Winter build Off 2019 – Tic40

[Scoops]

More Updates

Glued on the top, and a shot of the body hot off the belt sander.
The little home made clamps work pretty well.

Cheers and thanks for looking!

Me-Ow! If my old T-40 was chambered with cat eyes I would probably still own it, and also have a better back

Update,

Put in the binding ledge, and have most of the binding glued in

 

[Scoops]

Update:

Wasn't totally pleased with the binding so I ripped it out and start over
Also put the shark fin cut outs in the finger board. Prolly MOP it tomorrow evening.

Update.

Put some tape on the sides of the neck, mixed up epoxy, and filled in sharkfins.
I'll be taking the very top level off, so I can afford to be a little sloppy.

Thanks for looking

To test the schellac against the wood for color. And to make the inside look a little better as well

Cheers

Well, as you may have gathered, this will not be done for the buildoff. New job has me swamped.

Maybe in about 5 years from we have a build off for all incomplete entries

Yeah, I'm going to have to do triage this weekend to decide how many entries I'm going to be able to complete.
