Sound like @darrenking has it covered.. I usually get mine from here, especially the pinstripes for 9 piece necks.

@peebee Spot on with your last comment I think that's the way round for the future. I have a PRS custom 22 fret template that I have had to shim the neck sides with .35mm cuts. I cut a slice from the ...

I had a quick play with it today and I think it’s about .35mm out each side. I had ago at veneers off the bandsaw and without trying too hard got a couple at .58mm. So should be able to glue something...

@rocknroller. Thanks for the reply, the template for the pocket is tapered and long so should fit somewhere along it’s length. I positioned and repositioned to make sure it was right.....but still the...

If making something thats going to fit into a hole, cut it with the line still visible (ie marginally over-size, potentially). If making something that’s going to be fitted into, cut it with the line ...

funky looking ply soon Hi Eddie, I'm not sure which ply you mean. Could you give some more details of what you need? Darren

@tv, could be. I made the neck pocket template quite long. I then put the neck in position and the fit the neck pocket jig over the top and slid it back along the body until it was tight against the n...

Edit - didn't round over the edges as much

Thanks Boo and well spotted. When creating my first body template I just copied my Kramer 120 (early 90's Korean model) and changed the neck heel, belly carve, and did round over the edges as much. (I...

I need to make some better neck & neck pocket templates and there's still room for improvement on the finish but overall I'm really pleased how this turned out (think I just about covered up the r...

My favourite song today, again from a Dutch band. Sadly singer/songwriter Hans Vermeulen passed away three years ago at the age of 70.

But don't worry when they all get kidnapped in episode 1, and taken to the cell. Kidnappers failed in kidnapping 101 and didn't search the dog properly, so they all escaped using the sonic screwdrive...

@keondb If you need to make a curved slot try making a curved scraper to match a curved bottom nut then scrape it front to back.

Do you check the nut to see if it’s flat, a lot of new ones are not. After your comment , I did check and the nut is flat ( Graphtec nubone nut )

Use that carefully and the bottom of the nut slot should be flat ordered the 1/8" one straight away! thanks @tv101

Coming along very nicely @koendb. 🙏🎶🙂🎸
