@steveadams Good job and very brave to let someone else work your wood. I don’t like those European type mains plugs where the earth is an open terminal on the outside, alway fit a UK plug once the ye...

@steveadams. Another great job well done Steve. Good tip to use the offcuts to practice with first. I'll have to see if I can find myself a helping hand..... great double act. 😕🙏...

Hi Guys Here is part 8... I have a special guest this time...hope you enjoy... cheers Steve Attachment : PART 8.mp4

I enjoyed the session last night, especially the blues man from France (I think) with that “Rusty Man” song. 😎 Very entertaining. 🎸🎼🎵🎶 @tv101 did a good job to...

Much appreciated performances again tonight @tv101 I loved it!

Much appreciated performances again tonight @tv101 & @jamesbisset. Keep them coming. Cheers. Apologies to anyone else from here if I didn't recognize you. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

@jonhodgson I’ve a few tools from Crimson and have to agree they’re beautifully made. It’s trying to balance value vs quality, if I had the money I’d get everything from them 🙂

Most of my tools are from Crimson, and they all seem excellent. Some they buy in (like the hosco nut files) others they make themselves.The company is owned by a total tool-nut (his other business is ...

I get much of my tools from Guitars and Woods in Portugal and TLC guitar goods in the Netherlands, My fret puller and fret cutter are from G&W and pretty cheap . I believe I paid 32 euros for thes...

@rocknroller912 ok maybe I really lucked out then, I tried exactly that but the ends just weren’t strong enough and dented with each cut.

@tej I use ordinary end cut pliers from the local diy shop with the end filed or ground to make a flat. They work fine and cost £2. When I go back to work later I will take a photo. Before I got fret ...

Downside: they’ll *always* bill you the full VAT & Duty due on the package value. @tv101 …and there goes them being quite competitive!

@tv101 Thanks, they’re quite competitive to be fair but some things are clearly rebranded Hosco products which I’ve found cheaper elsewhere! Any idea where we stand ordering from there in terms of th...

Hi, so I’m looking a few last tools, I need fret nippers (the home grown ones I have are dreadful!) Nut/saddle files, a fretting hammer and fret pullers. I’m after recommandations based on your experi...

Then when routing, you have to work away quite a bit more material, so I take my time and use several passes before my routerbitss' bearing touches the template. Only then I go a few mm deeper and rep...

I will probably wait on a good deal/opportunity to buy a bandsaw. Until then , the jigsaw or a friends bandsaw will have to do. I am in no rush

Don't rush to buy something almost-good-enough now Soud advice. I now did a couple of builds with nothing more then a jigsaw and a router. I t works, it just takes longer. With the jigsaw, you just h...

Soud advice Grr I wish the edit function would work properly! I meant 'Sound advice' of course.

unfortunately top loading tele bridges are relatively rare (I haven't found one that also has individual saddles) so through stringing may be impossible to avoid. @jonhodgson This one is both, you ca...

f you were able to use a step drill you could drill the 8mm and 10mm at the same time and guarantee concentricity. @Robin I also thought of using stepdrills, and I have some of those laying around. T...
