Jehle Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Well the new body is starting to take shape. Still no pictures yet. I'm going to route out the main body shape with a template. There's one place, however, where the template is just a little too far in. I've experimented with adding a few layers of masking tape to bring it back out, and that seems to work okay, but are there any other suggestions on how to "beef up" the template a little. Oh, I guess I could also wrap a few layers of tape around the berring too. That would give me a little extra slop that I could sand down.

Brian Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Whats the template made out of? If it's wood you could easily add some veneer to the side and build it back up so you don't have to depend on the tape gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Rosenberger Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 yeah glue a little veneer on there, you can sand it flush at the transition so you don't have any bumps to sand out of the body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehle Posted August 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 Thanks! The veneer idea is perfect. I have scraps of it around and it would be simple to glue. The template is made from a (heavy) piece of cabinet grade MDF. It'll take glue just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
