Acoustic Guitar Construction

Thought I would french polish it, ha ha.
I will probably get some neutral danish oil and put a couple of coats on, and call it good

Very busy weekend, only had a couple of hours yesterday to work on the bench, but I got the ends trimmed....Yah! Placed tape over the line I was going to cut, used my circular saw and made 3 progressively deeper passes down to 2 1/2", then finished off with a hand saw. It came out pretty good with just very minimal hand planing to do. I have two Grizzly cabinet makers vises sitting ready to mount and I made up the chops for the vises also, so I'll be working on getting those mounted this week.

Only getting a little bit of time this week to work on installing the two vises. One is almost done.
I should get to spend all day in the shop tomorrow, and I'm hoping to get the bench finished this weekend.

Very nice -- is it going in your living room? You certainly don't want to scratch it up.

Ha ha, no Ken it is not that nice! Gaps in the top, etc. I did the joinery just for the experience. I just wanted a good solid bench. I think I will have that, and yes it is going to get plenty dinged and danged!

Good work Kevin, my compliments. Now you need an old leather couch (with ashtray) in the shop. Then you have it all.

Herman, you know there is not room for an ash tray in my shop!!!!
