[/quote] I think these videos are an amazing illustration that if you have a router, basic hand tools, plenty of time/patience and a lot of talent, you can make fantastic instruments. I have a router but alas very little time (or talent ), but I'm still getting tempted to give it a go in my shed after I clear the current backlog of DIY amp/cab projects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It always amazes me how early the frets go in when making the neck. How do you decide when the right time to install them is? I think when I made my first guitar, the frets were the last thing I did before the final finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I don't think there is a specific time that everyone uses. I put them in when the neck is still square because I use a press which would be difficult once the neck has been carved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 For that PoV it makes sense. When I made my first guitar back in 1978 there was almost nothing that a general member of the public could use as reference. I pretty much made it up as I went along, and saw the frets as being like the rest of the metal fittings (bridge machine heads etc.) and therefore should go on after all the woodwork was done.

skelf Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 A short promo video featuring way to much of me but due to some superb editing from Colin I don't sound like to much of an idiot. The intention was to shoot a video that I was not really going to be in so I didn't really prepare anything regarding the talking so I made it up as I was going along which I am sure is fairly apparent. The music was composed, played and recorded by Colin using a Recurve 5 and a Krell 6 fretless. If you have not been over to Colin's site it is well worth a visit. Transcriptions on request and lessons all of which are free.
