  1. I was more concerned whether it was something I should consider at all? As far as I can tell the neck heel is parallel with the fingerboard and the neck pocket with the top of the body. You can tell I'm making this up can't you 😉
  2. Little napkin holder for alfresco dining. Cherry with beech dowels.
  3. Me again.... do I need to consider any break angle on the neck pocket?
  4. More things.... don't forget y'all that this isn't a thread just for me, post your own joinery in here 😉
  5. But how long is the insert!??! Do you go all the way to the underside of the fretboard?
  6. Yes, but how much into the neck heel do they go? In my head, a half to two thirds seems reasonable, but I don't know.
  7. How far into the neck do you insert fellas put the insert? Half way, two thirds?
  8. Does it need pickup holes? You could come from the back like @Andyjr1515did with the Psillyos...

    Nope, it should all be made out of one piece of wood, nut, strap buttons, frets, everything.
  10. It's barsteward heavy and unwieldy is what it is. What's a blum hinge?
  11. Those of you with functional long term memory will recall the making of a new bench leg with vice. Due to the final expiration of our nearly 50 year old central heating over the summer and a move to gas rather than oil, just in time for a certain swivel eyed loony to invade his neighbour and punt the gas price up, which meant the removal of the 5000 litre oil tank. Which in turn means that I have an extra 8.5 sqm of workshop space! Joy! So here is wot I hav bin doing. Pulled the old bench apart and used the "good" leg from it as a part of the new frame. Cut the old top down from 1m x 2m to a more sensible 800mm x 1500mm and put the edging back on. Piled stuff on it. Before fitting the vice and bench drill. The old drill bench was an office desk kindly "donated" by my father in law and bowed dramatically with the weight of the drill. Let's see this one do that! Then because I want a bench on which to make projects firewood, I scoured the interwebz and found this design by Rex Krueger (https://youtu.be/zcq1LQq08lk). Before anyone points out that Rex's bench has two braces underneath, I know, I ran out of timber. I also need to decide where the dog holes need to go and whether I can reuse the old vice chop.
  12. I felt Brockington College by Leicester was reasonably convenient for most attendees.

    Aah yes, Psillyos. How to hide everything except the strings in a bass the shape of Snoopys nose 😉
  14. The neck becomes the stave and you can use the truss rod as an arrow?

    Shouldn't it be made from flamed or roasted maple? I'll get me coat....
  16. Nick the tuner area design from Status and have two buttons
  17. On the back, directly behind the A saddle?
  18. Does it go un-milky over time or once it's gone it's start again time?
  19. I was going to suggest what about getting the Tom Petersen (spelling?) signature model from Gretsch as it's still in production. Then I looked and at $13000 I can see why not!
  20. They're my favourite too. It looks like a Cafe Creme Merci!
