    LGM, as always, I'm so impressed with your artistic ability. I strive to be as good as craftsmen such as yourself. I also would like to know YOUR technique on engraving. Do you use the standard graving tools or do you have a different way to aproach these details? Just beautiful bud, Dave->

    It is actually very strong and it has "gap filling" properties. The only thing I don't like about it is that as it cures, it foams up(part of the gap filling properties ) and is kind of sloppy. It is an excellent glue nevertheless. Dave->

    No problem at all, I just call it like I see it. Squeaky gears always get the grease

    Yes, I have also used the blue vinyl(not paper) tape also and it works great as it leave a perfect line. Not sure if your near a "NAPA" auto parts store but they carry it. Dave->

    You could always fill it with epoxy and let it COMPLETELY dry and re-cut if you didn't want to change the nut(or use heavier strings). Dave->

    Sorry about the mishap, but yeah, I hear ya! Dave->

    I also think that is an excellent idea as well. I think the whole idea of having to have a certain number of posts(the higher, the better) before having the priviledge to vote may seem harsh to newcomers(which I still consider myself at 70 posts) but I think once they have been here for a while they will completely understand as I do. Just my 2 cents worth..... Dave->

    Thanks for link! Anyone else? Thanks, Dave->

    Hey there, I'm interested in your thoughts on finishing polished brass with a clear coating. So far, I'm finding that automotive clear lacquer(sp?) is the best. I'd like to hear what you guys use if you've ever done something like this. Thanks! Dave->
  24. budman68
    Yes your right, I misunderstood.......... Dave->

    If you used the method I suggested, you wouldn't have to paint the headstock or use a piece of veneer since you could do the scarf joint like Jackson/Charvel guitars and put the joint way back towards the body starting around the 2nd fret. This way you could use a solid piece for the headstock and just make it wider than your neck material and sculpt it after it's glued. I would probably just glue the ears(or ear) and add an overlay/veneer to the top. I think it just depends on what you would rather "see". I hope this made sense for you..... Dave->
