    Thanks Keith. Sounds like a plan!

    hahahaha! So true, so true about the strip joints too! I think most people around here just go to Ikea for furniture. I took a wood class at the local college... Maybe they have workshops where I can just work on my Les Paul.

    In all of Montreal, there are no wood working shops? No kitchen cabinet makers, furniture makers, etc.? My friend, I will look through the yellow pages to see what I can find.

    You really think I could sand the mahogany with something flat!? that'd be cool... It'd give me something to do too!

    Naw Wes, no shops around here... I spent yesterday driving from place to place. Derek lives about a Day away from me... (I think) The folks who live in Toronto are much closer.. like five hours

    Fellas, I really don't know what to do... I need to plane my mahogany body to make it perfectly flat on top, so that I can add my maple top, which I can't glue together cause the two pieces need to be planed... The thing is, is that I don't know anyone with a planer... and there is NOBODY in my area who will rent them out. Do any of you guys have any ideas of what I can do? As it stands, my Les Paul has been in a limbo state for about two weeks

    To my mind... that is a great deal... especially the best offer part

    Man that is nice work!! I saved most of the pictures for later reference... WOW!!

    Oh man! Verry Cool!

    Man... I can't help you there. But I'm getting nostalgic. I used to have a Duo-Sonic exactly like that before I Modded it(cough cough cough Destroyed it! cough cough). If only there was a "Project Guitar" when I was 17!! haha (She's just not "finished" yet! heh)

    I can't wait to hear more about this

    Oh Lord!! Are you serious!? I had no idea!! Never mind... I guess all those companies pour liquid graphite into moulds like syxxstring was saying. I just imagined that you could recreate the tonal structures from different woods, but without cutting trees down... Ah well... TIMBER! heh
  13. Adam Brown
    Hi folks, I'm just wondering if anyone has ever worked with graphite for bodies and necks? Did you like it? I'm asking because I've heard good things about Rainsong, Emerald and (possibly) Modulus(?)... The tone is supposed to be warm, and ya... I guess they don't have to chop a tree down!

    Dave, I'm not sure that I follow the what you mean by triangle wedges. Would these be visible on the finished product?

    Medium Density Fiberboard! (I had to look that one up) Thanks Dave I will tottally study your post in a half-hour, but as for right now... Coronation Street is on! haha (maybe some floks 'll understand) I appreciate all the help!

    Hey Guys, once again: Thank You very much. You definitely helped me out on this one!! Lex: Don't worry, no contours on the mahogany

    Hi Folks, here's the deal... after I get my mahogany body planed, I will be gluing on the two-piece maple top. I'm wondering what is the best way to do this. I have checked Brian's veneer tutorial (by the way... great job on everything... I study www.projectguitar.com as if it were finals) but I'm using 1/4" wood... would it be anydifferent? Or should I glue the bookmatched pieces together first? I ask this only because when I place the two pieces together, you can see the gap quite noticeably. (It looks like it would need binding like some PRS models have, right down the middle) I hope my questioning makes sense! Thank You kindly, Adam

    Hey guys... right at this minute, I'm using a $100 (on sale) Mastercraft Router (Canadian tire brand... thought to be among the cheapest in Canada) And it's Amazing... so simple to use, and it's making really clean cuts Of course, I'm sure that has a lot to do with the Freud Router bit...
  19. Adam Brown
    I was in Jack's yesterday... Not really much there. And ya, those guys are the meanest sleaziest buggers around. They had a cool 2x12 Laney, a marshall JCM 2000, and a Roland Jazz Chorus though The two best places to buy amps in my opinion used to be York music on Ste. Catherine's, and JR Comptant off of Decarie on Sherbrooke... but sadly both are gone now... sorry

    ps. I smoked out my entire house with the routing job I did. And it's January in Montreal, so opening up the doors and windows didn't last too long.... bbbrrrrrrrr!

    Two weeks ago I had the belt on my Sears Craftsman Belt Sander fly off and do some pretty serious damage to my guitar project... and two days ago, The Sears Craftsman Router I borrowed from a friend, burned, instead of routed the top of the same guitar. I will no longer use any craftsman products... I don't care WHAT Bob Vila says. Is anybody else in agreeance with me!? Any bad experiences? (ps. I will be using another friend's router with a Freud Spiral router bit I just bought)

    I used to do this Wado-Ru style karate back before I hit the double digits

    Hey, I totally understand... I would have answered in the same way... I don't mind screwing up my gear, but ya... Just the thought of someone elses makes me cringe. Salut!
