Wow, very nice Jehle! It already looks like a classic(that's a good thing!) . I'm very impressed, with your work as usual.

Dave->

What a gorgeous color! Would love to see that when it's done. Nice work!

Dave->

Hey a fellow Pa.'er! Who makes these calipers?

Thanks,

Dave->

Wow, Newc, you really were bored . But lets face it, your creativity and inventiveness(sp?) is great and could be beneficial to us all! Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see this graphic.

Dave->

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->

Thanks!!

Dave->

Agreed! Don't forget the respirator no matter how insignificant it seems! The pearl will not break down in your system.......

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

Welcome Tim! Good to see another JCFer here!!

Also good luck in the contest!!

Dave->

Just wanted to be the first to say congratulations to rhoads for winning the GOTM contest. Maybe now you can quit crying ok?

Dave->

May I ask where you got the wood?

Thanks,

Dave->

Wow, I love the quilt pattern on that!!

Very nice job!

Dave->

Is it just me or can anyone else get the pics?

Dave->

Very nice setup Derek!

Dave->

36 and going and going and going.........well you get the idea

Dave->

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to GEdwardJones,

Happy birthday to you!

Have agreat one!

Dave->

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->

Too bad my memory cells aren't quite what they used to be  !

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->

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.....
