In this first part of this build step, we shape some more using a combination of both hand and power sanding with the goal of finalizing the overall shape.<\/p>\n

(Note: Since this step is split into parts, the tools shown will be shown over a series of articles.)<\/p>\n

Below: The body with rasp sitting on top, a pair of work gloves, 80-grit self-adhesive sandpaper, some bladder sanders (all same size, different grits), two F clamps, caul scrap blocks and a power drill.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4966\"<\/p>\n

Below: Body is clamped to table (note that scrap blocks are used specifically to prevent the body from becoming dented).<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4967\"<\/p>\n

Below: From a previous build step, this is a router burn mark from rounding over process. This needs to be fixed.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4968\"<\/p>\n

Below: Before using the rasp, there is an edge present that needs to be ramped down due to the fact the rasp would break the wood and cause more undue work.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4971\"<\/p>\n

Below: To ramp down this edge, a utility blade is used.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4972\"<\/p>\n

Below: The edge has been ramped down and is now prepped for rasp use.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4974\"<\/p>\n

Below: The rasp is now used to smooth the edge and remove the burn mark.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4975\"<\/p>\n

Below: Rasp work is completed and burn mark removed.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4978\"<\/p>\n

Below: The other side of the neck pocket that also needs material removed before the rasp is used.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4979\"<\/p>\n

Below: Again, the utility blade is used to remove a small amount of material to prep the area for rasp use.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4980\"<\/p>\n

Below: Blade work is completed, and now the rasp is put to use again.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4982\"<\/p>\n

Below: Rasp work is now completed on this side of the neck pocket.<\/p>\n
