@boo I think that’s a pretty sound method it looks a good repair. Thanks for sharing.

Looks good how did you make the patch @rocknroller912 I used a chunk of the off cut from the guitar blank. It’s 40mm thick so I drew the dimensions out on the wood and cut that much off. I then measu...

Good job @boo, you’ve been busy today!

@boo Looks good how did you make the patch

Made a patch to repair the top of this Strat too today. Attachment : 5ECA6FA9-1563-4EB0-BE44-D84E14135FDD.jpeg Attachment : 75E6DDB0-2AB7-44CF-AAA1-82495E3EF6E6.jpeg Attachment : D2...

Make a pair of somethings so that once the dimensions of one part have been set, it's easy to use that to create the dimensions of the second part The difficulty is in machining the repair block by h...

@tv101 @koendb I wouldn’t call it a correction your point of view is just as valid as mine and I think you are better qualified in electronics than me. In factory guitars it’s probably just cost. 70s ...

I was thinking about this only today, is shielding paint necessary/ advised? None of my factory guitars have any shielding, except on the pickguards.None of my partscasters or kit guitars have any s...

@rocknroller912 I would love to do that sometimes.

@koendb Its hard to chat on the web without getting comments and people mixed up, maybe we should organise a zoom meeting or something.

I wouldn’t call it a correction your point of view is just as valid as mine Oh @rocknroller912, my comment was not meant as a correction to any other opinion either! I think you are 100% correct abou...

@russ If you’re doing repairs and refitting old parts that need to be shimmed then Imperial would be needed, but if you are only doing new builds them all parts can be sourced from European suppliers ...

@Russ - I needed to get a 1/2" bit once when I was using imperial sized bridge posts Cheers @tv101. I thought that there may be some hardware from America that could be made with Imperial measurement...

@lemonshoes If you’re taking out the full membership then Mark will keep you right about the correct steps. It’s worth it not to waste any materials.

@lemonshoes the last time I did it I did the fretboard as is and cut the slots and basic radius. Put onto the neck taper template and cut the shape. Then while on use a router bit to cut the same temp...

@lemonshoes Its not the way I would do it, but you should get some more opinions on here before starting. There are some very experienced builders on here who use power tools a lot and I mostly use ha...

Sorry if I was a bit unclear about that. The fretboard would be on the neck when I route the channel. The neck would still be flat on the sides, i.e., not carved yet. So the side of the neck would be...

there is bound to be a video on the site somewhere @rocknroller912 Good one mate 😉

@rocknroller912 Indeed, I used a pilar drill only for the initial holes. But I indeed scored the initial contours of the holes manually ( turning the drill head manually, once I got the brad points ex...

Shouldn’t imagine an edit button 🤣
