Scroll and Peg Box

I have been working on the scroll for quite a while trying to make it as good as can be, but it could still be better.

I have also cut out the peg box.

Label Installed and Box Closed

I finally got my label printed and installed!

I also closed the box today!

The Scroll and Fingerboard Outline

I got help from Mr. Reed drawing on the outline of the scroll. I made a series of cuts to start forming the towers, unfortunately I did not get pictures of this.

Linings leveld, Blocks Shaped, and more Neck Work

I don't have any pictures for today, but the linings have been leveled (see picture in previous post), the blocks have been shaped, and I spent most of the day on a spindle sander getting the outline of the scroll finished up.

Removing Mold and Installing Linings

It took me all of one minute to remove the mold from the rib structure.

I have already leveled the linings in this picture.

I also installed the linings.

Back Glued On and Started on Neck Block

I glued the back onto the rib structure today.

I also cut out the shape of the neck using the band saw.

Bass Bar Finished and Locating Pins

The bass bar is now finished being shaped.

I also made locating pins to line the plates exactly where they need to be.
