Steel Guitar Builder

Good story there Bent. I have never quite understood what was meant by a 'wet coat' - I assume it means 'as much as you can get on there without runs or curtaining'... I have just completed spraying color coat on my current project and it is hanging around waiting for the paint to cure so that I can...

Over the years I have dozens of requests, from two or three people, for some of the details of how I make fretboards. I have made quite a few versions of the jig that I use. It is so very simple that building it takes no time at all. In case anyone is interested I have prepared two PDF files with de...
