    And today's lesson is that measuring twice before cutting once isn't that satisfactory if you calculated once and got it wrong...
    Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
    Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
    Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
    Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
    Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
    Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
    Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
    Build #8, Acousticish Telecasterish Guitar

    One of our car club mob owns a water cutting business and another got him to make a flex plate ( flywheel for an auto gearbox ) and gave him the measurement in Cm and the guy read it in inches.

    It was bloody huge, looked like a wagon wheel
