Fit the Back
In this lesson we will fit the back.
Make sure you have read this lesson all the way through before beginning the lesson. A word of advice is to practice on scrap.
|
|
Align the back to the tail and tape it in place. |
|
|
Do the same at the heel. |
|
|
Mark the brace positions on the lining. |
|
|
Mark the brace where it meets the side. |
|
|
Remove the back. Subtract 2mm from the line you just drew. Cut to this mark with a razor saw. |
|
|
Chisel away the excess. |
|
|
Measure the depth of each brace. |
|
|
Transfer that measurement to the lining. |
|
|
Slowly remove the excess wood with a chisel. Check the fit of the back frequently. You will probably install and remove the back many times. Remember to check the alignment at the heel and tail! |
|
|
Perfect fit! |
