skelf Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Some short vids documenting various parts of the build progress. This may not be the best way in the world to build basses but it is the way I worked it out.

skelf Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Will try to keep it interesting and will do a new vid when there is something worth the time. A great deal of the work is not that great to watch time lapse or otherwise. Sanding is just sanding boring even in fast forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 If I had to watch myself sanding to check a video worked, I'd go insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6v6 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Great work, really interesting to watch Can I ask, is there a reason why you do so much routing freehand, vs using a router table? Also the super-fast bandsawing made me wince a bit, I kept expecting a bit of your finger to fall off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelf Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 I don't have a router table. I do have a pin router but until I sort out the 3 phase inverter for it I can't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBS_freak Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Nice. You make it look very easy. A master at work. I remember my experience with a rasp for instance. I was sweating buckets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6v6 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Great, thanks for doing these! The attention to detail is amazing - really illustrates the difference between a mass produced CNC instrument and a handmade one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyf Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 This is fantastic Alan. I'm really loving watching this as it gives a great insight into how a top quality hand finished instrument is produced. Think I'm off into the shed at the weekend.....
