received email this arvo ,, new bigsby being sent . started on cuting flames will post pic later when done ,, they tend to take a bit of time and a lot of filling to get them spot on .
-
Muffman, you mean you are cutting the flame shapes through the whole width of the body ?
that should look sick !
good luck with that
-
YES : just like the original one i made , they take a while to file tho , slow process to get them square , smooth and perfect !!!
-
-
thanks mate ,, got half done ,, like i said slow process
-
That's looking bad ass man.
Must be a pain filing those internals. What do you use to cut them.
-
i drill lots of hole on the out line leaving about 3-5mm ,, and then use a renovator tool with small thin blade cut out the excess , then carve with dremel tool taking of that 2-3mm, and then file of till just right and finish with 60 grit paper , then last a finish sand with 180 then 360 grit so they end up smooth and clean ,, and yes it a pain to do LOL ,, im lucky to have a very large file selection from large to small and all different shapes , plus lots of dremel attachments,, the right tools make life very easy
-
Sounds like fun mate. It's times like that I wish I had a bandsaw.
-
yes have mini bandsaw good but some times i find backing it out from where it cant turn can be a pain and on really curved cuts ,, that why i op to do this way ,, jig saw can be affective also , but drilling the holes in it can help it turning direction of blade ,, like playing dot to dot LOL
