@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 So could one use syooper glue and wotsit tape instead? I've gotten the impression that superglue and wotsit tape is frowned upon.

@james-chacewatergmail-com-2 I'll keep you posted with the next cock up I thought that I was king of the router cock ups. Have a look at my "First Practice Bulid" post, you'll find all my learning o...

I'm new to the site, but have a couple of builds on the go... have made several mistakes on the way, on previous builds, and these ones, but have been able to recover. Building necks are the bane of m...

Hi Jaxty, you're doing well there. I used a Bailyley pre slotted and radiused fretboard for mr first build, and iv'e got another one for my next build. What do you use to radius your fretboards?

Cheers TV... so I fix my dodgy routing with some more, er..... routing? What could possibly go wrong? 🤣

@clinton My Diy frame saw. I like that saw, how much practice does it take to for such a straight cut ?

@boo I’m using a 1” blank that is long enough for me to cut pieces off to stack at the heal and headstock ends. That's what I had intended doing with 33mm thick mahogany plank, Mark looked at the...
