Hi Floody, the forum has decided to charge you and Andrew all the costs of hosting, seeing that you both spend so much time chatting with each other.
Less chat more building chop, chop.

I just worked on mine. I tapered the neck, routed neck pocket, hogged out the pup cavitys wit the forstners and umm...thats it....My missus took our new camera down the coast wit her but so no pics til she gets back..Dont worry, they'll be posted in my thread not yours!!!! HIJACK!!!

hmmm i dont know where i put my carbatec catologue, but while i was there i was looking at the router bit cabinets....
youmay want to give them a call or look at their catologue if you have one and see if they have smaller bearing bits.... im sure i read that they do...

its the new year... everyyones been forced to do family crap i guess.... ahahaha

hmmm im going to have to go cut my neck taper, rout the neck pocket, hog out pup and control cavities with forstner bits, rout the cavity an pup routs, and set the neck and beat you

im going to cut down the heel a bit and see if i can feel a difference (strength wise) of a short and long set tennon

this one obviously wont be carved quite as much as the last... but i will do a bit of carving

You'd better send those copies to me Floody ... he still hasn't sent me the last batch you did.

And talking of DVDs I bought a spool of 100 verbatims and my burner won't recognise them?!?! What's going on there?!?

thanks man

And you do have Dadyos copies..I havent got enought to do more...

i had a feeling i had them.. lol

I gotta work out a better way of clamping scarf joints..Mine slipped a little last time..

me too man....
my pin method works... but you still get a lil tiny bit of slippage from the pins and wood grain aroung the hole flexing...

i think i will make up a jig, i will have a think about i and see what i come up with...

actually i did do a maple one diferently, i used my marble table top and clamped it on its side, one clamp infront of th headstock and one behind so it wouldnt slip....
massive pain in the ass though....

i think i can comeup wih aneat jig, ill do that now
