Fretboard Radius Blocks | What I use and where to get them

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Jeff, thank you for the kind words. I'm extremely flattered any time I hear friends talk about my tools. Oh the flip side of that coin... I'm digging your color coded 3d printed blocks. For roughing in, I think those would be very useful. It makes me wonder if there's a printed "cap" you could make for the long beams. Something that could snap on and off so you could switch grits on the same block... Maybe I'm over-thinking it.

[@homebuiltshop]

Thats a great idea on the removeable cap. Maybe I'll experiment with that at some point, or I'll just buy some more from you! Lol.

I have two of the 20” long Skyscraper ones…10” radius and 14” radius and they are top notch. I love them. The flat sanding beam is fantastic too.

[@homebuiltshop]

The @skyscraperguitars tools are so sweet. I also have a flat sanding beam. I plan to get some more long radius blocks too.

[@CMRWoodworks]

I have a wooden 8“ radius block, but have had my eye on the longer Skyscraper ones for a while now. When the right time comes, I‘ll be picking one up for sure. Oh, and neat color-coding idea for your printed blocks!

[@homebuiltshop]

The Skyscraper blocks are awesome. I can't recommend them enough. I will eventually get some more in the other radius.

[@kornelijekovac9793]

I bet you got one 🤣

[@djb3545]

Nice video. Do you use them to level frets too?

[@homebuiltshop]

I don't although I suppose you could. I use a flat beam to level the frets.

[@rfphill]

Could you use your 3d printer to make double sided radius blocks so you can use one block to hold two different grits of sandpaper?

[@lacaval]

What infill do you use for these?

[@homebuiltshop]

I've tried several different infills, but 20% is what I use. They're plenty strong.

[@chrisjackson7986]

What make/model 3D printer do you use for making your radius sanding blocks?

[@homebuiltshop]

I use a Creality Ender 3 v2.

[@Hateweek1984]

Can you resin print the radius blocks? Those look like FDM ones..

[@homebuiltshop]

Mine are FDM. I think resin print would work great if you have a resin printer.
