(While this doesn't have Warmoth parts in it, as they don't make acoustic parts, I felt that it was worth posting for the educational value. Assuming it has educational value........... :dontknow
Greeting's Folks. Got me a new toy that started it up again.
. This is a lot better than my old one. It's actually made to cut hardwood, not just soft pine and it can reduce a piece to 1/8 thick. The old one could only go down to 1/2 inch.
. Soo, being me, I decided to test it out. I have some white limba lying around and an LMI mold for a parlour guitar body. Once I thinned down some 3" wide sides I broke out the medieval torture device.
. Then I set it aside for a bit to cure. Meanwhile preparing some blocks for the head and tail which I then glued in place.
. Once that was done I started adding kerfed lining, which gives you more gluing surface for the top and back.
. More to come shortly.................... :turtle:
