Bridge vacuum clamping
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2016 2:32 pm
Guys,
I've decided I need to do something different to glue my classical bridges on. After 3 guitars, I realize that my WIFE may not always be around to put the clamping caul inside the guitar. You see my hand is too big to fit in the classical guitar sound hole, so I can't put the caul in under the bridge location.
So...... I think the best option is to get set up to use a vacuum clamp. What I'd like to do is use a vacuum venutri valve with my air compressor, and make, MAKE my own bridge clamp.
Have any of you made your own clamp for this, and if so would you be willing to share pictures, and how you made it. I am on a budget so I don't want shell out the dough for the one that LMI sells.
Any help in this direction would be appreciated. Thanks.
