Welcome! I used to live in LA. I miss the dry heat. Sounds like you have some skills already ;-) Will be looking forward to seeing your build!

I like the idea of doing it with a coping saw...it's just that in practice i don't seem to be very good at it. However, the part about the "scary"...

Hi and welcome Mobbins. So, what kit did you get? We encourage you to start a build diary to show your progress. Also, there have been a...

IMO having a bench hook is great tool for most hand sawing. Sometimes more convenient than using a vice. The fact that it can also work with guitar...

Thank you, sir! A little better today afteR putting some block oil on the neck. May put a little on the files to avoid rust. ;-) Sent from my...

The reviews I have seen of the Music Nomad files have been very positive. I liked this guy's reviews, but his tastes may be a bit idiosyncratic. The...

This is interesting on a couple of different levels. As usual I can't help but admire how nice your jigs look. My jigs tend to look indistinguishable...

The videos are a good comparison. I must admit that I have never considered cutting oil or oiling frets during the filing process. I have been good...

I thought it was slightly more defined and used as a description including those you named but with small block engines such as the 289 in the...

Just to be clear, the "fret" is the metal bar. So on a right-handed bass, your white arrow is pointed at the 11th fret. You don't measure from any of...

Perfect, I'll do it that way

Hello: I have a question: to see the distance from the nut, where on the 12th fret is it measured, at the top, in the middle, or at the end of the...

I have one diamond and one toothed and I had two necks to crown, so I thought I'd share my experience. Here's what I was using for the two necks:...

Toothed files

Welcome from another US member ;-)

FWIW, it's good to check the length to the 12th fret. It should be 15 inches on a "perfect" 30 inch scale bass neck... My old short scale bass was...

So it does travel ;-) Takes the name from the early Mustangs, but we still use if for small-ish muscle cars with a long hood, a short trunk and a...
