| Post subject: | Radius Dish For Profiling Weissenborn Style Guitar Sides |
I stumbled upon a tutorial in the forum archives yesterday by Colin C, that explains how to profile the sides before the bending process, using the guitar mold and a radius dish. I'm wondering how this method would be used If the sides being profiled were for a Weissenborn Style Guitar. Since the Weissenborn Style guitar is longer than a guitar held in the upright position, would a larger custom size radius dish be required? If so, what would the demensions be for something like this, considering that I would have It custom made by one of the forum sponsers? Below is a link to the tutorial I'm refering to. As always, thanks for all your help. viewtopic.php?f=10102&t=8117&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=side Ron Mack |

I don’t know much about Wiessies, but I used this tut and it works great. Simple, efficient. |

Thanks Todd for your reply. I was just curious as to whether or not this approach would work on a Weissenborn Style Guitar. I was just looking into this method for No. 2. I used the Cumpiano side profiling method on my current build that's in progress. I'l find out soon enough how It will turn out. Thanks again for all your help. Ron Mack |
