    A cocobolo parlor guitar, and the "buildoff" guitar, which is part of a instrument building contest at luthierforum.com. A few stubborn frets on the upper part of the board, the ends weren't staying down. A makeshift fret press and used superglue to hold down those frets. The fingerboard is only attached with double stick tape at this point, to give me a guide to cut out the rough shape of the neck.

    Guitar Making

    My adventures in instrument making. Currently working on two guitars. One is a cocobolo parlor guitar, and the other is the "Buildoff" guitar which is part of a instrument building contest at luthierforum.com. The earliest posts were about the class I took at Harry Fleishman's shop, one day I'll finish posting pics of that.

    Vacation Day 5
    I didn't quite spend as much time in the shop yesterday, it was time for some much needed relaxing with my wife. I leveled the frets. I marked the top of each fret with a Sharpie, then lightly sanded with sandpaper on a straightedge. When all the marks are gone, the frets should be level. It leveled up quickly and evenly.

    I did have a few stubborn frets on the upper part of the board, the ends weren't staying down. I made a makeshift fret press and used superglue to hold down those frets.

    Vacation Day 4

    French polishing supplies...

    A couple French polish sessions on the top just to seal it so it won't get stained by pore filler.

    Pore filler on the back and sides, looks like a mess now but when I sand it back the wood will be nice and smooth.

    The heel cap glued on, same wood as back and sides.

    I tapped in some frets and started filing the excess off the sides.

    My custom made fret-bender.

    Vacation Day 2
    Here are some highlights from yesterday.

    The fingerboard is only attached with double stick tape at this point, to give me a guide to cut out the rough shape of the neck.

    I roughed out the shape a bit, now it's starting to look like a guitar neck.

    Now I have to make ramps into the slot so the strings have clearance to get to the tuners.

    Working on getting the neck fit properly to the body, which involves a lot of attaching and detaching the neck as I make adjustments.

    I sand to make a flat surface so the fingerboard can lay flat and true.

    And at 1:30am last night I glued on the fingerboard to the neck with epoxy and

    called it a night.

    Vacation Day 1
    I've got this week off of work, and the goal is to finish this guitar. The deadline for the luthierforum contest is Friday, so expect lots of updates with very little text description this week.
