Bob, I really like your router jig/drum sander method in that other thread. I guess it's jig making time again...

Any way I turned out great. I dish sanded it to true the bottom and that took a whole of three minutes and then I flat sanded the top for the reinforcement that will be added later. Take a peek and sorry about the pencil mark.... " (emphasis mine)


Yes, Hesh we already know that! 


This is a great thread!  Keep em coming!  Please!

Very nice Hesh, Thinning the brace to fit, Why didn't I think of that. And I thought I was the only guy using weight for clamping, I use 1lb chunks of lead.

[QUOTE=Hesh1956]Thank Waddy that one with the snakewood handle has my name on it [/QUOTE]

Hesh, the way those knives are designed, they are made to work in both directions.  Bevel on one side, angled to a point in the center, lets you flip it around and mark in the other direction keeping the flat side to the inside of the mark.  The Hock knives are a good example of left and right hand marking blades.

Onya Hesh,

Can always rely on you to make the sort of post which maintain the OLF's standing on the internet as a friendly useful resource and a most worth while place for guitar builders to hang out

Thanks mate

Kim

And, there was a wood shaving and some sawdust showing in some of the pics as well.
Sad to see Hesh turning into such a slob.....

I cheat and draw the radius and most of the braces on band saw, on or leaving just a trace of the pencil lines. I then sand(using radius dishes)or use router table on bottom radius. I am going to make jigs for router table for the scallops and then make up a bunch of left and right side of X's and other bracing for tops and backs. Probably enough for 8 guitars anyway. Then when using them just need to clean up the sanding and tool marks. I made a thing like one of the others for table saw X lap joint and use a daddo blade for that. Use vacuum press and do all of the braces for top or back all together. I must correct thing here. I am going to do this as have in past, but right now have to build my shop again with all of the moves.
