How to build an acoustic guitar - Making the Sides

[@youtubecommentor4480]

In regards to 11:00 can you please explain how to make your “pattern” for tracing the sides? This answer is difficult to locate on youtube. I am aware that one side of the “pattern” (or template) is flat and the other is contoured. Can you please explain how you decide on the contour of this particular side of the “pattern”? Thank you very much. Wonderful video.

Do you have depths or plans for the board with the lip?

Can anyone please post a link or website that describes how to make and draw out the pattern for acoustic guitar cutaway sides? I’ve searched but found nothing that covers this topic. Not looking how to bend the sides but rather how to draw the initial pattern and cut out the sides prior to bending. Thank you very much.

I assume most people don’t have the very expensive equipment that you are using and the people that do have it would already wouldn’t need the instruction, so I don’t see much use in this video.

From my view, he's a woodwork teacher that has made these videos for his students in his shop, using these machines.

I found it very helpful and I can replicate everything he did with cheaper smaller equipment.
