I'm self employed and when work is slow well.....it's slow with little to do. But for me, I've been (and still am) taking two university courses to further my career and they've been anything but fun so, I really haven't had much time in the shop since around Christmas.
Anyway, today was a slow work day and the wife and kids went off to Grandma's house soooooo......I took about 5 hours and gave myself some well earned shop time. (I'll have to hit the books tonight though).
So I thought I would post some progress.
I made some very good headway on the Celtic Imbuia/cedar guitar.
I had the side bent from about two weeks ago and I glued up the cutaway and the tail block. Now I know that this doesn't sound like much, but I tried to get the cutaway joint to be seamless like the last one I did, so that took a far amount of time just to line it up. I think it will turn out too, here's a pic
And I also got the truss rod installed on the neck for the Celtic guitar as well as the maple/cedar guitar. I'm using the new Allied 2 way rods and I glued a spline over top. I kind of like that method, it really makes the rod good and snug in the slot.
And here is the lot of everything.
It sure was nice to get into the shop today. I'll be able to get in there a couple more times with in the next 2 weeks, than I got 3 weeks before my final exams so I'll be studying hard, but than I have the next 4 months before more classes start.
Anyway, thanks for looking.
