As some people know I'm at London Metropolitan doing a lutherie degree.
I wanted to have a thread where I can post about this so here we are.
I'm in the middle of two parlour guitar builds at the moment.
One is ladder braced with cherry back and sides, spruce top, mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard/bridge.
Everything is being done by hand- sides are thicknessed with a plane, binding with a chisel etc.
The other is the same parlour guitar design but X braced & done on machines.
I thicknessed the soundboard, back and sides on a large industrial thicknesser & various other processes that are more 'modern'.
The idea with doing two is to compare/contrast the difference in how they are made for my end of year report.
I am fairly far along with them and won't recap everything but just give you an idea of what I did day by day.
Today I inlaid the rosette on a spruce soundboard.
It was rather fraught- took a lot of work to get the right fit and constantly checking with the dremel tool to see if I had cut too deep or not.
More to follow.

I'm really enjoying this thread by the way. Have a wow. If I was not so focused on becoming a doctor, I'd love to study that.
