Acoustic Guitar Construction

Russ, I'd like to see a pic or two! Be careful though, that Ray person sees it, he will show you no mercy..:-)

Pictures...PICTURES!... don't listen to Bagwill, he'll tell you ANYTHING to escape the issue...truth be known he's probably saving it to burn with the fall leaves.. :>)

Ok, as mentioned in another thread, I just had the barn roofed so's it does not leak on everything, and this gives me some good usable space. I can clean a lot of the stuff out of my small humidified construction area. And - and yes, I expect no end of flak from this statement - I now have room to actually set the copy carver on a stable surface and rev 'er up again. What I'm doing first is replacing the rails with metal - the router bit and the follower have to ride exactly in sync, and the wood rails etc. just gave a little too much wiggle room. So I'll keep you posted. Of course, it may take a little time....:-)

Glad to hear you haven't forgotten us, we are anxious to see this work. Don't wait too long we are all getting OLDER by the minute. :>)

The hardware holding the router in place looks familiar - like something I've seen that is made for another use. Does it ring any bells?

Ok, yeah, I'm back on this.
I did some fine-tuning of the set-up, and tightened up some tolerances on the sloppy work I did in a couple of areas. I think we're ready for another test - I think I'll try a bridge first and if all work out well, go straight to copying as much of a neck as the machine is able to do.

Oh my gosh is this really happening?
Can't wait to see the results
