gracias eddie... my english is a crap
-
Thanks! sure, I'll finish it with nitro applied with brush... What do you mean with chip/discolor?... sorry, I don't understand...
-
well... I use glasses (to see), so I fill uncomfortable with small white masks while working on wood... I only use a mask when working with bone or MOP.
-
not yet... that's pure wood. thanks!
-
Hi there, finally I got this build roughly finished and took some pics. Hope you like it
-
Hi there, Now the build is almost finished, just need the strings to adjust the nut... I made it from a cow bone. More to come. saludos!

The 5 min stuff can be converted to 48h (or more) stuff if you add less catalyst(?)... trust me
-
thanks very much!
-
it was a SSL issue, solved now... nice woods there, love the fretboard.
-
For some reason, I can't see the pics...

Thanks demonx!... and nice axe you're building, love the wenge neck well, love all your work, I'm your follower in the dark number one... hope some day I will have a workshop like yours.
-
Thanks! Today's work... putting the frets. Now the topic runs at realtime... XD Also a quick preview of the whole thing... i like it, just that. Thanks for watching!

I was expecting the joke about the pink towel... sorry, I didn't focus on the color of the towel while working on wood... XD Yes, I work in my apartment... I make the 'dirty' job in the balcony but I have a little 'workship' in a room... my neighbors are more noisy than me, I don't care. thanks for comments!

I bought the hardtail in eBay, it cost exactly... errrm... $15 XD it looks good, but sure there are better bridges out there. However, it's very difficult to buy 'inexpensive' parts for a 7 string, I had to buy 2 complete hedstocks to get the extra tuner... anyway, you always can upgrade them later. Yes, as I said at beginning, I started the project 2 months ago... sorry, I feel a bit 'insecure' in this forum, there are too much serious builders here. I live in Almería, south of Spain... thanks for comments!

Routing for binding... Binding time... Giving a security contour, ready for carved... Carving the top... And the finished product... Also carved the whole back... That's all for now... it still needs the fret job, but near to completion. Hope you like it!

More pictures... Rough carve in the neck back... Side dots made of bone... Neck carving... Dot markers and fretboard with 16" radio...

The specs are: - One piece Ash body, Wenge top - Mahogany/Sapelle/Maple laminated neck - Macassar Ebony fingerboard - 7 strings, 25.5" length scale - Cheap components This is the initial design: Wood selection... Body contour... 7 mm wenge top... 5 piece laminated neck Glueing ears... Stupid mockup... Slotting fingerboard... Double binding... Logo made with bone... Headstock contouring... Binding time... Neck binded... Routing the neck pocket... More to come.

I do it in the same way, but with two guides instead just one... all my necks are 3+3 so I make the truss rod channel before finish the headstock... I would love to have a router table like yours, and nice workshop BTW.
