« Part 30: Looking ahead - How about lutherie? Part 31 of The Craftsman's Path series Part 32: Dreadnought Guitar - Sanding the kerfed linings and installing the rosette »

Well, I’ve officially started down the road of lutherie! The guitar project has started and I’ve posted about my first efforts at my blog. Take a look at the initial steps in creating an instrument. Please let me know what you think – it’s definitely an interesting process so far. Thanks for reading!

Hi Mark,

This is going to be an interesting post. I really like seeing a step-by-step construction post on a project. I look forward to seeing yours.

Thanks

Thanks all! This project has been fun so far. It will be filling time between furniture builds – have to have something to do while the glue dries, you know??!!

Keep watching for more on this as well as my final post on the completed Queen Anne Side Table.

Dick,

Thanks. Keep an eye out for the next post.

I have already determined that because of a lack of deep reach cam-type clamps usually used in lutherie, some creative clamping solutions will be needed. I went out and gathered some materials to address that last night. The next post on this should include creating a clamping fixture for the next steps.
