    Frets! At least on the first neck... I realised the stair steps I'm reclaiming for the bodys are just wide enough for a Kidsmachine - pretty awesome! Some of them are made from two pieces of wood and I found one stair step where the glue joint is only ~1cm out of center. Two body blanks...

    Exactly! At least some progress here... all Fretboards are glued on, trimmed flush with the neck, side dots are in place (good old 2mm aluminum "bonsai wire") and the radius (12") is also sanded in.

    @Deegatron: those fretboard are made from Wenge. Same batch as the neck... This looks quite nice normaly.

    This Build Tread will need some time till finish.... I have like 1-2 hours to spare on every second or third day... progress will be pretty slow - but at least there is some. Managed to trim the headstock veneers flush to the headstock, rasp in the truss rod access, dry fit the Tuners...

    @All: thanks, interesting discussion! I think I'll let him choose and try to convince him to use a right handed one. Talked to guitar teacher with 20+ years of experience and he said about the same... well I'm builiding both anyway. Made some progress on the necks and headstocks btw:

    Managed to glue on headstock extension for two right handed guitars.... :scratch: ....my son needs a left handed one. I wasn't feeling like correcting this and made a third neck instead. I may have a guitar to spare soon. The neck blank is thick enough for another two necks - at least. Oh and...

    I'm just back from your build blog and I'm jealous. Awesome builds! I'm only on flickr and not posting much there...

    @BlackMastodon: Thanks man! I finished my last build ~6 Years ago. We'll see how these turn out... @electriceye: you are right and it's quite brittle to. Routing Wenge is a nightmare also. Made a little progress and roughed out the first two neck blanks. If anybody wondered why the blank was so...

    @dmlinger: this is the epoxy used to laminate the neck -> https://shop1.r-g.de/en/art/100110 I would not try this with water based wood glue, to much moisture and "open time" for wood glue is somewhere between 5-10 minutes before it starts to cure. It took me ~30minutes to apply the epoxy (on 16...

    Here we go again... my Kids are 8 and 5 Years by now and my doughter is in serious need of a Guitar, but well - it wouldn't be fair to build only one... Specs so far: Body: some sort of Mahogany salvaged from a step of a staircase Neck: Wenge boards left over from a door somebody build 30...
