Cool! I'll keep that in mind. ;) I've been working on my "girl cave" for the past two weekends. Today I'll carpet the bench and make a little dealie-bob that I can flip up to hold a guitar neck. I'll post pictures when it's presentable! :mrgreen:

Thanks KRamone I have a bit for bindings not as nice as the stewmac thing but I have to save some money for that first...(and lots of other nice tools.)


So I routed out the bindingchannel:

Fits like a glove.

Routed out the concave in babysteps. I don't want it to go wrong in this stage.

Like that:

Pencilled the german border JAWOHL

I think I'm getting close now, so I want to glue in the binding first and than finetune the shape.

Looking GOOD!!! I like the aged look of the binding - that's going to be a really sharp guitar!

Nice work Oigun!

I have to get used to the fact that it is a lefty though...(my simple mind is sooo 'rite'-hand Mosrite orientated :roll: ) :D
