I knew darren would come up with a fine design!How easy is it to get a couple of clamps onto it to fix it to the bench?

@tv1For me it's not just the tools, it's the loop I'd get into, finding that I could buy tool X if my compressor was just a little bit bigger...I'd st...

A compressor is a wonderful excuse to buy all sorts of other tools, including a venturi bagpress unit.Hopefully I can avoid getting one though, since ...

I rather like the idea of having some nice hand tools and taking my time carving a top.But if you want to get the job done quickly, and you don't mind...

One of the most surprisingly (to me) effective colours I've seen on mahogany was when Ben Crowe dyed the back of his cyberpunk guitar black. With an o...

drill bits for wood?These are lovely. Yes they're expensive, but I'm not sorry I spent the money.

Is that headstock intended to double as a heckler jabbing device or is it just to stop the singer cutting your solo short?(Both reasonable uses in my ...

@koendbIf you're familiar with Dave Kilminster, you'll know that if it was physically possible to play, he'll have done it (and most probably if it wa...

@mattbeelsYou say extreme, I say firm, but fair.22 Is forgivable on the basis that some people just want the tone of the pickup in that 24th fret posi...

@booI like to spread the love around

Interesting using the nails to pin it, the technique I've seen is to drill a hole through the fret slot (I can't remember the size) and use a toothpic...

What an odd person. I feel slightly cheated if I have fewer than 24 frets, 21 frets on a modern guitar should be a hanging offence in my opinion.I t...

Warmoth are the only people I know who do that.Suhr, Ibanez, Charvel, Steinberger, Vigier, you name it, 24 fret necks usually have neck up to the top ...

@darrenkingDamn! Now I'm going to have to buy one. 😐

@darrenkingComplete tangent here, but what's your opinion of that little Makita router?I already have larger routers, have wondered about getting a sm...

Having seen his neck pocket solution I'm just crossing my fingers that @darrenking is going to need to thin some body blanks at some point so we can a...

@booDo you mind? I resemble that remark!
