That is a great little video, I love the way you get the heat on the binding! Nice work @clinton.

Should have also said that those necks look a treat.

@Peebee

Thanks, binding is a little tricky but I just cannot seem to go without it.

Cavities

Truly is what I look forward to in my life these days. Puts a smile on my face. Very happy with this one. Gonna burst this one.

@clinton Looks amazing as usual Clinton. I still haven’t tried making a thinline type body yet, it is high on my list though. You continue to inspire as usual. 👍🎸

That looks really good @clinton. Did you route a groove for the binding round the body before you carved the top?  I'm just thinking ahead to future builds and wondering if it would be a good idea to route a binding groove in the bottom part of the body before gluing on the cap.

Yup, routed before carving the top. I have binded a top and glued it on the body but not routed a binding and putting a top over it. That would be tricky taking the material off on top of the binding.

Thanks  Clinton, challenge accepted.  🙂

@Robin, I actually thought about it but never attempted. I am certain it is definitely doable with a little finesse scraping and sanding. Reason being is that I am already in the works for a 335 build and that untraditional concept of binding is in my bucket list due to the carve top and not having a flat surface to route out a binding. Straying away from making a floating router jig just for that purpose. 

@Robin. Thank you! With much thought it will work! I have been dwelling on it gir a 335 carve top. Why not?  Let me know how it goes. You just made my day.

Cover plates

Nice job with the cover plates @Clinton, you make it look so easy.

Hi @clinton. Another great job and great film. Who was the accompanying music? Was it Wooden Shjips?

Nice moves there @clinton

You’re the one handed Bandsawsman!

@Robin thanks, the templates make it easy. Took me a while to make them. Circle patterns are very tough to get spot on and had to redi several times.

Circle patterns are very tough to get spot on and had to redi several times.

The circle templates I've made worked out well, I was lucky enough to have holes saws near enough the right size.
