best of care. We're continuing to hold you in our thoughts. Take care, 🙏🎶🙂...

@markbailey No need to apologise, just do everything in your own time. I hope things start to open up a bit more so you can get to see your mum soon and that she improves. Your emotions will be up and...

Apologies for any inconvenience Hi Mark, There has been no inconvenience and certainly absolutely no need for you to apologise. I am more than sure that everyone on your forums fully understands that...

@markbailey. Good to see you back on the forum Mark. Hope all is well with you. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Hello there @markbailey, how are you? I hope all is well on your end!

I’m gonna need more MDF! Yup @tej. Just like tools, we always need more!

I’m a bit worried about copy routing the pointy bits, any advice on avoiding tear out on those areas. You can 'Back Route' the corners to prevent break out: Route as normal until you are close to the...

@mattbeels 🙂 I’d just watched that in one of the videos too, I’m gonna need more MDF!

@cheesewhisk Looks great! I finished the body template for my less spiky bandsman. Looking forward to the finished article you create here! It looks like you’ve made a pattern from the pattern, was th...

Explorers are awesome. I like Firebirds and RD’s too but Explorers are just so James Hetfield for me. But my favorite has always been the Flying V. It’s just so... symmetrical and super badass. I also...

...also tear out depends on the grain at the pointy bits. Better to go with the grain rather than against I would think. I like the rd artist shape that’s a bit less pointy than an explorer but I gav...

as the double sided tape didn’t want to let go You could also consider screwing them onto the blank using screw positions that correspond to the pick up cut outs or control knob holes (if these haven...
