Thanks so much mate. Its more out of necessity that I use hand tools, but now having gotten used to them I find them very therapeutic, and have no inclination of changing anytime soon. I'm certainly no expert, and I don't have expensive tools, so if I can do it anybody can.

Very envious of the Japanese saw and rasp. A fine blade saw would have come in very hand for cutting the nut slot. To be honest I have never heard of a Japanese rasp. Are they also a "pull" tool?

@Gavin,
Thanks Gav, no mad skills, just lots of spare time and a rather masochistic mindset. lol.

Mate, each of your guitars are works of art, I would be happy to claim any of those as one of my DIY's.

Cheers guys,
