Milling and routing have a lot in common but there are differences. The main difference being that milling is performed on metals as a rule. They are usually consistent in their micro-structure. With routing, it's usually timber and there there are many inconsistencies. You have a grain to start with. Other inconsistencies like knots can cause difficulty too. Different cutters behave in different ways. Blunt cutters are dangerous. A good way of getting your hand in, as they say, is trial and error with a scrap pieces of timber the same as your workpiece. Also, rehearse your planned cut in your mind while observing where you may have difficulties getting around your workpiece. You'll avoid making too many scorch marks when you do the cut for real. It is good to have a variety of different clamping methods on hand too. Sometimes a clamping solution will foul your router's path around the template, especially where there are complex curves. In these cases, take care to support the workpiece securely against the forces that your router is going to subject it to and make a series of cuts, re-positioning and clamping where necessary.

My fault. The reason for this topic resurrection is just too daft for words... You had to be there.

Wink.

No, sorry. That would be this one.

I'd be interested to hear how you avoid removing any surface material from the fretboard now that you've got the radius on it. It's not just you going at it with abrasive paper is it?

The lowest common denominator between English, Yanklish and the rest of the world's use of our mother word is Simplified English (Hoorah!). The only good thing that I have to say about it is that I made a potty full of cash from writing the stuff for British Aerospace, Rolls Royce, Lucas Aerospace and the Rover 600 service manual conversion from the Honda Accord source text. I hate it with a passion! Commercials however, have a language ALL to themselves. It just galls me sometimes to hear it coming out of the mouths of kids and gullible adults as if it's part of the language somehow. There's far too much exposure to TV advertising. Now you can even pocket a means of exposing yourself (titter) to it wherever you go. Wondrous.

It's a lovely website thank you. I still don't get your earlier remark but never mind. Next!

Aha! So it'd have been a Pompadour. I didn't write "quiff" in case someone thought I meant queef. To save embarrassment among the less literate, here is the difference: Quiff Queef If you're in the Ukraine: квап This derailment comes courtesy of AIM - the Association of Idle Minds. As you were.

Glad I don't have any call to use their services then. I already dislike doing commerce on the Internet. I seldom indulge. This really puts me off though. Is Reverb the only site doing this? I do hope it is not going to become the norm.

See above.

...not just knees either.

I am sure it's English wot you rote but I don't understand a word of it, sorry. WTF is Dean?

Did you have a Duck's Ar5e at the time? Ah... Happy Days. Back when nobody questioned why a man entering his thirties should get away with passing himself off as a teen so he could hang around school girls and boys A LOT.

The smilie face endorsment I just gave you is not a true smile. It is a hysterical grimace born out of sheer terror (eek). When the penny dropped, I saw what you did there. Good one. Very wise.

Welcome Adam.

Welcome Dry. No need to apologise. Buffoonery is one of our staples here. Dry buffoonery is especially welcome. It goes down nicely like a fine dry cider on a Summer's day.

It probably makes corporate sense in some way that would not be immediately obvious. It puts me in mind of our local Toyota factory. They'd send whole cars to Sims metal yard for secure destruction. These would be development test cars and such. Although he was not allowed to get near them, my mate Jack was told by the yard supervisor that some of the cars had nothing wrong with them. Some had less than 10,000 miles on them and looked as new. They all got crushed.

Welcome to Basschat. What an impressive first post! Now that you've got that off your chest, what's your rig like? You can tell us all about it in the Introductions* section. *Shoulder born chips are optional.

I find the comments here are interesting because I have an Ashdown Toneman 300 with its fifteen inch cone sat on top of a Trace Elliot 18 inch extension cab. I have ONLY ever used this rig in practice at home. I have no tweeters and I use flats for the most part. I turn down the treble and boost the upper mids to get the sound (and feel) that I like best. Then I play to stereo tracks through two Carlsbro Marlin PA150s each with a 200W Celestion wedge. I do not honestly know how good (or bad) it would perform at gig volumes and in a decent space. In my small practice room/workshop it is barely ever above "idling speed" but it makes the tools shake in their hangers on the wall. I like it.

Is that an eighteen on top? Nice.

Nice save.

Welcome Franchement.

Welcome Javi.
