    you're right Stan, took me an hour to adjust this little Band saw. Had to watch a Youtube vid on how to do it. I could probably get a little more out of it as the saw blade is still a little bendy.

    Lots of work in this headstock. I need to wait till the tuners turn up. I bought a couple of sets, so if I have to I can take em appart and turn 12 into 6. I wanted chrome buttons, but also need long tuner shafts, so need to improvise a little

    I'l try and find time to head off to the Wyndham Mens shed to cut out and thickness the body blank
    They have a bigger band saw. I'll be telling them no closer than 3mm to the salvage side of the lines.
    I'll get it planed down to 36-37 mm.
    the original was 35mm But I firmly believe that is too thin and sacrafices too much body tone, to achieve a thin-line body.

    Cheers PK
