Hello again everyone. Fortunately I haven’t had any problems but I’m glad to hear I can get help here. Today I didn’t do very much but I’m very satisfied with what I have done.
Today I finalised the headstock shape and cut it out with help from my dad. I haven’t used a scroll saw very often and I’ve only ever cut plywood (which happens to be a lot thinner than the headstock) and softer mdf. I decided to go with my first idea but I moved the curve a bit lower down, leaving more wood and allowing me to amplify the curves.
Here’s the result
I’m very happy with it and after the initial cutting, the filing went well. I’ll do some sanding a bit later on, just before I paint and coat it.
Speaking of painting, where can I get the correct paint and clear coat here in Perth (preferably north of the river)? I believe I can’t just go to Bunnings, grab some paint and go - or is this something I can do?
