Re: Wow! Rulers Are Not the Same! Recommend An Accurate Straight-Edge?
You know, I've known this in the past but I forget it. So easy to just assume the tool does the job it's meant for. I'm in the same boat as Bob with things not quite fitting sometimes. The danger with measuring more consitently is that the only thing left to blame is my own sloppiness.

Re: Making fretboard inlay dots
I like watching other people explore simple ideas almost as much as I like doing it myself. Thanks!

Re: Oak Classical
Man, that guitar looks like a living thing. Awesome. I've got a ton of red oak milled up from some storm damage here. The most of it will be flooring for my shop, and a tiny house, but I'm holding back the clear QS stuff, and you've given me some inspiration. How does the unfilled oak feel? Any diff...

Hand cut or CNC? Going to be stunning either way.

Re: Getting back into building- tips?
Cool. I haven't played instruments from either builder. Can you perceive, if not a difference in quality, a general difference in tone?

Re: Body carve
That’s a nice slice there. Very satisfying.
Tangentially, your process reminded me of *something* I used to see on TV in the 70s. It’s just ringing a bell, especially the 4th photo. Maybe from PBS.
Huh... I’ll stay awake on that for a while tonight.

Re: New Build for Myself
I really dig your headstock logo. And the rest of the guitar looks really nice - colors, shapes, grain complement each other well.

Re: neck transplant
I like that head stock. Are the enclosed tuners traditional or something you came up with?
Did the donor get a new neck?
