Joining plates.

Post by Tonxi » Tue May 10, 2011 7:15 pm

I have finished joining my plates 2 backs and another top done but I saved this 1 till last because of the unusual shape.
I also had uneven thickness too. Unusual shapes call for unusual clamps.

Note the clamp from an old washing machine wringer and the railway line, gravity clamp.

The glass is half full... but I'll have another while your up!

It's not over until Ricky Pontin cries! (Not long now).

Great minds like a think!

You sure you aren't part Kiwi Martyn? :lol: That's the sort of number 8 wire mentality we like to employ here, pretty good looking joint to. To use one of Padma's sayings "Whatever gets the pig clean" :wink:
"Jesus Loves You."
Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

some poor luthier would buy them.
