How did you do the compound?Bg wrote:Busy weekend, had curries to make and work to do.... however, routed the first neck blank for truss rod and glued the fretboard on. trussrod access is at the body end as I'm using the low profile double action stewmac rods.
Fretboard is now radiused (compound) and slotted. Oh and most of the markers are drilled.... quite chuffed with progress considering I had much other stuff to do.

Re: Kwila neck build
Ah... That's not what I expected. I was picturing something like I saw MusicMan do where they'd 'swing' the neck off two different length arms so one was passing through a larger arc than the other. The swinging motion passed the fretboard over a sanding belt. Guess it all amounts to the same thing.Bg wrote:just like this .Molly wrote:How did you do the compound?Bg wrote:Busy weekend, had curries to make and work to do.... however, routed the first neck blank for truss rod and glued the fretboard on. trussrod access is at the body end as I'm using the low profile double action stewmac rods.

With compound boards I can never picture if the crown is decreasing over the length of the board or the sides are coming up. I guess it's the former? It just makes me wonder how you dress a board where the frets are placed lower at the crown as it gets closer to the body.
Edit: I guess that wouldn't matter now I think about it. It's the opposite that'd be an issue.

Re: Kwila neck build
ah not much progress this week, though its now slotted and has dotmarkers. I'm not a fan of maple so I'm going to stain black, have been experimenting today. Won't be solid black, more a transparent with grain showing through. The markers are the aluminum pipe, filled with epoxy mixed with black stain. The next neck I might keep maple but do with brass pipe and paua.
Tomorrow I need to get tru-oil. My last batch has dried up

He is. While I like to think I am reasonably skilled in the kitchen, BG is definitely a level up from me.olegmcnoleg wrote:YUMMM! BG is an excellent chef.Bg wrote:Caribbean Chicken Curry with Rice and Peas and Piklez.Olderama wrote: Never mind that bollocks

Re: Kwila neck build
have you got any linseed oil and thinners? ... try adding a little bit of both to the tru oil to try and reactivate it (might need to heat it a little as well)Bg wrote:
