IN THICKNESS AND IN HEALTH...
Today was spent primarily shaping the contours on the both the base
(finishing from last week) and the top of this "Gibson semi solid to be".
Here we see the "Before" "During" and "After" views. What could be so good as working on a "potential guitar", in the sun, on a machine with ne'er a care in the world. Well lotsa things, I guess but this was a damn good day at the office. The machine in use shall hence forth be known as the Thicknesser. The guy next door from the battery world shop decided it would be so. It's a variation on the one in the link but the principle is there. Later I used the thicknesser/planer shown in the link to help smooth the pieces of wood attached to the top'n'back (see above left.. the white piece on the guitar shaped bit!!). These pieces of "thicknessed" i.e. levelled wood will help secure the guitar for the chiselling to come. Stay tuned groupies!
