Here is one half of the lap joint for panel # 5. Panel #6 will provide the other half .
Provides for a strong joint at the attachment point for the guitar strap.

Hi guys . Here ya go!!

 

[49peterbilt]

Sorry guys, my internet is not good at my shop. We live in the woods.

Good pic of the wood grains.

One thing I wanted to mention.  This entire body has not metal fasteners at all within the cavities at all. Reason being , once the milling process begins, the mill knives can NOT come in contact with anything metal whatsoever.
    Hence the use of lap joints and heavy extreme pressure during the glueing process.

in case you guys are wondering, this is my 15 inch mill (planer) made by JET tool corporation.

:hello2:
Once the body is done, it will be fitted with heavy pine runners glue on both sides.
This will act as guide rails for the mill to guide the body into the knife cutterhead.
    The knives are at saw shop now being sharpened to a razor's edge.
