A ROUTER DAY

4/10/2020

2 Comments

 
Let it be known that I am not very fond of routers.  They are noisy, create a huge mess and throw sawdust everywhere,  They might even be dangerous,  But I must admit they do their work quickly and well.
Picture
Here, the router is cutting the groove for the binding around the edge of "The Sunburst".  I am hoping to do a sunburst on this beautiful top of Bearclaw Sitka Spruce to hide that ugly pitch pocket you can see on the lower bout.  Kind of excited to try it, never done a sunburst before.  It could be beautiful.
Picture
Here is a closeup of the groove.  I ran a small file around it to be sure there will be no interference with the binding.
Picture
I got all three of the ukuleles ready for their bindings today.  That meant each instrument was first trimmed with the edge trimmer,  Then routed again with the groove cutting attachment.  There was lots of sawdust and cuttings to vacuum up.
Picture
Then you must make room for the binding to go around the top of the body with saw
Picture
And chisel, taking care to cut it flat and no deeper than the binding will be.
Picture
Then a little finish work with this big bastard file
Picture
And these ukes are ready for their binding,
