Patience...

It may look just like yesterdays posts....


but it's progress.


A limited number of clamps and glue drying times, both conspire to draw out the anticipation of achieving what you set out to make.

Inspired...


I was inspired to build this stringer out of scraps after seeing a photo of a guitar neck...

Once all glued it will be a thirteen strip lattice just under an inch wide.


I just need to build a board to put it into now...

Stringer building 101


Plane and cut cedar and balsa scraps, many colours, many sizes...


Add glue...


Clamp...


Stay tuned for next installment with more cutting and gluing..
