While I was making a bridge for my current build

Post by Kevin in California » Thu Jul 20, 2017 10:53 am

I thought, hey while I have all the equipment set up, why not rough out a few bridges so I won't have to set this up again for awhile.
So I made 4 ebony, 2 indian rosewood, 5 walnut, and 2 olive bridges. The thicknesses vary slightly, but most are a bit over 3/8" so I can bring them down a little if necessary.
This is the first time I've made them up ahead of time. Anyway, thought I'd share.

For sure it is packed in there John. Wish I had the luxury of a big dedicated shop. But it works!!!

Yes Herman I know, and it just goes to show that even big guys can have a little one and make it work!
