Nice! Very enlightening. There are many jigs and tricks and tools.. but looking at the pictures there's so much that relies on really sensitive handiwork. If i would have gotten to the point you're at in the essay, where all the parts that make up the guitar are nicely closed together, the process of carving the neck would be really nerve wrecking. Have you had to tear up and restart almost finished guitars before getting your skills and process down? This essay, and Stephen Hills documentary, and Anders' stuff have been really inspiring, though the work looks very difficult. Sometime i will have to try my hand at making a guitar (as well as commission one of you guys for a guitar (ideally one from each :D)). @Per Jag experimenterar med flöjter. Har labbat med bambu och olika slags rör, men vill förstås även göra några finare varianter när jag är nöjd med prototyperna. Jag letar efter vettiga råvaror. Jag har inte hittat något sätt att skaffa små kvantiteter av diverse trä, på tex fanerkompaniet måste man köpa väldiga plankor. Har du något tips? Kanske kan man köpa spillmaterial från någon?
