    Exactly. I've done that on an Explorer body I started.

    That's sounds good to me russ. No hard feelings.

    Well, that's your own fault. You would have been better off staying out of it. It wasn't an issue until you shot of your "mouth". You can't replace fact with rhetoric. Rich understood what I was getting at.

    Now, this is where I was hoping to get. I'd love to see that. I'd be open to even buying a CM saw or even radial arm to do it. I've had experience doing it by and hand and while I found it therapeutic, it was a pain in the ass. Do you have any pics of your setup? Thanks. Dave

    Rich, when you made this comment, it gave the impression that you were insulted by me simply question the tool in this application when in fact, I was simply questioning it's use. Obviously, you're using it successfully and I was interested in knowing more about it since, well, as I said, I'd never considered a miter saw for the job. Maybe you should brush up on your reading skills. I was clearly questioning the use of the miter saw, little guy. Hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahah! Now that is funny!

    Are you kidding me? Insulted? I was asking a simple question! Jeez guys, let's not take ourselves so seriously OK? I think he over-reacted. Plus, I wasn't talking about Harbour Freight caliber tools either.

    Wow! That's beautiful! You did that so fast and I'm still finishing a stupid solid body.

    And bevel the interior arcs and edges like a blade. I can't believe I just said that.

    Dude, chill out. I was asking a simple question. As I said, the consensus with builders of furniture is that the miter saw has too much play in it to be used where extreme accuracy is needed. Note, I said, extreme. If you're saying it works, I believe you. No need to take offense.

    Well, the radial arm saw is a different animal. I've seen that video.
  12. CudBucket
    I say that because in general woodworking, the miter saw is not considered as accurate as say, a table saw with a good aftermarket fence. I would think, in building guitars, where accuracy is more important than say building a dresser, the same would be true. If it works for you, that's great. I was just pointing out that it seems contradictory to what I've read. Dave

    Wow, $1700 on a project! Fryovanni, I would think that a miter saw wouldn't be accurate enough for boards.
  14. CudBucket
    Real nice. What's the base color?
  15. CudBucket
    Haha. Alot older than you. I'm 39.

    Links don't work.

    Matt, you really need a camera, kid.

    Most builders will tell you that you shouldn't start building until your design is finished. That would include knowing what components you are going to use and how they will layout. Therefore, progress on the actual guitar can't begin until the design is complete. At least, it shouldn't. Plus, having a completed design results in fewer aborted projects. I have nothing against seeing other peoples designs but it shouldn't be mixed up with people who are actually building guitars. Anyone can draw a picture.
  19. CudBucket
    You know it Matt. Drawing a picture does not a guitar make. I think Shakespeare said that.
  20. CudBucket
    I really like your designs. They're interesting. Much better than some of the stuff people come up with. Plus, it's not in the "In Progress" section! Keep 'em coming.
  21. CudBucket
    It's good to see a real "in progress" post instead of another "hey look at this 'concept' design I drew. Isn't it cool?" Very nice work so far. Dave
  22. CudBucket
    Ahem. idch took the shot. I just said it was cold.
  23. CudBucket
    I recommend you do, Algee. When I first tried to level, the clear would ball up under the sand paper due to the heat build up from friction. Mineral spirits eliminates that, evaporates fast and lubes better than water. And since it evaporates, won't swell untreated wood.
  24. CudBucket
    I read the same thing but for levelling with mineral spirits I think 3 or 4 days is fine. Final polishing, maybe 7-10 days. I know some folks wait a month but I think that's excessive.

    Thanks. I've been using McFadden's. My first 5-6 coats were light. Mist-type coats. 45 minutes or so apart. Then the last 10 have been wetter, over-lapping stokes. They would go on glossier than the mist coats. Of those last 10 coats, the final 6 were a thinner solution with slightly less PSI (50 PSI down to 45 PSI).
