@nsj Very nice Neil. Did you draw it out by hand. Very neat lines and curves. I'm trying to do some designs but I'm using compasses and french curves. My freehand drawing skills are not the best.

Ok I think I have decided what I'm building next, prs body style with carve, 24 fret neck with 6 inline tuners and a gotoh floyd rose and it'll be a neck through! All Brazillian mahogany with ebony bo...

Ah I dont hve the circular cutter yet, but the router parts are on order, I am making my own as designed by Paul Sellers 🙂 Speed is not always needed, I can buy perfectly squared wood, but planing and...

Nice work on the build @Clinton, I need to find out how to open the vids in youtube though, I just can't get them to play nicely on the site for some reason.

@russ I've got a grany tooth plane, just need the blades lol

Hi @koendb Get yourself a handheld circle cutter and a grannies tooth plane. Great fun but 100 times slower than your Dremel. 🤣 Attachment : Screenshot_20230115-130719.png Attachmen...

@tv101 Yes the CnC is so cool. I use it now to make templates. Huge time saver and super accurate especially if you have the proper router bits which I really need. Also CAD designing gets me back int...

@russ Don't get me wrong, I do use power tools too, I just think it is great to develop the skills to not be dependent on them to finish a task. Also, it is nice to be able to do some work in silence,...

The Godfather of Guitars! I feel I may go all natural no stain on this. Beautiful! I would keep it natural, no stain.

@clinton Great work I would leave it natural

I was so involved in this build that I did not really document unfortunately. Did not want to stray my focus away.

@tv101 Yes it's the Bagpress fret slotting jig.. 👍👍

@koendb No, only use the frame saw for cutting bookmatching tops and bottoms. Primarily for acoustics but with several kerfing plane sizes that I built I now can cut from 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thi...

You're a brave man @koendb.........or maybe just a very patient man. I'm using mostly hand tools for my current build but I have used a router for the rosette channel and I think I would have been at ...

@clinton I love your work and methods! Did you ever try to use that frame saw to cut a scarf joint? I am thinking about buying one, but its so big, that I need to justify its usability 🙂 I guess havin...

@dave You'll see often that only one side is planed as a reference to which you have to plane the other sides plum and straight. So make sure that all surfaces are straight to begin with , but the bot...

I use a handplane to sort the edges of the board, need one good side then work from it. Centre doesn't have to be exact centre of the board as there's usually room to have the fretboard off to one sid...

Another great build @clinton , it looks stunning.
