<p> How'd your "<span>CBG Nation Collaborative Induction Pickup" turn out? I made one a couple of years ago, it was pretty cool, but I drifted off to building wall-wart wired, low-z wood bobbin, hardwood sheathed scatterwounds.instead. May try the Nation's induction pickup again soon.</span></p>

<p>I've listened to this debate glue/no glue for years and really it is a matter of personal preference. I personally do both but most of the time because of the soft wood fret boards and aggressive fret dressing I do, I choose to glue mine. I don't spend but a few minutes to fret a 22 fret board. It is well sanded and I seal the grains with danish oil before frets are laid.The oil prevents the glue from overrun and discoloration.

Where I spend the time is in dressing the frets to where they are supper smooth compared to most necks. Awesome to feel and easy on the fingers. I could never work them with a file and buff them if they were unglued.</p> Timothy hi, don't let impress…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2017-02-15:2592684:Comment:27962642017-02-15T06:19:24.020ZMoritz Voegelihttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/MoritzVoegeli265
<div>Timothy hi, don't let impress you from the photos of the workshops of other CBN members, to build just some CBGs there's no real need for power tools. For me the real power tools are these:</div>
<div>1. if you work with scrap wood for necks you have to saw it lengthwise along the fibres which is a pain with a normal cross cut saw, saws for length cut have different teeth: check if you can find one.</div>

<p>not going to glue the lid to the box. was after midnight last night when i wrote that so sorry if i mislead into thinking that. i have to cut some support blocks for between the neck and the box bottom. will glue those to the neck and then screw the bottom of the box to those blocks as well as through the side. i have the neck cutouts quite snug so i shouldnt get any buzz from there.</p>
<p>just thought would it be better to glue the support blocks to the box then just screw the neck to the blocks?</p>
<p>Moritz, i didnt want to invest too much money into this at first so i took the easy way to fret( or so i thought). next time i will use proper frets. trouble i only have a few hand tools the only power tool i have is a drill.</p> No Glue neck to box you'll be…tag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2017-02-15:2592684:Comment:27963372017-02-15T01:54:21.632ZShawnhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/Shawndenman

<p>Timothy, I suppose for the money you spend for glue and split pins you could get real fret wire, for the 20+ necks I fretted I hadn't to use even a drop of glue. By the way: why do you want to glue the top to the box?</p>
