All good practice for when you start on the 'good stuff'! Jigs look Ace - half way there!

@russ Your well on your way there with your jigs made now Russ. The thing I found crucial to using the jigs properly was to make a wider base for my router.

@tv101 Don’t! It’s not funny! I’ve normally swum about 300km by this point in the year. 2020 total is currently 120km. On the plus side by buoyancy is up!

@jamesalexandermcmillan It might not be easy but could you leave the fretless section very slightly raised to match the height of the frets? I don’t really know why @tv101 brought this up but obs, the...

Hi Boo, I think your very act of congratulation has reprojected you to the top on goal difference!

That's the symbol for a diode so this is for checking whether current flows through a component in a particular direction. I guess you could use it as a means of checking continuity but it's not ideal...

It is an expensive hobby for sure but there are advantages 😀 I have guitars that I would never buy in a million years but I can make for myself at a fraction of the cost. Like I always say - ...
