@rocknroller912 I bought some fret wire a few months ago just off amazon before I had done much research into the subject, I have Dunlop accu-fret jumbo size. I am unsure whether I will still use thos...

@markbailey I am quickly weighing on the side of just starting one from scratch, I might give the fretting a go and see how I get on until I have the rest of the tools!

@seanf Welcome to the forum. Repairs are much harder than building from new, especially on cheap factory instruments. Often they use glue that can’t be taken apart so te whole thing breaks. Where are ...

Welcome Sean! £20 guitars are great for starting on but I highly recommend building from scratch - in some ways it is easier than repairing...and you'll learn so much. I am biased obviously ...

Hello All Just wanted to say hello from Surrey in the UK, I'm a newly inspired person from the content of this website / forum / Youtube channel (I have just finished watching the playlist 'Build Your...

@bpower Well, my house and garden are covered in them again. It will look great at Christmas though. ✨✨🎄🎄

Dancing flake. ✨✨✨✨

This time I’m using a mix of large silver flake and holographic micro flake (rainbow spectrum colours), mixed into clear basecoat. Yeah, this time I’m using a wet application, employing a gun with a 2...

OMG!

Posted by: @tv101 Will it be silver? @tv101 It will be silver, to start with. ✨✨✨✨ and then some colour. ✨✨✨✨✨✨🎸

@rocknroller912 I definitely won't be adjusting the neck angle then, that's away beyond my skill level. I'll not be attempting to remove the fretboard either. I think my first step is to adjust the t...

@robin My preference would be to cut away some wood from where the bottom of the head butts against the neck and move the whole thing up, but there is a lot of string height to take up. Changing the ...

@rocknroller912 You've preempted the questions I was going to ask you and I'd already taken this photo before I saw your post. The string height at the 12 fret is about 5mm and looks about 1.5mm reli...

@robin Can you post a photo of the banjo where the neck and body are joined. I’m thinking you might need to carve some wood from the neck to get it higher up and improve the action. Altering the neck ...

Looks great @tej 😉
