ultrazone5150 Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 Hey guys, this might be a dumb question, but up till this point i have only assembled guitars. I want to start to learn to cut the blanks myself. What kind of saws, sanders, routers are needed. Thanks Quote
RGGR Posted October 13, 2005 Report Posted October 13, 2005 A cheap router is probably the only item you can't do without. The rest you can beg, steal or borrow. Local furniture, wood working facilities mostly have all the heavy lifting stuff. Planers Band Saws Table saws Thickness sanders etc. Hand over couple of cold brewski's and they will happy to help you out. (And even if they charge a small fee........$5-$10 bucks per time.....it still beats spending $1500 dollar on one of those machines you only use 1-2 per build. No need to invest in expen$ive hardware. Just make some new friends. Most people love it to help you out. "Oh, nooo ...there is that guitar guy again. Duck and run!!!" Quote
