BOXING DAY

5/11/2018

When you finally get the back glued onto the body your instrument is "Boxed Up" .  That happened today with Delrene's Kasha tenor.

But first I had to cut slots for the back braces to fit.  I did this with a 1/8th bit in a Dremel using the StewMac routing device.  Yes those notches go through the sides as well but that makes no difference, the binding will cover that up completely.

Then I spent a little time cutting up a new supply of Buffalo bone. Notice my bone holder.  I have no interest in holding a bone into the band saw with my fingers.  This device holds the bone securely and also allows for adjustment in the cut.  Kind of a messy job but the final result is worth it.   The mornings work done, I joined the Community Players for a delightful afternoon of playing a gig at a retirement home.  I played "Son of Gut Bucket"  my big two string bass, as I usually do.  Lots of fun and a lovely day.
