Where can I buy one of these in the UK?

If I make a hash of drilling a body for a string through, would this be a rescue option?

Forgive me if you were looking specifically for UK stock.

Certainly looks like they could cover a certain amount of drill wander wonkiness.

For it to look decent it would need to be sunk into the body and that would be a much trickier job to do than just drilling the holes and fitting ferrules I would imagine.

Weird how it appears that no one sells these in the UK... unless they are called something else here

Never seen that site before.  Good stuff.

I bought something similar from a US site called Taipan Tone, but I think they went out of business quite a few years ago.

take your time and dont make a hash of it.
I would not attempt it unless using a pillar drill stand ,if you don't have one have you a joiner friend ? or a local woodworking firm near you?

The block looks like a decent alternative tho..
