0-18's

Post by Bob Connor » Thu Nov 22, 2007 8:16 am

Dave and I currently have five 0-18's under construction.

Blackwood
Maple
Goncalo Alves
Blackheart Sassafras
Ziricote

They'll all have different top woods so it should make for a good comparison.

Here's a link to a zip file which contains some .pdf's for marking out body and side profiles, some specs and examples of 0-18 bracing for your perusal/libraries. When printing out the .pdf's make sure to expand the printing properties to 100%.

Will post some progress pics soon.

This is very generous Bob, Thank you.

For Aussie list members I run a print shop and can output copies the correct size. I wont be back in the office till December I expect but if there is interest we can pursue it

I got the last back braced up today. Just got to glue the Maple and Ziricote backs on and then it's a run of rosette installation and bracing/voicing the tops.
