Lyn #16 - Bev's Pulpit Tele

Time for a quick update.


I have glued the body together and started final shaping.


The 3 pieces ready to be glued.

Attachment 24542



Beneath this forest of clamps is hidden the body.
Attachment 24543



Next day, getting ready to start final shaping. As I get older I’m finding the power-supply for my Shinto rasp needs more rests and regular recharging.

Attachment 24544



Before, close up of how rough my initial cuts are.

Attachment 24545



After being attacked by the Shinto.

Attachment 24546



Next will be final shaping, dummy assembly to position the bridge and adjusting routing for pickups. Then some work on the neck and frets.


Stay tuned.

Wow, looking at your projects you dont have any problem with "just using hand tools". Great job

@Sonic, John, Scott, and stan,
Thanks guys, appreciate the support.

@Nitro
Thanks mate. The only real difference between hand tools and power tools is the time it takes to get things done. And besides, routers scare me. Lol.

It's a hobby that I really enjoy, I have lots of time, so it was a no brainer for me when I decided to go "old school". ;)

Thanks guys

Routers scare me too, but I like it!
I really like where this is going Robin, another fantastic hand crafted epic.

With good reason! I think if I hadn't had kids, and my time hadn't become so compressed, I would never have picked one up. They do make things quick though. I figure if I maintain my terror I'm more likely to be safe

Yeah I agree with that sentiment John.
