It’s been a wild crazy world and a long time since I’ve posted. I hope everyone is doing ok….

I forgot some basic measurements and need to ask please.

I forgot how deep to cut away on the headstock of a 1x2 regular piece of wood for the tuners etc.

I remember gluing a 1/4” to the bottom of the headstock and still plan on doing so but forgot the depth of cut away? Duh. Thank you 

ps I also plan on gluing a 1/4 fretboard …

.I seriously can’t remember the depth to cut the headstock before gluing the 1/4” piece .

Thanks everyone. I’m just cutting enough to have a decent break angle and enough for my tuners to pass. I appreciate all the help …either way I lose some exactness with sanding do no big deal… I do wish I could do a scarf joint but seems ok either way …

Hi Jon, if you think the peghead may come out too thin put a veneer on the top of the thickness needed to bring it up to spec. This could be timber or plastic.

These two 6 string pegheads show what I mean, left and right and 4 string bottom centre.

Cheers Taff

Yeah, happens to me all the time.  I get the butterfly effect where I saw something and then it's different years later.  Kinda like the movie Porky's, I remembered Peewee having black hair the first time I saw it.  My brother played it last week and it shocked me he has red hair.
