Posted by: @wayne_f I’m not sure when or how this happened but I just now noticed it (after applying 3 coats of finish). The truss rod somehow slipped about a half-inch toward the headstock. Obviously now it’s going to be… Read more»

Posted by: @wayne_f Shimming would probably be the best solution, right? @wayne_f Yeah, glue a veneer of equal thickness on each side of the neck heal. When dry, test fit the neck to see if you have glued enough veneer… Read more»

@wayne_f Shimming would probably be the best solution, right? I think we’ve all done that, the neck can be a good tight fit in the routing template but the pocket ends up bigger. Take a shaving off an offcut with… Read more»

@wayne_f glad you sorted the fret problem, I was looking at making a fret bender so clearly something to keep in mind. It’s looking really clean though, good work!

@wayne_f Good video thanks for sharing it with us. I’ve had that fret problem in the past where it goes down on one side. Could it be that the barbed part it too wide for the slot perhaps. I got… Read more»

Perhaps pull it out and try again? I had already pulled it out once before taking that picture. @wayne_f Ahhhhh….. Yes, pull it out carefully and clean the slot again. I would perhaps cut another fret instead of using the… Read more»

Then I attempted to start putting the frets in. I couldn’t even get the first one to go in all the way. The slots were filed before the attempt but that didn’t seem to help enough. @wayne_f Did you clean… Read more»

Oh wow that’s a lot of work you’ve got done @wayne_f it’s all looking great. I agree with you on the neck being the most hard work, like Mark says, it’ll keep you warm. I found the neck the most… Read more»

Robin replied to the topic "Jigs, patterns, and lines on paper" – 3 years, 6 months ago
@wayne_f I would agree with @tej there, it looks like the ends are in, so the slot must be deep enough. I’m assuming that you’re hammering them in and not pressing them. If you’re hammering while supporting on these blocks… Read more»

@wayne_f it’s hard to tell from the picture but it looks like the ends are in just the middle that’s proud?

Well, “hardest” meaning the most strenuous. I know there are still plenty of opportunities to screw it up haha.
@wayne_f Yes, I totally agree on both counts.
