This isn’t really a “build process shot” but I was finishing two guitars at the same time recently. My shoulder started getting tired so I sat down to take a break and the way they were setting on the bench in relation to the light made for a cool shot. I wish I had gone back and staged a similar picture with descent background.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Build photos are a bit like country-western songs: include beer, summer, trucks, a girl, a dog, a divorce, and mom and you're good to go. All you need to compose a classic close-up build photo is some nice wood with a bunch of shavings (must have) and plane, a chisel, or a scraper (preferably all three). For a middle-distance shot, you need something large like a set of ribs, or a top with carved braces (with shavings of course), or a neck being carved (shavings) in a red vise. And don't forget a wall in the background covered with a multitude of chisels and/or clamps or shelves full of various planes. Sound hole binding and purfling ready to go in rosette: Attachment: Build pic 2.jpg Guess what this is: Attachment: Build pic 3.jpg Some cool shavings from scalloping braces: Attachment: Build pic 4.jpg

I finished carving a neck, bolted it on, then stood the guitar up on a window seat with the sun setting behind it ED |

"Guess what this is"... Dust from sanding ribs for top on a cylindrical dish. One of my favorites...

Dan, I really like the carving on that electric! Two photos that show the great pain I went through to turn regular herringbone into Holzapfel 12 string reverse herringbone. Try removing both black strips of the herringbone without disintegrating the center part sometime.   Top on Holz is nearly 3/16"! |

Thanks Haans! I am teaching myself how to use hand-held cutting tools. I finally figured out how to put a burr on a scraper, I bought a real burnisher. Always a treat to see your work! Dan |

A photographer friend likes to do projects with local craftsmen for his portfolio and approached me for a shoot. I thought this picture was pretty cool. The guitar was a gift for Robert Earl Keen and the copper plate on the neck block got an engraving of his scriptorium. He even played it for me at the Georgia Theater when I gave it to him!

Roping pictures are always nice IMO. Nice pics, everybody. |

Just mocked up for the picture, still needs a little work but other projects are at the top of the pile. It was a cigar box contest, use a paint can lid for a resonator, otherwise you are free to build what you will.
