First stages of Construction.

Here are some pictures I have taken of the progress so far. Sorry it has taken so long to get going on the pictures. The first ones I took about three weeks ago, but I have been busy with work and home projects and have not been able to get the pictures on the web. The latest pictures, I just did the work today and took the pictures and decided to publish them.


From the upper left picture to the bottom right picture, there is the front and back of the body blank with no cuts or template drawn on. Next is the template (backside) laying on top of the body blank (note that the blemish seen on the center (back) picture is outside the template). The bottom row shows the backside very rough cut after my initial cut (it is a new bandsaw and I have not got all the bugs worked out yet. Now the front and backside a bit more closely cut to the traced template marks. You can see where the recesses for the tremolo and electronics cavites have been marked as well as the neck pocket.
Well, I think that will do it for this post. I have changed the date on this to more accurately show when the progress has been made. I will do another post for the work I completed today (Oct 14th). Thanks for checking my blog.
