My shoulder has been a little sore, so I have slowed down a little.
The guitar body has progressed well, some minor repairs needed from the use of the router. I need to learn to slow down, and be more considerate of the grain direction. I still have alot of sanding ahead to get that perfect shape.
I have started on a set of full size plans, thanks to the help of Luthier’s Edge. I am doing an overlay to design the neck and fretboard. This way, I can use it for assisting in the design guitars in the future.
My repurposed pine is now starting to look more like a guitar. I will get it on the router next week for final shaping. Next stop, buying some harder wood for the neck and fretboard🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️.
Final coat done. Castor wheels will be bought this week, and final drilling of tool holes will completed soon✔✔🦾🦾Ahhh, an uncluttered workspace again😎😎
The final coat has gone in the table. I am really happy with the end result. I am going to let it cure for a couple of days an then fit the shelves. I have completed the repair to the chip from the router. Final shaping tomorrow, then maybe cut and shape the actual guitar.
Finally glued up the 2 pieces of pine for my Telecater build.I needed to invest in a couple of F clamps to get a good solid connection over both surfaces. Well worth the investmemt👌👌
The second coat has gone well. After it dries, I am going to give it a really light sand, and apply another very light coat. The gloss is coming through well👌👌
My first real run on the router table. Shaping the outside surface of the Telecaster. It is finally starting to look like a guitar template.🤘🤘
I had a small chip come off during the routing. Glueing in a wedge to replace it. Final selection and the initial preperation of the guitar body. This pine has been repurposed from an old dining table👌👌.
