Thanks Matt and Boo. I might look for a more robust one and use this for the profiling jobs. Cheers, Russ 🙂🙏🎸🎶

I've managed to acquire a Bosch GKF 1/4'' router. Do you think it will be big enough and powerful enough to do all the jobs for my Bandsman build? This is a good little router for sure but you will n...

@russ That is what’s known as a Laminate Trimmer. Do you have a plunge base for it? If yes then read on... If you go easy on the pickup and neck socket routes you’ll be ok, but go easyish... remember ...

Yes - agree with choice of B - option A leaves you in the same situation as an amp with a guitar lead plugged in - buzzzzzzzeeeee! @forcesterbill Thanks for the second opinion Bill, much appreciated....

Here’s how to wire a killswitch, I would go for B as the switch is always grounded and probably helps reduce popping... @mattbeels This saves me a job, thanks Matt. 👍

In case you didn’t know, Shadow makes a Killpot, a momentary switch built into a pot. @mattbeels Thanks Matt, I didn’t know such a thing existed, I’ll store that info away for next time. This is my f...

@boo Clean work, nice! I‘m a mad Buckethead fan from waaay back, his use of the kill switch is great! Personally I don’t like the arcade switch, I think it’s too big but to each their own... it works ...

I like the bumblebee pickup! @mattbeels Thanks man, this is a Bareknuckle Rebel Yell in yellow and black. It’s not for this guitar but it is going on another Bansman that I will be building when I’ve...

@boo Lookin good dude, I like the bumblebee pickup!

This model is only having one pickup and one volume pot. There is also not going to be any scratch plate so I need to do a stellar job of getting the tenon level with the body. I’ll have to use some f...

I managed to get my head into gear today to do a bit more on my second bandsman build. A bit of routing and bandsawing. Attachment : 11205305-0CA6-496E-B3E5-68C8A3539FBD.jpeg Attachment : ...

@cheesewhisk The picture of the sawdust is great! So what are you planning for your first build?

Is a tree as a guitar an ambition fulfilled? And is the sawdust jealous?

As promised @markbailey it's now a complete tip again. Today, I built my bench, setup and tested out my very first bandsaw and actually made some sawdust. We are now, officially cooking on gas. A...

@cheesewhisk That’s a decent sized work shed for building guitars in. I’m lucky that I have a decent garage to work out of and a small bedroom in the house I use for the less messy jobs. I’ll be movin...
