Re: Radius Dishes

There is no simple gauge for this operation in the building of an "acoustic" guitar. The back of a guitar is typically arched in both direction and the sides of a guitar are shaped a bit like a woman. If you think about it.. the sides will be a taller at the waist then at the upper and lower bouts, that's if the guitar back.. is curved in both directions. There would be a valley in the back, at the waist otherwise.

Thanks for taking the time to work up the code. My machine is far too small to make one though (Base model Shark).

Hello

Thanks for the file...I will give it a try. This radius, is used when making the sides of guitars and other string intsruments. I know that these can be bought commercialy, but I like to think us DIY woodworkers have the No Cut's No Glory thing when attempting to make those jig's for better woodworking.

Thanks again

Dave
