Nice neat fit @boo. 🙏🎸🎶🙂

OK, enough is enough, I’ve finally glued the neck in. I’ll go and work on another project whilst the glue dries. Attachment : BCEEAA2E-9166-48EF-BAFB-2CC0B612E448.jpeg Attachment : 8A4B0B1...

I'll have to send you a body too @tv101 Yeah sure, just decide on colours etc.

Hey @robin, at least 4 times seriously...and then had to psyche mysef up..ha ha @rocknroller912 It may look pro with the templates...but stil v amateur...I'll do a little show and tell video with the ...

@steveadams The crew you’re describing to manage the dust extractor sounds like a BBC production team, and you didn’t even mention the Health & Safety experts.

Love it, the videos are great @steveadams

so I can annoy bats with my solos. @jonhodgson Bats as well now? 😳 🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆

Sounds reasonable but in this instance I was following the course in number and type of clamps. I’ll bear it in mind next time. It seems to have worked out reasonably well for a first attempt but room...

I don't think I found the nail hole on the 10th fret when I lowered the fretboard onto the neck. I think you've hit the nail on the head there @cheesewhisk, if the pins are located then it just can't...

In all honesty I think the amount of glue was fine and the clamping pressure was firm but not wood crushing @mattbeels, I don't know maybe you can tell from the squeeze out on that photo. I genuinely ...

Can't add much to what the guys above said re glue amount and clamping pressure but what works for me is leaving the fretboard slightly oversize when gluing (with centre lines on neck and board as a r...

So can the hundreds of us, currently refining our semi-hollowbody designs in anticipation of you-know-what, expect this excellent design to be adaptable to a 335 style neck tenon joint? Attachment ...

What a great idea @darrenking

so I can annoy bats with my solos. LOL

I stressed about it for a couple of days but resolved to the fact I never play those frets anyway What an odd person. I feel slightly cheated if I have fewer than 24 frets, 21 frets on a modern guita...

The fretboard is hanging over by 1-2mm on the bass side after about the 14th fret. I stressed about it for a couple of days but resolved to the fact I never play those frets anyway 🙂

Ah not too horrific, only glued the neck but the cork fell apart when I tried to wipe it away so I just left it on. There’s enough meat on the neck to remove it later Attachment : 8F0A7765-5925-4...

Squeeze out for days. Or maybe you clamped the living shit out of it? If so then don’t do that either as you’ll squeeze out too much glue causing a starved joint. Not good.

Squeeze out for days. That means you used too much glue @cheesewhisk and that’s possibly why your fretboard got off center, it was too slippery. Practice glueing up some scrap boards aiming for a ni...
