Take a DEEP breath and cut away...

and this is what you get. The flat spot is looking nice. Got to have a nice looking flatspot. All double bound Teles just got to. That's the way it is.



a few more careful cuts...repositioning the body on the work table...flipping it over...and suddenly, you have a body that has been routed for binding. (It only looks like the bearing got a little warm. Really.)



The world's worst router has come through again. Two bodies, one poplar and one alder are almost ready for binding and glue.



"Almost" because first we have to get rid of some of the fuzzy edges. 220 grit sandpaper will work nicely.
