lsnyman -> Flamenco Solera / workboard / form (Jun. 27 2011 4:40:07)

So far I have completed the neck for my first build. I would like to build my Solera and form now but cant seem to find any advice on design for a good Flamenco Solera. Does anyone have a design they dont mind sharing? I would like to make one that encompasses all the nuances needed for flamenco.
Lower bout top doming
Neck angle adjustable.
Removable port on the form for the neck.
Form attaches to Workboard

These are just my ideas..I have no interest in building a classical guitar so I dont want to use a classical design although I assume a lot will be similar.
Any help would be appreciated. I have searched the forum and dont find anything, at least not under the subject heading.

This is not a direct answer to your questions, but a bit of my experience. My advice is not to get too hung-up on the idea of making a "perfect" solera. Since this is your first guitar, there is absolutely no way for you to understand various nuances. They are not secrets, just take a while to wrap you mind and working skills around. In addition, the beauty of a solera lies is its simplicity, not the complexity and the potential bells and whistles it can have. Keep it simple. Plus, before long, you'll probably learn your work methods, and develop ideas that work for you. You'll most likely go through more than one solera as you progress.

Best wishes in your work!

Rather than trying to produce an adjustable neck angle on the solera, I used a 3mm forward set at the nut end. From there I can shim that end of the neck back to what I need on any particular guitar

Thanks, good advice. Peter,yes I have been soaking upinformation over the past few months from every source I can. My reason for a "one' solera is purely economics at this stage. I have limited work/storage space and finances so would prefer to cut once and get a lot of use out of it.
Your experienced advice is much appreciated.
if anyone has pictures to share that would also be helpful.
