I have a few more photos ready, so here they are...
OK, time to "shoot the elephant". Replacing the fender welts is the one part of this project that I'm least looking forward to and want most to finish. The masking tape is a guide to help me keep my lines straight.
Using the razor saw I cut a couple of shallow kerfs where the fender welts will go.
After finding some .018 vinyl coated stainless steel bead wire I drilled anchor holes using a #77 drill bit.
Here the wire is glued into the grooves using CA.
Not bad, it looks like I have some blending to do.
Thanks for looking and, as always, please feel free to comment.
