Awesome, our shop put a new blade on the band saw recently so the quicker I get done with this first solid body i'm working on, the quicker I can use a newer blade. Luckily Christmas break is coming up which should allow plenty of work time. Then again, if worse comes to worse, i'll just cut before i bend.
so is this so called side bending machine, is it just a jig in the shape of the guitar sides, and to use it i would just bend the wood on to this jig using steam and heat? then after i bent each portion of the wood on to the jig, i would clamp it in place?
