Bandsawing

Now that I have all my body wood, bookmatched, and glued together, it's time to cut it out. Here are a few pictures of my progress.

Finshing of Bookmatching

I have finished bookmatching my walnut, and the maple body caps are nearly done. I will be band sawing out the bodies very soon. Once that's done, it's time for routing and carving. Below is a picture of what the walnut looks like after it has been glued, and thickness sanded.






I have been keeping at making prototype pick ups too. So far nothing extraordinary has come about, but I'm learning, and have few pick ups made, that have potential. Below are pictures of me winding a coil, and soldering a pick up together. The ability to solder such tiny wires takes quite a bit of practice, as you can see.
