VSO #?

 

*********************************************

ok, VSO #5 needs to take back seat for a while.

i need to make 3 violas in a hurry.

here are preliminaries of 2:

the back of one is drawn onto a plank of 3/4" thick maple i bought on eBay.
i suppose this is maybe going to become VSO #5 or 6.

here's the other sister VSO. both will be built on the same pattern.

necks are going to be made from these blocks i have floating around.

hmmm... here's some scrap maple. i think there's enough material here for 20 to 30 bridges.

HOT TIME folks. Dateh on 5 string, Yoon and Belcher on guitar.

i'll be back.

VSO #7 ep. 2

VSO #7 is going to have to wait until i get my rotary tool thing fixed. but this is where i'm at now:

 

my pattern is drawn onto the plank and a quick trip to the band saw produced:

 

on we go....

***************************************************

6. count them. 6!

VSO #7

VOS #7 will have a one piece top and back, since its a small soprano VSO.

the back is half a leftover pair of planks i was going to use to make my first archtop guitar, but motivation for that project dried up partway through, as if a hippo jumped into a baby pool. i will stay clear of making Guitar Shaped Objects for a while. they make me want to punch holes in walls.

may Adrian and Ariana (formerly known as Thugs At Bay) take over the world one day.
