Mica Paris in fame the musical. Bloody awful show.

Thanks, I think thats more to do with the router bit ,then to do with me!!🤣🤣

I think I will go natural on both of these? Maybe with a bit of pop to the ash grain. At least painting I know I can do!! Cars anyway!!

Clue... Prejazzion Bass Got carried away with my felt tip!!

Anyone notice the deliberate mistake!🤣

Thanks for all the advise everyone👍 Thanks to you all I have managed a what I consider fairly proffessuonal cut and body route on my Ash Blank.

Good points and bad points..... So glad I decided to do a practise one..soooo. I still have all my fingers I am still pleased with it But had a bit of break out. My own fault the first one was the very first touch, didnt have the router going fast enough, second was where Ithink I may have made contact with the bit a bit to heavily . Still...got a feel for it and a bit of confidence. May have a go at the ash soon.

Geat pics thanks. I guess the only bit that was worrying me is the large horn. But with the dual bearing bit on the new 4 flute bit i guess I can just turn it upside down so I can still route right to left.

Lush, nice job.

Oh God!🤣🤮

Double post!

It is.👍😁

It is👍

So as i suspected it is not entirely possible to follow that map.

To be fair how close i am with the bandsaw i think it is going to be ok. Yes I shall be using a template. Also purchased a 4 flute bit today which are quite well regarded.

Its in a table. I dont understand the uphill down hill part either but, apparently if you start at the green stop at the red it reduces tear out. Feeding right to left would be against the rotation so its correct in that. The arrows are not for feeding direction. Just wbere to start and stop.

Can someone explain how this is possible?!?!? As younlook at it I will be feeding from right to left.

Ps Christine the Blades are great. Thanks cut that with a 6mm one.

The blades arrived so I thought I would have a go at changing it. I think I got there in the end. It just so happened a bit of cheap(has imperfections) black Limba turned up as well. So thought why not!😁👍 This is my test bed. Everytging I do will be done on this before I touch my Ash body. Everyone said get close to the lines. I think I have achieved that. Maybe a tad too close in places. But .....it still lools like a guitar, I still have my fingers so win win.

Thanks. I intend using a table for the router trim around the body which i guess means I need to run the wood round in the opposite direction as the router is upside down. Re the bandsaw blade. Would love to change it but am worried about how hard it will be. Its running nice at the moment and wouldnt want to mess that up but would like to start wirh a nice fresh blade. I wii do a search and see if thete is a guide.

🖕one 🤣🤣🤣

So I received some cash for my Birthday and decided I would buy myself an nice ash p bass body but with jazz routings. I looked thenm up and for a one piece it was going to cost £230.00. A lot of money but if thats what they are. So I contacted the firm to see if i could see a picture of the blank they would use ....they wouldnt do that until I had paid. So I declined as I have seen some lovely ash and some awful looking ash. A little dissapointed I decided to see if I could build one myself for similar money. So I purchased off of sphock a Bandsaw, pillar drill, router. £95.00 total Tempate kit £55.00 Bit of ash 38.00 total Router bit 22.00 I have no woodworking skill at all...what i do have in abundance is ...stupidity that this is going to be any good....who knows! If the body turns out ok I am goi g to have a go at a neck.
