I recently splurged and bought the Frank Finocchio DVD series, and I've found it very, very helpful! In fact, today I used two of the methods he shows on the videos. To the left, I am using his method of clamping the edge of a hardwood block right on the line for the end of the side, and then using a pull-saw (this one is my Stew-Mac fret saw) to cut the end of the side. The block serves as a guide for the saw. This worked SO much better for me than my old method of using a bandsaw and sander to cut the line. I got it perfect the first time!!! |

Here's another tip I got from Frank's videos. He uses a thin, flexible piece of mahogany as a clamping caul for gluing the slightly radiused neck and tail blocks. This I found easier than trying to make a caul with the corresponding radius sanded into it. Here I am gluing the tail block. TOMORROW:
