krazyderek Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 How do i make full size plans for my guitar? what program do i use and how do i print it? And for a carved top do i just create the 3-D effects? By eye? or is there some sort of template i can make? auto cad seems like a fairly popular, it also allows full size printing via multiple sheets, u can do a 3d mock up for carving, but most people just do it by feel, as trying to reproduce something u made on a computer could quilckly turn into a nightmare if it's ur first time around, well that's kinda exagerated, but just run a search for carving, we've talked about it before, disk sanders are great to ruff out the shape, then surefoams, spokeshaves and sanding blocks to finish it off.

Snork Posted November 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 what about straight up filing and sandpaper. Lol. making it sound like i have a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 well, a file will take u longer then a rough sandpaper, but maybe u meant a rasp.... same thing only for wood, works alot faster, never used one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyB Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 You might find this website useful. He did his carved top using a router, chisel, and belt sander. http://members.fortunecity.com/jtfish/lpc/...c/cvr/cover.htm "Shaping the Body."
