Week 9 – Moulding Sides

Posted on April 8, 2015December 1, 2019 by Iain 'Cutty' Carlin

Moulding Sides

  • Removed 2nd Side from bender (was a bit charred due to being heated too long)
  • Same process as 1st side to put into mould:
    • Remove 1st side
    • Cut roughly to size with some overlap
    • Set centre line and mark with square
    • Cut using block and Tenon/dovetail saw
    • Place both sides into jig and tighten up block
    • Had to block plane edges to fit flush

Front braces

  • Cut thin flat braces for front from left over top and bottom materials (not enough for bridge brace so had to modify the shape to suit available materials)
  • Glued front braces, bridge and sound hole braces and placed into go-bar jig to dry
