Hey Daniel, no offense taken, your picture and description will be helpful for anyone doing extensive clamping tasks for the first time.  Since the new piece on this project will be under the top, I knew they wouldn't show, so no big deal.

As always, I learn from everything posted here anyway, so no harm done.  You should always feel free to teach in this part of the forum.  That was my intent in starting this subforum.  Besides, I'm a doctor of philosophy, not luthiery!   ;D

I don't think there's any real rules to follow, you should do whatever it works for you and get the job done. As long as it doesn't mean to give you even more work down the road to get rid of the clamp marks, right?

As for myself, I just got used to using cauls everytime I glue something, even if it's something that's not going to show later or will be sanded off.
But I see your point, Doc. To each his own.

Oh, boy... now I feel like a dork trying to "teach" the doctor...

But you're a doctor nonetheless. And that's far more than I'll ever be, so I should put myself in my place and let you do your work, which is turning out great!

HOLY CLAMPS Fatman!!!! Thems a bunch o' clamps!! I thought I had a collection ! :mrgreen:

C'mon guys! That's just a fraction of my collection. And because we run a collective workshop (myself and two other friends), sometimes there's just not enough.
Besides, I'm way down here in south-america so we can't really buy good clamps, these are dirty cheap, low quality clamps. I think at least a forth of the total has some functionality issue.

Thanks for your thoughts Daniel.  Here in the forum we're all on equal footing when it comes to our love of basses, building and repairing.

I'm still collecting clamps and have a ways to go!

Here she is all routed out and ready for the top to go on later.............I love my routers.  I use them for all cutting and trimming.  And to think just a little over 2 years ago I didn't own one!

Doc, are you going to finish it natural? Ill have to  find the part where you did the binding in the  cat eyes. I have a project in mind and that will look nice for my sound hole idea.M

I've been thinking about a cherry burst or an all amber finish.  Don't think I'll do a natural finish.  I 'd like some more color on it.

The holes were easier than I imagined.  I used very thick Maxi-Cure CA which is nice cuz it doesn't run so much and it dries in 15-20 sec.
