now with a small chip too so I’ll need to reprofile the edge and wrap the headstock with something to protect while I carve the neck. I gave up caring about tear out and small dings and chips, caus...

@russ cheers, it’s good from that angle, on the left though it’s literally paper thin, now with a small chip too so I’ll need to reprofile the edge and wrap the headstock with something to protect whi...

Looks great to me @tej. 👍🙂 🙏🎸🎶🙂

Took it down a little thinner than planned, as the tape slipped and I didn’t notice until it was too late, thankfully didn’t go through the veneer but it was pretty close!!! Attachment : E3A3F4E6...

Front laminate done, no slipping during clamping so the truss rod slot is nicely aligned 🙂 Now to trim and thin it down, a lot!!!! Attachment : FF385C3E-05CB-406E-ABDD-4BC4CB1B4327.jpeg ...

@mattbeels will take a few more, tend to get carried away with the practical but so pictures take a back seat!

Lookin great, more pics please @tej!

Routed the truss rod slot on the front headstock veneer and glued it on. It’s really thick and I want it at about half a mm so I’ll surface route it to thickness on the neck angle jig when it’s dry. G...

looking good

The piercing saw worked a treat to clear the glue in the fret slots, no where near as much in as I’d thought which was good. Anyway, the fret board is on, irritatingly not perfectly aligned but we’re ...

@tej There's always a way.

@tej Try a junior hacksaw blade to clean out the fret slots, it worked for me. A normal hacksaw blade might fit if you sand the sides off the teeth.

@Tej You are on a roll! nice work!

It all looks very neat even the bit you said is a mistake @rocknroller912 thanks, did I say it was a mistake, they’re erm, internal tone voids to create a resonance cascade that will enhance the vibr...

@tej It all looks very neat even the bit you said is a mistake

@tej Plans are great but they often don’t survive first contact with the wood because it has a grain that sometimes takes you where you don’t want to be. There’s always the human factor of course but ...

@rocknroller912 A fair point, have to say though it’s frustrating where I have screwed up it’s meant things have become more interesting and made me try things I wasn’t planning to at this stage.

@tej A big part of being a maker is how well you can get out of your mistakes, and you are managing it very well so good job. Everyone makes mistakes, the trick is to hide them. I’ve been watching th...

@tej that is looking awesome ! good job

Slow progress with life getting in the way of late. Neck now profiled with the router and I’ve put the back veneer on. The front one needs to wait until I’ve levelled everything for the fretboard. I w...
