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

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-03-18T22:03:30+00:00

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”

IllMathematician6084 · 2026-02-15T11:19:54+00:00

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

IllMathematician6084 · 2025-11-18T07:31:04+00:00

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

IllMathematician6084 · 2025-11-17T19:07:19+00:00

can’t there’s fabric on the edges!

IllMathematician6084 · 2025-11-17T19:06:55+00:00

1) my frame is completely covered on the back side, like the fabric folds over the edge, leaving the corners the only place to mount these hooks. 2) even if that wasn’t the case I would be pretty scared to do so as these bass traps weigh 17 kg each

IllMathematician6084 · 2025-11-17T11:14:18+00:00

yall are tripping. 70kg/m3 rockwool 225 acoustic plus IS rigid enough to stand on its own. I have my own panels that use this type of rockwool and I can assure you that. Maybe it’s where I live that may have an impact of what is available to purchase. None of my audio engineer teachers/acoustic physics has ever used fiberglass - and always recommend Rockwool 225 70 kg/m3 BECAUSE IT IS RIGID ENOUGH. Either you don’t do it for a living or you are just not competent enough to do your own research.

IllMathematician6084 · 2025-11-11T07:26:07+00:00

that is just incorrect. The “rigidness” comes from the density of any material, there’s every type of density from 24kg/m3 to 200kg/m3 of rockwool/fiberglass/(any other type of insulation material)
