Re: A good method of clamping tops/bottoms

This is a unique way of doing this. I wouldn't have thought of doing it this way. Spring clamps like this were used and still are for clamping things like frames for paintings and boxes. Thanks for posting this link...Mike

Re: Rasps or spokeshaves for neck carving?

I always thought I would need spokeshaves for guitar building necks so I bought a few of the curved and flat ones years ago. I have no clue where they are since I rarely ever used them. I find that rasp and especially now those micro plane rasp do a much faster job then spokeshaves. ..Mike

Re: Are you affected by the heat wave?

A hundred and four here in Philly. The dog didn't even want to go for a walk today. Took him out and he wanted to turn back after a minute. I believe the pavement was to hot on his paws....Mike
