I appreciate it when people show their mistakes so we can learn from them! My first thought about that control cavity cover rout was that I might lean into the excursion into the edge by letting the cover itself show on that edge, carved to match the edge angle, perhaps even expanding the size of the cover rout a bit. Looking forward to the next video!
Actually, this was a great example as a lesson on what a guitar builder might expect, because it may look great in 3D and CAD but the physical reality of materials, forces, operations can hit you hard with its peculiarities!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience Chris. I’m looking forward to seeing this guitar completed.
Great video! I’m looking forward to seeing the finished product. I have really enjoyed your videos. I tend to be hard on myself when I make mistakes. But at the end of the day you’re preparing yourself for an easier future project.
Loved the video Chris! And that you showed the mistakes. I just started building, and I placed my cavity to close to the edge as well. Thankfully, right after I routed it I knew it could possibly cause issues and I made a new template that was smaller and had to plug the hole I routed and rout a new one.
I made it so the new lid will cover the mistake though.
It is a shame that this turned out this way. Back to the drawing board. Excellent lesson. We only learn through failure and practice.
The cutting process is quick, but changing bits is tedious and time consuming.
Hi Chris, wouldn't make a ballnose bit a smoother surface and therefore be a better choice for shaping?
Flat end mills work best for roughing while ball nose bits work best for finishing. However the difference between the two when finishing is not significant enough to bother with bit changes especially if the wood is easy to sand.
@@HighlineGuitars Thanks
It would be a shame to scrap that entire body. Could you not CNC machine out the defective area and glue in a matching, or maybe contrasting, block of wood and recut it to a more suitable cavity shape? If you paint the body, it would never show.
