Hey Hec,
Will you share your curved scraper with me so I can see what I am looking for?

Going to go with the glue/clamp/timber option. Looking for an appropriate piece of maple.

I guess I learned a good lesson, be careful with the power tools!

ps
I still have 2 weeks at my friend’s house. I don’t always have signal.
Cheers.

Hi Chip, I am sure you can get these from Amazon. It is what cabinet makers use, but they are very handy indeed, a little difficult to sharpen, but YouTube covers it. Cheers Hec

Having read / skimmed through this thread, I have to admire your stick-to-itivity here. A few years back I found a Starcaster In a neighbor’s trash pile and thought I’d found an opportunity but the body was split and the neck was twisted so I wound up tossing it. While my wife and I had fun building a Stewmac S-style (and she also did an amazing finish job) I’ve decided I’d rather play my guitars that build. I do need to work on improving my setup skills.

Good luck with the rest of your journey. I recognize you’re viewing it as a learning opportunity but I really hope you wind up with a playable instrument as a result, too.
