    Well home for a short while till monday so I thought I would test it out on a bit of Pine before I go for some pricey wood. Man Im very pleased with the results. Accurate and 3d mills a treat. Check out the precision of the pickup and neck pockets.

    That is amazing mate, really nice results. Nice clean cuts. Pine or not, that will be a pretty nice axe. Get ready for an order!

    Thanks gents, yes Wokks put a bit of Jarrah in to see how it copes with soft to hard wood and its flawless. Cuts are clean and no thicknesser required as I faced it down to size. Now to get some of DB's tone woods and see how a neck goes. Made it to a pitbull neck and the fit is a very precise light push fit. (perfect). Back in a couple of weeks Wokks so the AGM can take place at the mancave then. Work is really starting to get in the way of play time at the mo.

    That's a rough cut? Can I have your test runs? I couldn't do anything that neat in a lifetime.

    Looks pretty!
    My only concern is mixing hard and soft woods, but for a test play why not?

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
