So i know it has been a long time since the last post, and three soundboards later, we have the body all glued up, and ready to be bound with binding, and cut with our dovetail jig for the neck.
The soundboard was a long, and very painful process with the first one as a bust, due to the damn circle cutter's lack of accuracy. The second to the wood not being thick enough and splitting while carving out the braces, but the third one finally will work. although the rosette is not perfect due to re-using the second soundboard's rosette so we would not have to make a new one. its not perfect, but the next guitar will be... i hope.
The neck has been cut into its rough shape and we are awaiting the truss rod and misc. items for completion. I designed and cut my own bridge and gave it a natural look to it. it was a very difficult task to complete with the band saw because i did not have any scroll saw blades but i was able to pull it off.
so for now, its just a quick update and i will post more photos beneath. i hope in the hear future, when this guitar is finished, i will be able to make another guitar with my father and refine our skills and make a 000 acoustic and do some things differently based on our learning experiences from this one. and hopefully by the 3rd or 4th guitar, we will be able to sell them. (i love thinking ahead).
so thats all for now! its coming along great and will most likely be finished by the end of the month.
