Routers are horrible things. Aren't you painting this one Boo, I'm sure you can fix that and hide it. @robin Yeah I’m painting it so I can easily do a repair and it will never be seen. I know what ...

“A router is not dangerous so long as the person holding it is not dangerous”. You're absolutely right Boo, all the routing errors on my first build were entirely my fault, not the router's. This tim...

Epoxy and saw dust. If it is gonna be painted anyways.

I guess if you could get the fretboard off you might be able to add a chunk of wood onto the neck and then re-carve but it might take as long as starting again hopefully reusing the fret board.......

@boo Just do the same thing on the opposite end so it matches and call it done! 😜

@boo A Trend router, nice! Why did you put in the dowels?

Superglue and sawdust makes everything nice and smooth. It may look like there are still gaps but I assure you they are not, they are filled with superglue. Attachment : 84881FDB-CC23-4ADB-B35E-1...

Today I’ve also drilled holes for other bits of hardware hardware and test fitted it all. Attachment : 10718FD6-78B9-4E6F-B749-724613886D26.jpeg Attachment : 554F286B-8E8D-4D5D-896B-ABF4C8...

@boo, great answer. I like the fact that you are building this one first as a 'practice' and then lending it to the customer to try and then make adjustments / alterations as necessary. Obviously not ...

Is this your second build or second Bandsman? @peebee Yeah it can make it easier but I like it when I get a bit of artistic licence too. If you look at this one on paper, it looks simple but there ar...

Looks great, with a customer specified design I imagine that this in many respects makes the process easier in that the decisions are made but challenges you to do different layouts and configurations...

Yeah I’ve thought about it but 2k filler doesn’t shrink @boo 🤞👍🤘

Best of luck with that. I would be worried that whatever you use to fill the gaps will shrink over time leaving you with an ugly, shit-eating grin... @mattbeels Yeah I’ve thought about it but 2k fill...

I think I read in an earlier post that you aren’t going to use a pickguard on this one? How about a top? Just thinking that to permanently hide that neck joint is highly unlikely, unless you’ve got a...

I used to have a Tascam Porta One Ministudio, it was awesome. I wonder what happened to it? I spent a lot of time recording myself to guage progress with that thing. Now I miss it, sniff...
