Purflings and Binding

Here is my homemade jig to hold my guitars and purling/binding in place while the glue dries - pretty self-explanatory.  What is not self-explanatory is the homemade holiday ale of which I am partaking whilst the glue dries.  This beer, in particular, is perfect for drinking while using a cabinet scraper to level the Indian rosewood bindings because it has a similar spicy aroma.  Who would have known?

BEAUTIFUL. I'm still watching, though I haven't been very comment-rich, mostly just admiring and awe-ing. I hope your beer gives the wood a little flavoring too.

Of course. I did finish the body this weekend, and will post up soon! I am getting excited and anxious to put this together. Next I work on the fretboard and neck and tweaking the neck angle to get the correct amount of set.
