Got the back on as well now but I need to modify the mold a bit as it’s too wide in some places. The rubber bands catch on the edge and don’t put enough pressure on the guitar.
Made it from an old bit of kitchen worktop. I prefer a mold where the ribs go on the outside which I’ve always used in the past. Easier to do the clamping.
Yes I used what was free at the time but not the greatest to work with. I will also have to varnish the inside as the chipboard made some small scratches on the wood which need sanding.
Some people call me a tool, others are less complimentary. Tools being useful things.
i forgot to say that it’s a Martin kit guitar I got when I visited the factory years ago so can’t take all the credit.
Still a fair bit to do though. The back wasn’t joined and was 1mm too thick and I planed it by hand. Don’t think I would build a kit again it’s harder than starting from scratch as the parts are pre cut for assembly in a factory jig and have to be lined up perfectly for gluing with no room for error.
