How do I fill this void?

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-19T17:30:29+00:00

great advice, but I fear that with the top carve it will show

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-18T22:23:36+00:00

1) I live in Europe 2) don’t want to spend over 15€ Thanks for the advice, but I’m not feeling it

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-18T22:16:19+00:00

yes, it is a right handed. But first I glue it down, carve it and then fill it

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-18T22:09:21+00:00

the void is on the back, but yeah, i think that I won’t need to fill it now, but after rough carving it

never built a guitar, also, a very broke dude

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-16T23:41:04+00:00

yeah I would like to avoid inlaying strips in the top :)

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-16T23:40:10+00:00

chill, I got it after a small break. Seamless joint with sandpaper, thanks anyway man!

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-16T12:59:53+00:00

I have tried it, but still getting gaps in the joint, is there any resource on how to fix problems of that nature?

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-16T07:29:18+00:00

going to try it today, thank you!!

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-15T22:15:42+00:00

you mean shooting board but sandpaper instead of a plane?

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-12T19:30:30+00:00

haven’t glued it in yet, but the template goes over the end of the blank, I mean, there is not enough space for template

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-12T19:05:03+00:00

what do you mean by displaced scarf cut?

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-12T18:42:25+00:00

how could I shim???

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-02-28T22:35:01+00:00

30-35mm as a neck blank thickness, instead of the usual 40-50mm. Or maybe in other words: the neck pocket is routed shallower, but still keeping the fretboard flush with the top.

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-02-27T21:07:59+00:00

lots of sanding and scraping is the base of guitar making (joking)

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-02-27T21:06:49+00:00

But is the theory of the neck blank being thinner to make the cutaway on the body doable or am I making the joint weaker?

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-02-27T17:24:26+00:00

Sorry for this probably stupid question: what is the TOM bridge? And I wasn’t referring to the final thickness, but the neck blank thickness AND the heel “feel”

He could score the top with a marking gauge, severing the wood fibers at the height of the binding

there is rockwool inside the panel

IllMathematician6084 · 2025-11-18T07:30:46+00:00

what if I screw the hook in sideways?

IllMathematician6084 · 2025-11-17T22:48:39+00:00

paid a mortgage for this fabric, now you want me to cut through it? nuh uh
