Superb @jmcmi93888. 🎶🙂🙏🎸

@jmcmi93888 That looks great man, excellent work. 👍

Well. That is the end of this story. I used sanding sealer and cellulose aerosols to spray the instrument then 400 and 800 grit sandpaper for the elm which gave me a sort of satin finish. I was origin...

@jmcmi93888 lovely!

Thanks for the comments guys. My philosophy is to imagine how they built instruments 100 years ago using mainly hand tools and an imagination. Also, I am only building one-off instruments as a persona...

Hi Rocknroller. Without all the right modern piller drills and cnc stuff I had to think of another way to "carve" the plates. The spikey ball technique worked exceptionally well on the "Thistle 2 arch...

@jmcmi93888 Remarkable progress considering what you started with. One quick method for hollowing is to drill holes inside with a depth stop on the drill, then rough out till the hole marks disappear....

@jmcmi93888 That looks really good! Keep going 🙂

Attachment : outsidesdone.jpg That is the outsides of the plates rough planed to the profile lines. quite happy with the results but can't finish the neck area of the top plate until I get the mor...
