    Thanks for sharing, I'm about to begin a LP build but with some different approaches. I was surprised with the binding in the lower cutaway that you didn't reduce the wood height there manually with a carve so the maple didn't show under the binding. I'm very impressed with your use of your own created jigs and techniques. Very clever thinking throughout this whole video!

    • @wkmetaal
      @wkmetaal 3 дні тому

      You're absolutely right about that. This applies only to the guitars made between 1952 through 1960. ( source reference: book " The beauty of the burst") with this build guitar, I kept the dimensions of Les Paul's 1959. The donut ring you see in the video provides the lift up

      You need two perfectly flat edges, it depends on how flat they are to start with, if they are close, then sanding can achieve this, if not then planing should be used, I suppose routing and then sanding could also be employed.

    Can you do a video on how you set the adjustment for the router bit depth when you start? I am very interested in this type of duplicator. The videos just have the in process of the carving, or the bit on the router is up assuming for just checking the paths and alignment. But how do you know how far to set the router depth? Do you just set it at the highest flat peak on the original and then drop the bit depth till it just barely touches the copy?
