I did a 1/2 scallope today

still a little put out about needing to host at photobucket. but
did a 1/2 scallop, started with a saw to create a small groove, then increasing file sizes. now I will retape and move to sand paper. starting with 220, will go through to 600 then extra fine steel wool.
I like wood working. I did this while listening to the gator football game on the radio. It was a rout 63 to 3 but still fun.

Because the server change must've had some issues. Possibly read/write permissions weren't changed.big bob said:
I've tried uploading too, and it didn't work. Maybe you read my tone wrong earlier, but I was just trying to help you find A way to show the pictures.
Looks like some nice work there. I may have to try that on a spare neck in the future.
On the uploading thing, I couldn't either. I even tried to update my avatar and it errored out. It must be with that server roll they did. Things may still be pointed toward a non-existent network share.

what tools were needed,files,etc other than the sandpaper,of course. I played another (full) scallop guitar last nite (the guy did it himself,but with a dremel,which i dont have) and am dead-set on taking to scalloping all my (non-bound) necks in the next couple of weeks. Ive got a couple of holiday shifts coming up (alone,12-hrs,bored silly)_ and plan to sawdust the heck out of my office floor..

I'd love to scallop my set-neck Mike Kelly too,but no way am I going to mess up that binding and inlays...grrr

just what is in the first photo. a coping saw needle files and a medium c shaped gouge. just go slow and make sure you have at least two layers of tape on the frets.
hannaugh said:You are a brave man to do that scallop. But then again, it seems like many of your projects are pretty ballsy. Can't wait to hear this neck when it's ready to play!ccasion14:
this is the fourth one I've done, not really ballsy. I find the wood work relaxing. here is how it looks sanded
now I need to find some tru-oil for the scallop and get the headstock face and back sprayed black

I wish Warmoth would do a full scallop to the 24th fret. :icon_scratch:
