Do you sell the kits you make?

If you wanna know what tools you can get from the likes of StewMac just visit my or DB's man-cave. We got 'em all - which is also why we live on bread and beans every day (and why I try and get banished to the naughty room where there is beer and pizza aplenty!)

your not wrong Gav. Between you and DB you guys must own 20% shares of Stewmac !
We did get served hot dogs at your man cave last visit !

Yeah! Sold one of their awful fret crowning tools after having previously acquired a better option, enabled the reckless purchase that weekend of Hot-Dogs.....

Yeah sm is turning into a fetish site for me. Unfortunately while I have a small budget, sm gear just can't be on the radar just yet. No idea how much having a kid costs so trying to put as much away as possible. Bad news though. Building a work bench today and my jigsaw went pop. Yay.

Question time though. Half inch shank bits are universally better than quarter right. Looking through carbatech and a few others and all the bits I need are all 1/4 though. Does the bits for the pup cavaties and neck matter if it's a smaller shank. I found a half inch shank 1.5" long flush cutter for bodies though.

hey Andrew, 1/4" shaft is fine, just try and match the router to be 1/4" collet

Naa they're not that much, just be prepared to fork out continuously in ever increasing amounts for (at least) the next 18 years of your life...

After having a look at suitable drill press' I can't seem to stretch the budget that far for the next while. Some people have said they use drill guides to good result. What do you guys think?

[dingobass]

Drill guides are good

Grab a chunk of hardwood or steel (for that matter even aluminium square stock will work), you can use your baby drill press to bore the holes and then away ya go!
