Woodwork

Today I have been making all necessary changes to the guitar body. I initially drilled holes in the corners of the marked space for the cavity and used a hack saw to cut along the edges.

However it quickly became clear that I did not have a saw that would reach far enough in to the body to use this technique all the way around the shape and this approach was very slow. Instead I carefully chiselled the shape out by shaving off layer by layer. This was much more effective, though did not give a very tidy finish on the fourth side, which will need to be smoothed off before putting any electronics in to the hole.

I also drilled holes down for the bridge and tail piece bushings, though I need to find a very slightly wider drill bit to widen these holes enough to fit.
