Bytrix Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 so I'm finally ready to try a scallop on this cheap neck I bought before christmas but I can't seem to find anything like the Dremel Contour Sander mentioned in the tutorial on the site. Does anyone (in the UK) know of any tools that are of similar design that should do the job just as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Files, rasps, sandpaper and a lot of imagination to use what you have on hand to come up with different radius cauls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signguy Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yup, most tutorials I have seen have just used rat tail files, sandpaper etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bytrix Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 well I suppose the good news is it won't cost me as much to scallop as first expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 A cheap and fairly accurate way to sand the scallops would be to buy a few dowels ranging from 1/4" up to 1 3/4" and just wrap sandpaper around short lengths of them.

Why didn,t I think of that! I want to scallop my neck just from the 19th fret. I "made" a drum sander from a 32mm drill bit by wrapping cardboard around it for stiffnes and covering that with sand paper. I then put it in my drill clamped the drill to my workmate and fed the headtock into it until I had a nice curve up to the nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
