SamIAmUBUF Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I can't find a radius sanding block wide enough for my 6-string bass neck. I'm looking for a 3 1/2" wide, 16" or 20" radius block(haven't decided yet). any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamIAmUBUF Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Make your own.... http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/radius.htm ← I would love to make my own, but I'm sharing this wood shop with every achitecture student at UB, so I don't have enough solo access to the machines to do this. Also, I only have access to the shop for another week or so On a side note, does anyone know of a way to stop time so I can finish my bass before finals roll around?

Mr Alex Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Try this, I messed around with the formula and made a narrower one to what he made, it didn't work, but thinking about it, the ply should bend more smoothly if your block is wider, so if no one has any other quick ideas, try that. http://www.buildyourguitar.com/resources/tips/radblock.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Mailloux Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 You don't need a radius block large enough. You just make multiple passes. The radius it self will keep the whole thing in check. I made my 6-string bass fretboard just with the stewmac one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jehle Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Although that could come in handy to go back to 1978 and catch a few shows of Van Halen before they hit it big. I could bring back some nice bootlegs with that ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
