So yeah I had mentioned a few times I had been trying to build a guitar from scratch. I haven't really made any progress since I got divorced, and my ex wife hated that I had so many hobbies. I figured I'd post some pics of my cluttered work space as I attempt to get it operational. It's in the basement and I only have shopvac for dust removal, but all my power tools have direct hookups for a vac system so I figure I'll give it a whirl. Worst case scenario I can drag stuff outside.
I have a 4.5" joiner
A 13" planer
10" table saw
Router with plunge base (no table yet)
Orbital sander
Palm sander
Shinto rasp and numerous others for shaping
Drill press
Dremel tool with associated attachments
Lots of chisel and files
Fretting saw
Lots of clamps (not all pictured)
So I may need to build a fret wire roller and purchase fretting tools at some point sooner or later. I also have plans drawn up from copying designs on the internet for a truss rod routing jig, a scarfing jig for cutting and gluing, and enough masonite and 1/2" MDF to make templates for stuff..
Hoping having a little log here of my stuff motivates me to make sawdust and move forward with my build.
