Misc Thanksgiving Day Activities
I finished profile sanding the top of the side assembly on the buildoff guitar.
I cut some PVC for the gobar deck. Now it's pretty solid and seems to work like a charm so far. It's so much more stable than without the PVC.
Here I'm beveling the ends of the tail block so that it's the same width as the linings. I had originally started doing this by hand with various rasps and a file and it was taking forever. Then I spotted this little belt sander sitting on my shelf and gave it a shot. It makes quick work of it, but it's pretty easy to wreck it. I'll still finish off with a sanding block, but this removes material in a jiffy.
