Woks' collection can be seen with the naked eye from the moon....
Anyway I haven't been posting much but managed to get some work done.
Routed the channel wires.
Glued it all up. Still don't have enough clamps! Some areas still had gaps. Argh!
Fresh off the clamps.
After trimming the top and with some mineral spirits, the flames really popped.

Started drilling for the truss rod channel.
And used a 6mm bit with a router straight edge guide.

great progress Simon, that flame top looks unreal ! Will this be a carved top is there enough meat on the flame maple drop top ?
love the axe collections, I'd swap my collection with Slash or Joe in a heartbeat haha

Yes I would trade all I have for their collection too!
Unfortunately it's only 7mm thick so I'll only use it as a drop top. I did consider doing a little carving with binding to hide the ugly gaps where I didn't have enough clamps. I'll think it through for now until the neck is done.
Hey Simon, is the white bucket and Shop vac in the back of shot a home made dust collector system?
looks like it Franken, maybe a home made dust extraction system
