A new project underway. This will be a Brazilian and Adirondack dreadnaught.
Sides in the abrasive planer taken down to 3/32 thickness
Both sides thinned and ready to bend
one side in the bendinf form with two metal slats and a bending blanket (for heat)
The entire sandwich bent to shape
Whew. Nothing broke. Sides ready for clamping to the form
These two pieces of the back were joined on the jointer, but you can see light coming through from the light box. This joint needs refining
A shooting table with jointer plane clamped on edge for working the joint by hand.
Refined joint. No light
gluing the two halves of the back together. The white is not light, its glue
The top ready for thinning and rosette inlay
