Hey Lance, looking good [:Y:]

Great to see a build related post from you, we have all missed them.

Cheers

Hey Lance, what is that photo of the end graft right before the photo with the Xacto knife? I can't make out what's to the right of the end graft. It almost looks like a bezel, but it is on the back so obviously not that. I think my eyes are playing tricks on me ...

… that's hysterical. I can see it now. I've been looking at that photo and scratching my head. The reflection confused me as I didn't realize a chisel was there. I wanted to say it looked like another photo got cropped into the photo, but I was embarrassed to say I was that confused :mrgreen:

Okay I'll post up something a bit different. Been listening to Mississippi John Hurt a bit lately. I'm a bit more of a classical guy, but decided to tune down a 000 and rip one extemporaneously after my brain had gotten Hurt Infused. I happened to kick voice memo on the iPhone - so the mediocre recording and all the little mistakes hopefully add color to an old timey sound.

Nice, clean looking work Lance... what B/S wood and what type of clear tape are you using for the binding?

jack

At the office this morning for me, then its off to visit Mom and Dad for the afternoon. Hope to hit the shop this evening, providing "family" lets me by not making "on the fly" plans. Here is what I have been working on.... Not pictured is the top bindings and purflings well underway. Just one side left to do and its finish sanding for this body....

Nice job Lance! I like the look of a 45 degree miter at the butt over the 90 degree myself. Thanks for posting.

Cheers Kim Thanks Kim, Although I have been building all along, I must admit my participation at the OLF has been more work and no play, which has made me a dull boy Hopefully that is "nearing" the end of its dirty cycle and I can get on with it.

So I was laying in bed with my dim laptop and a dim mind wondering, "What the heck?!"

Nice combo of woods going there Lance. I think this is the first post I've ever seen of your building. Great work. That is one shiny chisel too!

That photo with the chisel had me scratching my head too! I don't think I would have figured it out. Looking good Lance!

Lance, I just reviewed your pix and wondered (newb question), how did you leave the end graft so perfectly proud during binding routing, so that you can add the purfling even with the end graft? Thanks, Beth

Author:	Beth Mayer [ Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:38 am ]
Post subject:	Re: A good Saturday morning to you OLF! (Heavy pic content)
Okay, after writing that question, I realize that you routed a separate channel for the purfling... !

Author:	AlexanderLou3 [ Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:19 am ]
Post subject:	Re: A good Saturday morning to you OLF! (Heavy pic content)
Its all one channel. The trick is to tape a piece of purfling to the back by the end wedge so the router has to step up that much higher, leaving you enough purfling to miter.

Author:	Beth Mayer [ Wed Feb 02, 2011 5:12 pm ]
Post subject:	Re: A good Saturday morning to you OLF! (Heavy pic content)
So, you are taping the piece of purfling right onto the uppermost (and lowermost) edge of the end graft? I'm trying to get a visual and not sure I am on the right track.

I was putting the binding on a Mandola this weekend , I used TiteBond Orig . What Glues Do you reccomend ? The bindings were wood ! would thick ca work better ?

Beth, I think Lance is sizing up for the mitre cut. The routing has been stopped clear of the end graft to allow for that special picture frame mitre.

Looks great Lance. Excellent job on the miters by the way!
