Hello there ,nice job you are doing.
I want to build one too. I bought a book about it and what I dont understand(I am dutch ,my English is not that good)is that how you scallop the braces ?
Do you use exact measurements forming them?
Greetings from Holland and thanks for uploading!

@agolden51 If you can get the necessary shapes without destroying anything, then yes, it's just fine. would be concerned about vibration against the glue joints unless they were well cured before you started, so be wary of that.

@YukonStrings Or use a hand belt sander. I use the curved edge to do it and it saves me a lot of time. I use a chisel to get the shape of the brace curved
-
Is the curvature attained simply by the braces?
-
How much did this whole build cost you? Woods? Truss rod? In general, where from and how much? :)
-
You seem new at this, and I only say that because you look just as bad as ME when I do this. I am in the process of making my first guitar now. Keep up the good work!

hey man just wondering where you learned to build, and how long did it take?
-
did you glue your bridge plate on after recording this vid? i do hope you remembered to include it :S
do you plan on making an other guitar? If you do, you should use chisels instead of sloan plane for scalloping.

@vintageguitarguru that is good advice, I don't know when I'll get around to building another.

I'm using a sloane finger plane, it's generaly used for carving the tops and backs for mandolins and archtop guitars, but it was handy so that is what I used to help carv the braces.
