The Concerts are Boxed Up

6/3/2014

Progress continues remarkably well on these three Pinecones.  This morning I finished the third back, applied the labels and boxed them up.  Wow!  record time for me.  I seem to be getting faster. Maybe experience helps,  I don't have to stop and figure each move any more.

I sand the exterior of the back with this orbital sander and it can throw a lot of sawdust into your shop and into your lungs.  Here is how I solve the problem,  A connection from the sander to the shop vac makes this  operation virtually dustless.  The only dust is in the shop vac.

Here they are, all glued up and boxed by 4;30 this afternoon.  After music class tonight I took the rubber bands off and found I had super good joints all around.  A little fairing of the joint area and I will be moving to the next project,  I guess the fret boards.  Got to check my stash of Honduran Rosewood.  Think I have a chunk to saw up for fretboards.
