So from a glace it doesn’t look like they will adjust in height after all. Just need to work out what the reality of that is. Given I’ve not started it’s tempting to keep for build 2 and just get a 12...

@jonhodgson Centre drills work for me, maybe I’m missing the point.

This is a spot drill Attachment : SpotDrill.jpg

@rocknroller912, those are centre drills, their job is really to create a countersunk hole for a lathe centre. What you're describing (functionally speaking) is a spot drill, they're what you're suppo...

I don’t know if people have seen these before, it’s what I use to make accurately positioned holes. It took me a while to find them so I’m a bit behind the discussion. They are mostly a metalwork bit ...

Or keep your eyes out for something s/h? @tv101 Do you know of any particular drills worth looking out for s/h? Would like to get hold of a bigger/better one for when I get more workshop space, somet...

@russ, so I tried it out on a scrap of pine with a 10mm Brad point, a couple of points right away. Firstly the guide doesn’t fit perfectly snug in the plastic holder. Secondly when it’s in there and y...

Centre drills work for me, maybe I’m missing the point. @rocknroller912 🤣🤣 Very good 👏👏👏👏👍

@rocknroller912 Working with wood, you're probably fine, especially as tolerances of 1/10th mm are probably plenty good enough. If you're trying to place accurate holes in metal, where aside from the ...

Hot Slags went into my first Bailey BYOG course build. @tv101 curiously that’s what I was planning to use for mine, so much more of the sound depends on what you plug it into it’s hard to get recomme...

I don't (often) tell the chef what salt to use. Fair enough @tv101...

Btw @tej I just noticed that bridge has a 14” radius, are you aware of that? I don’t know which radius you’re planning on your board but if it’s a 12 then a 14 will be a tad flat. It’s not a big deal...

@mattbeels irritatingly i didn’t consider the radius of the bridge despite ensuring the fretboard radius was what I wanted. I’d presumed that the saddle height on all bridges was adjustable. I’ll have...

Whilst the flake job on the Strat is curing, I painted the Bandsman. Here are a few pics. It’s a bit different. 🤘😆🤘🎸 Got it in pink and red pearl first. Attachment ...

Whilst this Strat is curing for a few days, I’m painting the Bandsman, see other thread. 👍
