ORIGINAL: RobF John is too modest. Here’s a link to some of his line work. https://johnguitar.com/almost-finished/ Ya, I poped on over to look at John’s line work, makes mine look like a cartoon :/ Baby steps… I glued my diagonal work, a strip of simple wheat and chevron, with TB and water and it’s taking days to dry fully, which is fine of course but I’m not the most patient man. There was a drop off scrap piece of my diagonal on the ground next to the band saw, thought about it a moment, about 1.4mm thick, glued it up with the blue fiber on each face with some thick CA just for kicks. Thought about it some more and tacked some of my extra 1mm veneer to each side on one edge, then ran off 1.5mm strips on the band saw with a simple zero relief plate of lexan on the band saw. The saw kerf is just under .75mm so I can get about 10 strips per inch if all goes well. I’m torn between just using CA and not having all the swelling etc of waterborn glued but a little less flexible vs. just stinking with the TB. I don’t use HHG as a rule, I use the Frank Ford quicky version when I have a real need, as in flooding a tile or perfling strip to let it swell up in a groove. Warmed up to zero F this morning, and of course it snowed and had to snow blow for a couple hours, miggt just make it a self care Sunday and chill in the house… HR
