Normally I build a 6mm MDF template, copy that to a 12mm MDF template and use that with a template cutter on my router to make the body.

New method:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I copied the outline of the previous guitar template onto the body and by hand sketched a wider line. <\/li>\n<li>Rough cut on the bandsaw, 2-3mm outside the line<\/li>\n<li>Quick sand on the oscillating sander to get a feel for the shape<\/li>\n<li>Refine and adjust as I go &#8211; not loving the flow of the top horn at the moment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I also knocked two frame pins into the neck, cut off their heads and use them to help locate the fretboard when gluing. Almost due blood when applying the glue, as I of course pushed my finger over one of them. Fretboard clamped up for 48 hours (taking a day off), hopefully ready to be trimmed to size on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.isomorph.co.uk\/guitarBuild\/images\/guitar4\/19-roughtCut.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.isomorph.co.uk\/guitarBuild\/images\/guitar4\/20-firstSand.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.isomorph.co.uk\/guitarBuild\/images\/guitar4\/21-clampZilla.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m taking a very different approach to building the body this project.
