nice one Simon, I agree ebony fingerboards are the biz. One of the rare PBG kits the ICA-7 I've almost finished has an ebony fingerboard and I love the deep colour of it
@ Ponch can't wait to see the Bunnings Caster, that should get you 5 x life in the Warehouse !

haha all good Ponch, if you follow some simple rules routers aren't too scary. Also best get some steel caps fitted to your 3 plugger thongs !

That would make two of us, three including my other half! After seeing your two scratchies, I am very tempted do defer the FrankenWashie while I try my hand at inlay work....Originally Posted by SIMpleONe89
Yes more scratch builds!
I spent a half hour tonight and scratch built a dust collector like yours from a $5 bucket and some assorted 40mm PVC fittings. Does that one count?
Nice work Simon 👍
Glad you nipped the ends off the tangs, it really does make the neck look and feel a lot better.
Also if the neck or finger board shrinks and the fret ends start to protrude it makes it a lot easier to file them back flush.
@Frankie, I will try and remember to do some measurements on the router box but you can make it any size you want... I will be making another one that is wider as I find this one can be a tad narrow for some jobs...
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Ponch, I dare you to............

Its all cool DB, I took stock of what projects I have and intend to build and hashed out some dimensions that suit those. I then disappeared into an alternate reality looking at ways of making the blocks adjustable via thumbwheels and threaded rod and it all got a bit silly.
