Week 13 – More body work

Posted on May 27, 2015December 1, 2019 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

More body work

  • Use edge trimmer in router to take excess of back while in mould. Trim to match the side
  • Check rotation direction of router and follow that direction round the back in mould (e.g. anti-clockwise)
  • Split mould to remove back and sides
  • Tidy up any excess with chisel or sanding and insert back into mould with back down ready to do front
  • Front the same as back – trim with block plane to get neck and base roughly the right height then sand with radius disc till you can see even deposits of wood dust round complete perimeter of body
  • Glue in kerfing as per front and hold in with pegs

 Neck

  • Plane neck block flat, use template to locate position on neck then glue and clamp in place with 2 ‘G’ clamps
