I've started my nylon string crossover guitar

[Kevin in California]

I'll get some pictures up. Neck is carved, frets are installed. I'm ready to fill gaps, sand and prep for finishing, which won't take place until spring!

What is this word 'gaps'? To what does it refer?
Hahahahahah

Gaps?Gaps? We don't need no stinking Gaps!!

[Kevin in California]

Ha ha, okay so I admitted that I have gaps...so come on now guys, you can come clean too!! :)

[Lonnie B]

Gaps?? Who me? They come with the job don't they? :0)

I know this isn't very exciting news, but I don't want you to think I'm slacking. I've made a little progress.
The fret board is on and the frets are installed and dressed. I was disappointed when I found that after gluing down the fretboard, it had shifted......besides the fact that I had it pinned in place in 3 places......a little over 1//32" off center. I guess I will have to find a better way to apply even clamping pressure next time. Anyway, it is okay, only off a little bit.
I started the cocobolo bridge on Saturday, just getting some initial cuts on the router table for the tie block bone and routing the saddle slot on my drill press using the cross vise and end mill.
I also sanded the entire guitar to 240 grit and cleaned up any thing needing that, and any GAPS, of which I did not find!!
So we are basically ready to start the finishing process. That won't happen until after my trip. I am considering trying a french polish on this guitar also.

Kevin I re-read this thread. I was looking for your formulae to achieving the back profile. I can't find it. Could you help me with this?
