al's guitar construction & Repairs -binding ledge

5/4/2015

Moving right along with the guitar construction process. This is a router carriage that I purchased from 
Stew Mac. It has multiple  bearing sizes that attach to the tip of the bit and serves as a guide so that the blade can cut a consistent ledge around the back and top of the guitar.

This pic shows that there are 2 ledges, one shallow cut for the decorative purfling strips and a deeper cut for the binding that borders the top and back of the entire body.

Here I'm checking the fit and doing a final chiseling and filing to assure all strips fit tight.

This is what it will look like after I glue it on. I will show the result and how I secure these pieces to the body while glue is drying. Till next time, Al.
