Above is my "carving shower" were I can better contain the mess of roughing out Mousa 003's hollowbody plates with an angle grinder fitted with a chainsaw wheel. Below is the grinder setup along with where I stopped using the grinder before switching over to hand planes.
From here on out it will be hand planes and scrapers before flipping it over to scoop out the inside.
This rough carve ended up on Friday's vlog. Check it out below and subscribe over on the Chubbuck Guitars Youtube channel.
Up on the roof :: Chubbuck Rogue 005 & Kalliope 001
Not technically "on the bench" ... I jumped up on the roof to get a few photos of the new builds. I caught the tail end of the sunset and wanted to try again, but didn't have the chance before the Kalliope (right) shipped out last month. The Rogue (on the left) is available to demo in person here at the ship. Please contact me if interested. I have been enjoying hearing a variety of players and styles come through and play it for me. Video demos are up here as well: www.chubbuckguitars.com/video
