Side Bender



I finished the basic part of the side bender. I still need to do the cut-away clamp.
but the switch and the timer work! Just a little fine-tuning and I can start bending for Marilyn's guitar.

The Rosewood showed up yesterday. It's pretty but too thick right now (i forgot to order it pre-thinned) so I need to do some planing first.

I also got some tortoise-white-black celluloid pickguard material for Ev's mandolin. So, I made one for the Gretsch too! It looks very retro now...

Someone walking past the open garage might see that as a medieval torture device!

Same basic theory. Plus, it keeps away the criminal element.
