Some one in another thread suggested I post more pictures of the guitar I'm making. I thought that was a good idea, maybe I could get some pointers a long the way too.
A little back story, I barely play guitar, but for some reason I've always wanted to make one (Which is even more odd because I have no woodworking experience either). So I got the Stew-Mac dreadnought kit and spent a small fortune in tools
But I'm having a blast doing it, and I'll probably build another after this one. Anyway, I'll probably just keep posting pictures here as I continue. And if you have any pointers on the parts coming up. I'd love to hear it!
Gluing the sides to the neck and bottom block
Looking at it now, I probably should have put the C-brace on it right away on it right away.
Putting the kerfing on.
I messed up here, the kerfing is supposed to only be 1/32 over the edge, and I put it on higher. Probably 1/64. It took forever to sand it back down to the sides.
The hardest part so far was the rosette. Not sure what the deal was, but I think the space for it that was carved into the sound board was too narrow. I felt like I was going to break something as I was forcing them in.
Brace outlines.
I'm a little further than this now. I have the bridge plate in now.
This weekend I am going to be putting the sound board onto the sides.
I'll keep updating this thread with new picks...Even if no one is interested
