Lyn #15 - Solid-body Nylon Acoustic

Thanks Frankie.

I would love to take credit for the grain pattern, but to be honest until you mentioned it I hadn't even noticed it. Ahem, I meant to say yeah, right-on, I spent months choosing just the right grain pattern and glued it just so.

Yeah I would have planned it exactly the same way;)

coming along nicely Westie07, keep up the good work mate !

Have to agree that there is very interesting grain patterns on show.

@Warren
Thanks mate. You are ever the encourager.

@Waz
You have no idea how long it took me to decide on that grain pattern. Hahahaha

Thanks guys

First step in binding is to cut a rebate.

Anyone who is familiar with my previous build will remember my “poor man’s” Beading Tool. So out it came and once again. Its simplicity, accuracy and effectiveness made scribing the cut line a piece of cake. By lightly filing down the head of the screw it ends up with a nice sharp edge and it cuts fairly deeply into pine and leaves a great line for the chisel to follow.

After a few hours with the chisel the job is basically done. I still need to go over it with some sandpaper just to make sure the levels are spot on, but that can wait for another day.

My next job will be a bit trickier. The binding itself.

nice job Westie07 love how you get around using no power tools

@Warren
Thanks mate. I just getting in early with the hand tools. In a few years we will either not have regular power or if we do we won't be able to afford it. Everybody will be on the hand tools then. lol

@Frankie and Zandie
Thanks so much guys. I don't really know what else to say, except thank you.
