That darn HD adds 50lbs

HD? Is that secret code for Smithwick's?

Does beer make your clothes shrink???

not if you drink enough ... or at least you won't notice

I actually used my router table and my Stew Mac bit and bearings to cut the channels.
It was fairly easy.

Here is the final outcome.

Also, I added the inlay picture for the fret board extension. Not perfect but the customer liked it.

I have driven John crazy with questions on the D45 build.

the details are the hardest part of the learning curve.
Looks good

Looks great WG!

I have learned a lot on this one. I am building this D42 and a D45 at the same time.

I love doing this stuff.

As I said, I talked to John every other day for the last few weeks.

Now a regular HD28 seems easy!

Pretty snazzy! Nice go at the fretboard purfling outline. Looks good.

One side was alittle wider at the top. So, I had to open the other side up to match. Somehow I screwed up the line when I scribed it with an exacto blade.

It caught a grain and followed it too far to the right.
