I agree. The finish was going on fairly smooth with the brush but it was effectively bunching up as it cured. I think that's down to the thick formulation, but it's that which allowed me to paint it on and have it stay.

You are too kind sir. I'm sure it's %25 me %25 bad carving/prep %25 the formulation I'm using. And the rest the fact it's epoxy.

Ruined it

Queued a few vids to watch later

I was unaware of this technique

Thanks. Are you in the amateur luthier group? I think ive seen you comment on there before but wasnt sure it was the same person? A D Finlayson is on there too. Interesting. I did wonder if there was a way to reinvigorate files. My workshop is fairly damp and next to the sea so rust is a constant issue. I've seriously considered having baths of oil to keep tools in. I don't know if any old acid would do but i have a bottle of hydrochloric somewhere. I would have thought acid would cause rust though?

She says thanks

Haha.. yeah.. this is very much a do things, then realised I know the propper way do do things later kind of operation . I did think you can possibly do this with some clamps but I didn't investigate. Because I'm silly.. lol. I've found, since routing the pickup cavities my neck is a bit too loose again as it was clearly not square. I'll get another chance to investigate the clamps then. Im definitely feeling with this build I know the propper way to do things but I'm often doing it a much more dodgy way as I don't have the time or the right piece of material etc. I'm looking forward to putting what I've learned in to the next one.

Well... This one was pretty sketchy
-
Yes to be honest I would like to try smaller more vintage wire, and I think I'd definitely be inclined to buy in bulk but my workshop is very salty and humid (next to the sea. It's a constant battle to stop things rusting up. I'm not sure I'd manage to keep fret wire pristine for any length of time unless I submerged it in oil.
-
Yeah. I don't see any radius specification for hosco. Did you have a specific manufacturer in mind?
-
-
Thank You both. Very kind as always. Yeah I was a bit paranoid about the inlay becoming dethatched so i was keen to seat it deep in the fretboard. I forgot to key it for adhesion too. To be honest filing through the inlay at the end took no time at all, quite pleasurable.
-
That took way too frigging long.... like everything else
-
Awh stop you are making me blush
-
-
Aww, thanks mate. Yeah I definitely considered a fence and templates. Frankly I just knew it would end up a massively over complex time hole when I'm taking so long as it is. I think inlaying like this would be better if done pre radius. Or I could have perhaps took my time with hand tools. What I should have done really was construct the whole thing in plastic then inlay it one fret segment as a time I reckon.
-
Latest vid. I definitely made some bad choices here... but I'm employing the ol squinting and tellng myself its fine technique.

haha.. love this.. deffo carved by a man
