Got it!! Again, I thank you, Diane, for going more than the extra mile!Diane Kauffmds wrote:I think it's out of print, but if you move quickly, here's one on Ebay for 20. Double check the description. If this has sold, search Ebay again.

That is what I discovered -adjusting exposure by reclamping. I felt like it was fairly secure. After a closer look I believe more passes would help. And, yes, I sure didn't feel any confidence as I worked this!ruby@magpage.com wrote:Lastly, use a file with safe edges so you can concentrate on evening up either the height or the depth without having to worry about the other. I have done several without having to file at all. I also have a curved riffler cut as a file for the waist area.
Thanks for all the great insight. And as I worked through it I realized that what I'm doing is a different method. And then Ed's reply answered for me. :-)Diane Kauffmds wrote:I think I see your problem. The soundhole looks good to me. I see a couple of places where the routing is uneven for the binding. You said you had no cradle to hold the guitar, so the guitar is moving a bit when your routing.
What kind of mold do you have? I'm thinking that you can put the guitar back into the mold, but put the mold toward the bottom of the guitar, then place blocks under it so that the top is fairly level and won't move on you. It doesn't have to be perfect, but your having problems with the guitar movement. Using the same router setting, go around the top again to see if it will even it out.
If it doesn't, I think you have 2 choices:
1. If you still have areas that are uneven, use a very sharp chisel, and smooth it out the best that you can. Purfling will fudge a little of that for you, becase it's flexble.
2. It looks like you have fairly thick sides? You could go a tiny bit deeper in your routing, which will put your binding and purfling deeper. If this is just a small amount, you can sand the sides to the binding. You can also add extra purfling to build it out a bit.
