Hi I am building a Tele Thinline and some how stuffed up the body thickness.Instead of 1 3/4 its ended up 1 1/2. with the cap.. I am tossing up now if to route the cavities right through the back and put another 1/4 in cap on the back..... Would the 1 1/2 in Body work ? thanks Greg

Thanks for the replies. Sounds as a locking tuner,they dont seem to do the best job. What is the quality of Wilkinson Tuners like compared to Gotoh etc. Any suggestions on what alternative tuners to use on a Strat . I am now considering making it a hardtail. Regards Greg

Hi, I have a "Triton" Sawtable (Made in Australia) with a Hitachi circular saw in it.The shaft on the saw is 1 inch. I can get it bored out for free but I am not too sure if its the way to go. I have been looking around for a small table saw but even a lot of them have a 1 inch spindle. Thanks

Hi, I have the Stewmac Frett slotting blade. Have any of you guys had the hole size drilled out to 1 inch. I was going to get mine altered at a engineering shop but I thought I would ask the question before I stuff it up. Also what kind of speed are these suppose to operate at. Thanks Greg

Thanks for your all your advice and replies. I suppose now I had better get started. Regards Greg

Thanks Mattia for your reply. I have a Stewmac hand saw,Scale rule and I made up a (timber) 90 deg mitre box but I kind of feel that I should have got the Stewmac box.

Hi, I was just curious (and after some ideas) of what type of manual jigs you guys use for slotting fretboards? I just picked up a handsaw and now want to make up some kind of jig or mitre box. TIA

Thanks Jem, It's amazing when you search or use the right "terminology" ... Cheers Greg

Hi, How fine ,or teeth (TPI) scroll saw blade would I need to use to cut MOP shell with a jewelers saw frame. Thanks

I have a Stewmac ooo kit, In it I recieved 2 pieces of white platic binding about 1/4 inch wide for the sides, 2 pieces of very very fine white and 1 piece of very very fine black for the top. I undestand how to route the edge etc and where they go,but how do I glue and fit the 3 fine ones together. Do they all get stuck together first,then installed into the routed chanel. Is there an easy way to do this ? TIA <I have tried to search the site but the search would not work for some reason>
