This afternoon I spread the auto body filler over the surface of a block of wood to be used as a caul. I placed a piece of baking paper over the filler and then pressed the neck and end block into the filler on their respective cauls. I lightly clamped them together and hopefully tomorrow, I will have a suitably curved caul.
A small step but - I've started.
At this stage, I've used about 1/3 of the tube of filler - That obviously means I will have to build two more guitars or crash my car... don't want to see it go to waste.
Time taken : 20 minutes
Tools used : Hand saw, auto body filler, baking paper
AU$'s spent : nil

This blog is kept mainly for my recall about the construction of my guitars. On this latest build, I am challenging myself with knowledge and skills - it does not has to be as hard as I am currently displaying. There may be general information that will assist others making guitars but every reader needs to keep in mind that I have next to no knowledge of guitar construction. Any information that you obtain from this site should be checked against more reliable sources. Enjoy.
