Scraping the Back Panel to final thickness
Having planed the back from 3/16" down to less than 1/8" thick, the surface is scraped both for fine tuning the thickness and removing plane marks.

Since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated with the process of making things, particularly, things made of wood. Since my teens, I've developed skills as an amateur woodworker. I learned to play guitar starting at 11 yrs old, and thought it would be fun to make a guitar from scratch using mostly hand tools. I've completely dog-eared my copy of William Cumpiano's "Guitarmaking; Tradition and Technology". It's my 'bible' on guitar making. Here's how I'm doing so far....
- Back panels, bookmatched and edge glued
- One done... one to go....
- Body Side panels, planing to thickness
- Head 'complete'
- Headplate profile
- Carving the Heel Block
- Neck blob assembled.... now for some carving...
- Making the neck headplate cut
- In the beginning....
