@rocknroller912 thanks, for what it’s worth the use of imperial measurement was solely down to the strings and files being measured that way! Thinking about it the .008 set is on a guitar with a float...

@tej I can’t remember my previous comment but you have thrown me a bit as I always work in mm, however I’ve got my head around inches after some thinking. The set I use is 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm. I...

@rocknroller912 You answered a previous question around nut files but I couldn’t find it. Do you know what tolerance is generally acceptable for nut files, as in if I want a slot for an .008 gauge str...

I’ve noticed recently while buying parts online that there are some expensive templates for measuring nut spacing. Wonder if anyone has used one or if there are any opinions on how useful they are.

@markbailey @boo Sounds like a good idea, so just for further encouragement, sign me up for the nut making course too.

@boo Good call...Could be quite in depth - There are a lot tricks and tips that would help folks out...noted.

@markbailey What I think is worth exploring more would be a more in-depth look at nut making. When making guitars, I always buy a new nut and hope it fits. If the nut is slightly too high, I just sand...

@rocknroller912 makes sense, the guitar I worked was given to me to play with ultimately so it didn’t matter if I happened to ruin it entirely it wasn’t an issue. What’s your issue with titebond, this...

@wolframmalukker Will try to do a little shaping this weekend, maybe. Need to cut the truss rod slot first, I guess. Thats looking good. Mark always emphasises to do the trussrod slot before shapin...

@bpower I'm sure that you were warned that this becomes addictive, one thing I have learnt though is ignore the "honey do list" at your peril.

I have been thinking about, and working on, making some tools before starting my next build however I'm not sure I can last that long. @markbailey I'm not sure what you have created here in me but... ...

Posted by: @tv101 When was the last time you had anything like that WOW experience listening to something new? For me @tv101, it was the Black Keys. I was introduced to them back in 2004 just befo...

@tv101 still no good. even pretend strings are too "banjo...y". 🙂

@robin Good job, it looks like you have it sorted. I was surprised when you mentioned a truss rod as banjos don’t usually have one.

Well worked out @robin. 🪕 🙂🙏🎶🎸

Took the trussrod cover off the banjo and found solid headstock under it, just a pretend trussrod cover. So, I removed the resonater and seen how the neck is attached. I put a little veneer in the nec...

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment....... 🙂🎸🎶🙏
