i really enjoyed that, in 1987 i built a guitar with a carvin neck , african mutenye wood body, and rasped and filed by hand. unfortunately it was stolen at a house party i had, where i wasnt smart enough to not be the passed out host...

in most videos of others, im not seeing any slight scooping out of bevels, although ive seen some concave bevels in pictures in older models. would you attempt a 1/32" deep or so cupping or scooping of bevel internally of the lines, with a curved razor sharp gouge? like in lathing? if you woudnt let me know

@jbenedict967 tbh, it would depend on the thickness of the top - to do a full re-carve into the edge, ideally you’d need around 18-22mm thickness to give you enough material to carve into. I mark out where I want to carve and remove the excess until I get to where I like how it looks rather than go for a definite depth.

BREATHTAKING! Astounding work! I like the cut of your jib, sir! So, I'm refining and slightly shaping a guitar body... my main goal is to get all the lines, curves and edges nearly "perfect" in spacing and dimension - Basically it comes down to sculpting it with your eyes and hands? Good tools too, of course. 🤔🤗😎

Thank you sir, much obliged 🙏 it’s entirely a ‘feel’ thing, draw the lines on the body where you want the shaping to be then remove the material between them. Run your index & middle fingers together over the area - you’ll ‘feel’ where you need to refine it more than you’ll see it with your eyes 👍

Great video and beautiful work! What is the thickness of the body and what is the thickness of each layer?

Do you hand sand the bevels to preserve the edge better or do you use an electric one?

I use a combination of the two, random orbital to get most of the work done then hand sanding at highest grits to finish it off.

Yes I do, though I’ve learned more from mistakes and how to fix them. Important thing is try to remember what I did wrong and not do it again…
