Progress pics? I'd be interested to see what it looks/turns out like. And how it sounds of courseTy wrote:

Good luck Funky, keep my fingers crossed for you mate
Hope you're recovering well UF.
A little more advanced. This is the back going on. At the moment I'm putting on the bindings.
This was it shortly before the back went on. Those side supports came out, (there were for sanding down the sides so I didn't break anything,) and I fastened some additional support struts for the sides. That's purfling taped to the side to shape it but that'll be decorative, (and to cover mistakes, ) on the face of the guitar.
Sitka Spruce soundboard, Mahogany neck, back, and sides. I'm using blue holly for binding which is just holly discoloured slightly due to exposure to a particular fungus. Looks pretty good so far. No irreparable fuck-ups.

That's not a statue, that's just how Woody Harrelson lives.
Put a chisel through my little finger today. Was lucky not to cut it off. Spending the next week or so picking up everything like a fancy person.

I sent a piece of scrap into the wall behind me while ripping on the table saw once. It missed someone by a few inches. I was always VERY sure to clear the area behind the saw whenever I cut.
Doesn't compare to my uncle who was ripping a long piece and looked away just long enough to have the blade go straight down the middle of his fore finger an inch or so. My aunt said she never heard a person make the noise he did.

This is impossible if the blade is set high enough. The blade should always be as high as possible so its cutting down, not towards you.pirana6 wrote:

The guy who's teaching me lutherie is missing the tip of his thumb which he lost in a band saw mishap. Happens a lot among craftmen but sucks for luthiers as they're all guitarists as well and kind of need their fingers. That being said the first luthier I ever met only had three fingers on his right hand and could still play well enough.

Nah, it can still kick back. Kickback happens when the piece closes around the blade. If you don't have a splitter or riving knife on the saw then it happens pretty frequently.Dilbert_X wrote:

People do cut slots with table saws, this is very bad.

Looks awesome so far! The hours spent working on it will make you appreciate it that much more than if you just went out and purchased one. That and there's a story behind it if someone asks when you play for themTy wrote:

What's wrong with cutting a groove with a dado set? Safer and faster than running it through a router.

Made the fretboard today and it's currently sitting in the workshop with clamps on it. Will level and shape it tomorrow. Also will sculpt that rectangle of wood on the soundboard into a bridge and put that on; the final structural thing! Then it's all details like frets, inlays, finishing, tuning pegs - and finally strings!

I've been working on my son's nursery off and on since August. Milled all the trim and created a built-in window seat and bookshelf. Nothing as intricate as a guitar though!
