I thought there for a minute, Frank was spraying his lacquer without his respirator, or
he was being very critical

Great thinking on the Legos, TKO.

i'm gonna harp on the binding info till I get what I want. i've been told i'm stubborn that way.

it appears as though your first piece was acquired already laminated...or did you pred-glue that up in a straight strip.

in any case, whose binding did you use

since the acetone didn't melt the binding for making glue, i am curious how good of a 'adhesion' do you think you achieved with your mixture?

i have stew-mac white binding with their binding cement is why i ask, but was thinking aboiut an acetone mix myself instead.

incidently, your wood choice is to die for, and your carve is gougeous. great work. i'm watching closely...act like it!

thanks

Yes the strip was pre laminated, it came that way..(call me lazy but, why make extra work if ya don't need to?)

the acetone doesn't react with the white binding but, does with the laminated binding. I ordered new white binding from SM yesterday. I'll save the other white for another build where I'll use weld on cement of super glue.

SM's cement works well but I like the acetone mixture better, it's makes less of a mess and it dries faster. Your's should react with acetone but, check a small piece to make sure.

incidently, i'm watching closely!

Really? I hadn't noticed.

I'm hopefully heading out to get a heat gun so I can bend the binding around the horn without splitting it.

Hey, just put an X on the end of my name.

 

[fatdaddypreacher]

well awright then! didn't realize that last name thing. wherer were you born and reared?

 

[TKOjams]

I picked up a heat gun today to bend the binding around the horn.

Then heat it and bend it up to follow the carve.

Heat again and bend it down.

Tape it off and do the other side of the body.

When you remove the tape you will have to clean up the squeezeout.

Use a rasor to clean both surfaces.

All work must stop when Bob, the attention junkie comes a calling.

The best thing about using the acetone glue is if there is a gap between the binding and the body, you can fill the gap with the glue. Then scrape it with the rasor and you'll never know it was ever there.

Thats it for now.

No Sir, I was just joking with ya, my family came from the Great White North aye.
I was born and raised in CT.

Ha, ha, the white Boltaron binding was the stuff that didn't melt in the acetone.

 

[fatdaddypreacher]

uh...well..uhm, I knew that---yeh,yeh,yeh, I knew that...i was just asking for someone else that didn't---yeah, thats right...that's what I was doing. why do i sound like bevis and butthead in my head all of a sudden?

thanks

 

[TKOjams]

I didn't like the way the second part of the top came out so I tore it out and redid it.
It came out much better, I'm pleased with it.

The binding around the horn is always the hardest part to do and silly me, I go and build a guitar with two of them.

Still waiting for the white outter binding to get here, hopefully tomorrow.
