Gluing the block for the heel


This is an arty photo of gluing the heel block. I played with the very difficult light with strong sun and deep shadows, trying to capture something artistical. You can see the joining of a soundboard in the background.

forgetting things inside the guitar

I know its something that happens, but its the first time it happens for me.

Today when I had strung up number 82, I found that it sounded very weak. hmmmm. I decided to wait for a day and went to eat. When I came back to the workshop, I started the preparation for gluing the bridge on number 83 but I couldnt find the clamping caul that I put inside the guitar when I glue the bridge. It wasnt where it should be. I even started to clean the workshop which is the best way to find things and then.... ahhhh 1 + 1 might be 2... Its inside guitar number 82. Yes, there it was glued with double side tape. So in the end it was a happy story. I found my clamping caul, the guitar sounds great and the workshop is cleaner than it was before.

French polishing


Not much to say. Doing small circles on the surface of the guitar with a pad loaded with shellack. So I tried to make some arty photos. I might try to catch the movement better tomorrow.
