HTS Make Guitar Mold Fixed 2

Freehand draw a second line about 50mm outboard of our paint.

Bit of scrap dowel and a spade bit to match.

I spade a hole into each end

Bandsaw the inner and outer wood away

Lightly shape with a bobbin sander or what have you.

And we have one mold 000-18M sized.

To make sure it clamps neatly, I glue a piece of dowel onto one half of the mold.

Like so, repeat for the other end.

I spray and allow to dry for an hr.

And we have our desired inner shape

Before I split it apart again, I want some location lugs.

Some simple latch clamps from hardware store $8.35 for a pair

Drilled and fitted to each end

One fully functional and complete unit

Like so

Test our Martin 000-18M into the mold, very nice, total mold cost slightly under $21
