Today I got the jigsaw out and cut out the body blank for my latest Telecaster build. I am not keen on using the jigsaw as the blade tends to move around and not give a great straight cut. However until I get a band saw I will have to make do.
The body has to be routed to the correct thickness so I'm not concerned about the gaps where the planks join, today I am going to start on the edges by sanding them smooth and square.
It's really hard work doing all this by hand but well worth it in the end. I will start with course sandpaper and also use a cabinet scraper periodically checking that the sides are square to the front and back. More later!
