This weekend I was able to give the body a push.
Last week I glued the maple top following a process I saw on youtube.
For the body, I took the total measurements of the thickness counting the lid, which is 7 mm, so it is necessary to rethicken the body.
Once we have the right thickness, we put the template and start milling! I made a small investment (50€) in two new milling cutters. The main one is a combined cutter (helixoidal and compression) and the other is a copying machine with a bearing at the helical cutting end. I have to say that it is without a doubt a very good investment as the results are exceptional. Look at the ends of the horns, they are made with the milling cutter, without tearing or bites.
I take advantage of the opportunity to make some recesses in the maple top in order to facilitate the rest of the arm.
And this is how it all turned out.
Front face
Back side
The Top
I have to rework the arm rest recess to make the joint perfect.
Cheers!
