veneer softener and/or heat bending can help if needed ;)
Hi, messaged you other day about fret saw blade for cutting frets on a table saw, what make table saw do you have please.
Nice one Mark! Do you remember the droptop I built with you in 2006? The one with the brazilian mahogany back, birdseye maple cap and the Steve Lukather EMG's?
Hi Edwin!! Birds Eye Drop Top - 🙄 Yes - Awesome! Would love to see pics or even vid...guitarmaking.co.uk/community/
Do you prefer to use the Stanley type blade over a card scraper or cabinet scraper for any particular reason? Is it that they’re disposable and don’t require sharpening? Or is it that they’re multipurpose, i.e cutting and scraping?
Yes - plus there is always one nearby! All that and they are also very cheap and easy to find. I do use cabinet makers scraper blades if I need to get heavy...
How thick a blank must be for a 1/4 inch top? Can it be close? Like .27 .28? 1/4=.25
For a Drop Top I like to make the cap a little thinner than 1/4" to make them easier to bend - approx 3/16" (4.5mm) - 5mm max - or it might snap or crack when you try to bend it. So you could start with a .25" blank. After joining and cleaning up it should be around the right size (under .25"). You have to use your judgement as each piece of wood is unique. Good Luck!
This is amazing! Thanks for the video!
Glad you liked it - Cheers Paul!
