[keloooe]

WHOOPS!!!! At least your signature is true!!!

"Whoops" wasn't one of the many words uttered at the time.... but it sums it up perfectly

[keloooe]

And DB, where's my custom LP?????
Check your emails as well DB, there's a special Wudtone mix for you that I am typing very shortly

[wokkaboy]

well done DB on the fix, looks the same as I saw the fingerboard lastnight, there's always a work around !
I bet a few loud word were muttered in the DB man cave when the chunk of ebony went flying !

Now that drama is sorted out, time to cut the nut slot.
I clamp my trusty neck caul to give me a square edge- all these years and I still cant cut straight 8O ..


Set the depth gauge on fret saw.


Cut the slot!

[dingobass]

Now for the fun bit! Sharp chisel and a mallet 8-)


After giving it a few taps, the waste comes out easily leaving a groove with a messy bottom..


The way to fix this is to attack it with a 1/4" nut slotting file

[dingobass]

After some careful work with the file, checking that the slot is square the slot is done!



Bone nut blank fits like a dream

Now all that is left to do for now is do the final shaping on the bobbin sander...



Here she is to date, with a special guest build
