Why?

Thanks for your useful input, Bolteh. Well thought through, well argued and in no way a waste of everyone's time.

Forum Rule #1:

1. If you don't have anything useful to add, don't say anything. Be polite and respectful

Why?

Extraordinary potency. This in guitar form



D

+ what rob said. Seriously, Motorik eviscerates anything Fender has made in most peoples lifetime.

Hmm. Lotta people breaking that one recently. Though I shouldn't talk. I do bend it from time to time. The rule, I mean. But not with rudeness. Just off-topicness.

Hmm. Sentence fragments aplenty.

What's wrong with the headstock? It's a good design.

Considering my first post in this thread, this second one was relevant.

"Be polite and respectful"", idiotbear, that would be a nice rule for you to follow.

Really great work, Ben!

I would be very interested in aquiring one of those double bearing router bits... where to get one?

[theworkoffire]

Is this one for you or are you going to sell it afterwards?

Just for me, this one.

There's a link above just between the two pics with the bit in - Axminster tools in the UK. Can't guarantee they ship abroad but I'm happy to mediate if needs be, Jerker.

can certainly vouch for it's beauty in the flesh!!! cheers for your expertise Ben.....although we both left with severe shed envy......

[idiotbear]

Oh, I have major envy of Ben's shed. Mine is tiny, rotten and good for absolutely nothing.










Sorry, we were talking about sheds. I apologise.

But you do have some sort of man cave?

Some contour shots. This is the first time I've done it this way (inspired by cross_guitars years ago), but it makes a mockery of messing around with spokeshaves and rasps.

Used my angle grinder and a 24(!) grit sanding disk to chop out the bulk of the wood:



Then marked a line 1/2" either side of the edge and rounded up to it by hand with spokeshave and/or 80 grit paper.


Same again for the arm contour:



This is it after a first wipe of Behlen cellulose sanding sealer:

[Stratelejazzuar]

slick!

Any chance you can get me a tool porn shot of the grinding disk you used Ben? I bought an angle grinder inspired by Cross_Guitars too, and the disk that is on it only any good for cutting through metal . And I am having a hell of a time finding disks that look like they would work any good to carve contours like that.
