@markbailey. Good to see you back on the forum Mark. Hope all is well with you. 🎸🙂🎶🙏

Hello there @markbailey, how are you? I hope all is well on your end!

I’m gonna need more MDF! Yup @tej. Just like tools, we always need more!

I’m a bit worried about copy routing the pointy bits, any advice on avoiding tear out on those areas. You can 'Back Route' the corners to prevent break out: Route as normal until you are close to the...

@mattbeels 🙂 I’d just watched that in one of the videos too, I’m gonna need more MDF!

@cheesewhisk Looks great! I finished the body template for my less spiky bandsman. Looking forward to the finished article you create here! It looks like you’ve made a pattern from the pattern, was th...

Explorers are awesome. I like Firebirds and RD’s too but Explorers are just so James Hetfield for me. But my favorite has always been the Flying V. It’s just so... symmetrical and super badass. I also...

...also tear out depends on the grain at the pointy bits. Better to go with the grain rather than against I would think. I like the rd artist shape that’s a bit less pointy than an explorer but I gav...

as the double sided tape didn’t want to let go You could also consider screwing them onto the blank using screw positions that correspond to the pick up cut outs or control knob holes (if these haven...

I’m trying to fix the flaws on a kit guitar. One of the problems is that the bridge isn’t straight, the mount holes were just wrong but I wasn’t paying enough attention at the time. Current plan was t...

I'd use glue @tej. Then you'll know it will be strong enough and won't shift. 🙂🎸🎶🙏

Is there any need to glue towels in or just make them tight fitting for this kind of thing? Glue them in @tej 👍

@tej Dowels should be a tight fit, but they need flutes or grooves along the side or the glue will not be able to squeeze out and it will form a vacuum

@rocknroller921 this was partly why I was asking as it’d be home made it wouldn’t have any flutes unless I cut them in. I’ve tried a similar thing in the past where I’ve had to re-drill a filled hole ...

Might be the bridge out of position, or might be the neck pocket not cut correctly? @tv101 It’s a Tele copy, pretty sure it’s the bridge as it’s not parallel with the neck pickup which is parallel wi...

@tv101 thanks for the advice. Annoyingly none of the existing holes are reusable, they’re small too and I don’t have any small dowel. Pretty sure if I try to turn something that thin it’d just snap to...

@ Russ: I never heard of this band, but it sounds great, funky stuff!

This is My Favourite Song For This Moment..... great live band. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

Fanny were a great band @boo. Should have been much bigger. 🎸🙂🎶🙏
