@steveadams Chalk fitting is a standard thing in instrument making schools that use hand tools but it’s not used so much with machine tools.

Great videos again @steveadams and you're entitled to be pleased with yourself with what you've achieved so far. These extra hands that magically appear to assist in aligning the drill is a great tric...

@russ Thanks so much..I think what comes across is how scared I am...ha ha.. Onwards... cheers Steve

@rocknroller912 Thanks for the feedback appreciate it...shame it's not TV quality as I am actually a TV director!! ha ha...I forgot the phone wasn't recording full HD Great tip with the chalk... chee...

@steveadams. Love it Steve. I wish I had the nerve......and the skill to do wee videos like that. The guitar is looking great and coming along very nicely. Other than watching Mark's great online co...

@steveadams I’ve watched the first video and it all looks good. The quality is fine, maybe not TV standard but you’re not selling a product so don’t worry about it. I did have trouble watching some of...

Hi Guys I have 2 new videos...I've decided to host them on youtube for ease of use as the file size limit on here is a bit tight... I've made them "invite only" which means they will play when you use...

@rocknroller912 yeah. It seems like a decent guitar. Some interesting decisions in the making of it.

@bpower ok I was a bit confused there. The Epihones were built to last

@rocknroller912 This guitar is not the one I'll be attempting to fix. I only posted the pics because I mentioned it above and thought it was cool/different with the neck attachment like an electric an...

@bpower Looks like a bad crack on the ribs under the neck joint. Factory made guitars can be a nightmare to take apart due to the type of glue used. The wood often splinters. I would try and inject s...

Finally got the chance to get down to our family cabin last night. As always, it finishes the night with a bon fire and music. It is always so fun. 5 acoustic guitars, a jambe with symbols, and we eve...

@darrenking I’m not familiar with Maccaferri is it a type of jazz guitar. I did notice the scale on your fret slotting template. I do have a high end Gypsy guitar with a zero fret made by Polark in I...

Posted by: @rocknroller912 Zero frets tend to be used on cheaper model factory production instruments How very dare you Rocknroller! But I will forgive the generalisation given that you mention gyps...

cool. thanks @rocknroller912. That makes sense. So you just get the one height going across depending on how tall the zero fret is. should be fun to see what comes of it and at least practice a few th...

@bpower Zero frets tend to be used on cheaper model factory production instruments as it takes away the need to set string height at the nut, so skilled workers are not needed for set up. I’ve repair...

@bpower I’m not sure, I think it’s all a pain in the arse to be honest. I don’t have a guitar with one installed and have never worked on one. I wouldn’t really want to but I will do at some point so ...

@boo That was exactly what I was wondering about the nut. This one appears to be really wallowed out so the strings are right on the zero fret. I wasn't sure if that was the way it was suppose to be. ...

I was making a start on clearing my attic out the other day, as I am moving house soon. I found an old acoustic guitar up there, very similar to this one of yours, no zero nut though. It’s literally c...
