It's been a while since I've made any headway on this build - but I'm back at it. It's winter - what else am I gonna do?
Recent work:
Drilled the hole on the top (and the cavity in the back) for the volume knob.
Inlaid a strip of cocobolo the length of the neck and headstock
Inlaid the Irish penny piece (needs some sanding and polishing still)
Inlaid the fret-dot markers. Man, it you are off by even 0.5 mm it looks funky. Still - it was fun.
Burnt the 'frets' using a wood burning tool. Bought a metric ruler and a set of calipers for this. FYI - calipers rock.
I 'dressed' it with all the hardware for these shots. I still have a bunch of things to do before assembly. Including making a new nut. That aluminum has got to go...
