Continued from previous posts. As usual, it took longer than expected, but here are the rims all bent and blocked up. Next steps will be getting the tops and backs all braced up and voiced. After that I’ll install the kerfed lining and side braces, do some final bowl sanding, notch the lining and finally put the boxes together. Simple as that.
Should have more to share in the coming weeks.
Thanks for the support! Happy to answer any questions!
Wow, building Guitars is super cool. I want to do that one time. I have a really beautiful acoustic guitar that smells like very sweet wood and sounds amazing.
I highly recommend working through the process at least once. There’s a lot guitar building can teach you about woodworking in general, but my favorite part is learning about the crazy custom tools, jigs and fixtures that different luthiers use to achieve essentially the same goal.
Cool! Very interesting
