Brian Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Just like the title say's So how are they turning out for you? Is it an easier process then you first thought it would be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goat Posted August 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Yeah,so far.I`m taking my time, having a great time doing this project.I also paint,so it is pulling me away from the canvas for awhile. I just added another inch of mahogany to the bottom of the thru-neck`s bodies to accomidate for neck angle.I havn`t worked it out yet because I am still waiting for the Melvyn Hiscock book in the mail for the formula.I just wanted to be ready. I have all the electronics already and am waiting on the 6150 fretwire. My name is cut in Abalone for the body,that will be a challenge. I havn`t decided the methods for painting yet though.I have a professional spray-gun and air , just not a dust-free environment.Any suggestions? I heard a spokeshave draw-knife is not the best for maple.I don`t have one anyway.I do have surforms,rasps and a floor standing belt-sander. It`s a BLAST!

Brian Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 You can always rough shape them down closer with those tools then finish them off hand sanding or with a palm sander. I'm sure somebody's going to come in here with a better idea how soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
