Sorry I had to leave the live stream early today but have just caught up now. Another very good session. What a resourceful machine a router is. Thank you again Mark&Carol. Great Team. 🎸&#...

@robin I have made a lot of mistakes and I’ve learned to just accept that they happen. I think it’s only because some of us have built a few guitars that we avoid the mistakes that we have done before...

@eddie6string I think I will stick with my router after hearing your story. Well done with the repair though and I like the veneer too. Thanks for flagging this up.

@eddie6string I had to splice a piece of Maple in matching the run/direction of grain, then cover with veneer. Isn't it fun finding a way to fix these little mishaps. I seem to be doing it more than...

Now I'm awake. This is My Favourite Song For This Moment. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment. Heard it on RadMac this morning and it has kick-started my day. 🎸🙂🎶🙏🔈🔉🔊

Excellent video @tv101 Thanks Tony, I just thought it would be easier for everyone if I made a video rather than type everything out.

@tv101 Just so you know, I really tried stalling for your lawn mowing. I actually screw down the ends of the chunk of wood on scrap and I screw side walls for the router base when I surface route the ...

Yep! This has sparked something in me, I’m gonna try it soon. I love these sessions. 🤘

I hope this video review helps other people make their mind up about this jig, it’s very good and worth the investment.

Looks brilliant....... Will have to order one.

@tv101 Ridiculously, I'd never thought of making veneers with the router I had thought of it, but you talked me out of it. The postman came empty handed today, he'll be back again on Monday.

Never even considered making veneers. Another great idea I’ll have to try.

Nice burner @boo!!! @tv101 Yeah thanks, it keeps the house warm in the winter. We don’t use the central heating, no need. I don’t have a guitar graveyard, I cremate the dead ones! 🤣

The fret slot jig from @darrenking that @tv101 sent me is an excellent prototype. My first impression was that it is an intuitive design so leaves little for the user to figure out. I say if you can g...

I took a measurement from the fret tang length with my callipers, I then transferred it to the adjustable parts for the saw height. These are easy to loosen/tighten with a #3 Alan key. I lowered each ...

Next was to check the saw (Crimson Guitars fret saw) for square. I used a small engineers’ square on all four sides. Attachment : DE94A3E5-4FC7-4FE6-A594-2C68701F6CB7.jpeg

The scale length template that you insert into the jig, houses the fretboard blank, using NEC tape (not the masking tape trick!) 🤣 The scale length is determined by a pin that is located in t...
