Davis guitars Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 looks great!! i love the grain of ur top do you have any close up pics of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Great craftsmanship as always Philippe, always great to see work done by you. I like how you hold down the body for routing, simple and out of the way. I'll have to borrow that idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Trepagny Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 looks great!! i love the grain of ur top do you have any close up pics of it? This is a naptha covered top from another build, but with the same wood. Looking sweet! I will experment with some dye to see what i can do with that stuff. Jon, i borrow the idea from a milling machine. I put 3/8"-16 T-nuts a the back of my bench, extended the bolt with the plastic knob. You can't move the piece on the table with two clamp tited! It's great and cheap Thanks! Philippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 So did you buy this bench, or build it? I'm getting a lot of ideas for my future work bench from this build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 When I saw that clamp down system I was thinking "why didnt I think of that", I am definetely adding that to my bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Trepagny Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 So did you buy this bench, or build it? I'm getting a lot of ideas for my future work bench from this build! I built it; 4X4" stud at each corner linked by 2X6" stud. the top is made from two poplar plywood glued together. Four sealer lacquer coat, and i wax it every month. So if glue drop fall on my table, it's easily remouvable. Voilà la recette! Thanks! See ya, Philippe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPA or death Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Great work Philippe! I love the guitar and the shop. It's often underestimated how important it is to have a clean, well-lit, and organized shop in order to do the job right. I know this firsthand, and not in a positive way . I think you made the right call on the traditional f-holes too. Very classy build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
