I began to bend the sides.
Nothing too different from what I did previously except for the new mould.
Anyway the bending process is using my heat pipe powered by the heat gun and bend with hands and 2 small blocks of wood.
After the sides are bent, I place them in the mould.
Using the centre lines of the mould I marked and cut the ends.
After that I prepared the end blocks too.
A single end block blank can be used for 2 guitars but cutting into 1/2
Bending set-up with heat pipe heat gun.
One side bent
Cutting the ends.
Both sides bent.
Sawing the end block into 1/2
Saw tracking nicely.
Done. For the upper bout I use clamp to spread out the sides.
