Patterning a new pick guard.

There’s a lot of room inside this guitar but there’s no sound holes. Maybe I should put one in the pickguard.

Fancy 3-layer pickguard plastic.

I want to put a 45° edge on this but I’m not sure if I can do a neat job of it. At least I have enough material to do it twice.

Good thing I have extra material. My first Dremel setup had a fatal glue failure and I screwed up the part. Now I have to relocate things and try again. Before that I will make A special clamp to positively locate the router base without glue.

I used my 1950s Bruning drafting machine as a pantograph.

I attached a plastic platten to the machine and then glued the router down and braced it with 1/8 inch steel wire and screws.

Also I’m going to try a different cutter, because this one seems to leave a particularly poor finish.

I took a closeup picture of the carnage just as my camera decided to go dead so you’ll have to imagine it for now.
