stiggz Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 (edited) look at these cavity covers, they follow the same grain as the surrounding wood, and they are part of the carve, so putting 2 and 2 together i get 4 so those covers are from the same bit of wood, same grain as the surrounding areas etc etc, i have tried this, but have only had sucess with thin, almost veneer thickness attempts, these ones are clearly thicker, so my question is how does one acheive this? luke Edited July 10, 2005 by where's the beef???

Maiden69 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 http://www.monaro.com.au/guitar/index.htm this is Perrys site and he keeps detailed pics of that guitar in progress. Just look at the Vine Project on the right and check the pics. It is on page 3-4and 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiggz Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 yeah maiden i know where he keeps the pics, i see that it is done but i dont see how it could be done, unless u get a really small router bit and run it around the out side of the cover type thing on the back, as shown in red down there \/ and then rout in behind itso it drops out..... maybe, more experimenting to be done, i just need that small router bit.. luke ps. oh wes i asked perry a while ago and he said nah sorry cant tell ya that cos im the only 1 doin it that way, or somthing similar to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 To me, the tricky part isn't cutting out the cover. The tricky part is, how do you break the magnetic contact? Where's the handle? Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 yeah maiden i know where he keeps the pics, i see that it is done but i dont see how it could be done, unless u get a really small router bit and run it around the out side of the cover type thing on the back, as shown in red down there \/ and then rout in behind itso it drops out..... maybe, more experimenting to be done, i just need that small router bit.. i would imagine that it would be done in the opposite way you described. rout out the chamber from the front, and then maybe use a very fine drill dit, then a coping saw with a very fine blade (or something like that ) cheers darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
