Boggs Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 When I say these bodies are labor intensive and made by hand, I'm not kidding... More smoothing of a bookmatched Koa top or back... 6 of them times 2 surfaces each. I still have to apply the maple to one side so I can fill the worm holes... http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Gui...t/By_Hand2S.JPG Nice glue joint though, I must admit... They are all that good! http://www.angelfire.com/ny5/boggs.com/Gui...t/By_Hand3S.JPG Gotta make hay while the sun shines... Boggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggardguy Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Put a shirt on! Jeez Nice stuff, what guitars are you making exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggs Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I would have but it was hotter'n blazes... You could probably tell by my fried head... The koa is for smaller chambered body electrics I have designed ( I have enough for 3 guitars ) and the Cuban mahogany skeleton is for a set of bloodwood tops and backs I bookmatched to make a full-sized chambered body guitar also of my design. I've also got about 5 sets of padauk tops and backs to bookmatch so I can make 5 more chambered body CamelBacks like the one shown. That's why I be sweatin' like a pig...

Boggs Posted July 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 That's no road... That's my driveway. It just seems like a road when I have to shovel it in winter! it wasn't a problem yesterday though as it was 90 degrees. Gonna be hotter today and tomorrow with high humidity. I'll be back at it again today and tomorrow after work. I'll probably do more gluing instead of the heavy work. Just too darned hot. Hope nobody went blind...

ZoSo_Spencer Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 looks good keep the pics coming maybe u should try a clamp while you are sanding the guitar lol, as you wouldnt want to sand your hand (depending on the sander) or round some sides, corners or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the orbital finishing sander to smooth and true up the radii. I prefer to work outside when I can to keep sawdust from getting through the house and all over my record collectin and computer and stuff. I don't have a dust hood... What makes it hotter was that the humidity was so high. It is going to be hotter and more humid today and tomorrow... Maybe I'll sweat off some of my excess baggage. Hey... I'm 52 years old. Could be worse. Krazyderek, that is how I true it up and make it smooth except when I go to the sanding plate and REALLY make it hard on myself! I try to give my customers (none of which I have yet) their money's worth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boggs Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) You guys are killin' me! Should I say something about the knee pads? Naw... Too easy... Funny thing is, when I post pics and descriptions of my projects and techniques without being topless, there are 325 views and only one comment or 204 views and one comment... I think there's a message here. You guys apparently WANT man-boob! Edited July 12, 2005 by Boggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
