Hey erik, do you have any trouble with the dust collection shocking the living crap out of you?

(I do... I'm just using a shop vac though.)

[Edit: Ah, but now I see you have foil tape wrapped around the tubing and presumably grounded.]

I have a Jet 16/32 and really love it. Does what it's supposed to do, does it well, and no problems at all.

I like it!

Completely personal preference, but if it were mine, I'd make the very slightly convex curve along the bottom of your logo, even less convex or maybe even flat or slightly concave.

Welcome!

Each pic, after it's uploaded to Photobucket, will have a box below it that starts with IMG (surrounded by square brackets)

Copy the text in that box

Start a post here and paste the text into it

Voila!

Edit: Here's what your pic will look like once it's at Photobucket... The last text box at the bottom is what you'll want to copy from there and paste here (by left-clicking the box which will highlight it, then right-clicking and selecting Copy).

Pics!

I do use the tone control on my guitars, but I don't fiddle with it much (or at all, usually) once it's set where I want it.

I use 2-way rods... Started with Stew-Mac's Hot Rod and now use Allied's (they're lower profile).

Route a simple flat-bottom channel, pop it in, and done. (Well, that's simplifying it, but it's almost that easy.)

Oh, I get it now. Thanks.

Go for it if that's what you want to do.

I can't quite get a picture in my head of the sled you're describing. If you could post a pic I'd be very interested to see it.

Personally, I don't believe it makes a huge difference. But I don't have any guitars that are identical except for the fretboard wood, so I can't say that with any certainty.

Cocobolo:

I think the new headstock design looks tons better.

Looks nice. If it were mine, I'd probably curl the treble side horn a little less, and refine the headstock shape.

That mahogany is amazing, Quarter!

Just snagged a nice piece of 5/4 spalted maple.

Oooh, how did I miss that one? Love that shape.

Well, my experience is that a circle is the easiest thing to inlay, but you probably don't want a big circle there on the back of your guitar.

Maybe just a square or rectangle...?

As always, there were several that I really liked and could easily have voted for.

Low end fuzz's bass got my vote this time around. Very nice!

Stumbled upon this and found it really interesting. Holy cow, check out the band saw at about 16:00!

I'd love to try a 12" if the price shakes out at around $40.

No problem, just having a little fun.

What was that bit about 680mm though?

Allow me to translate! (I speak drunkish, albeit with an American accent.)

"Right! Use a water heater tank--tape some sandpaper to it, sand away, and you'll have your radius sanding block."
