Yup Daves got it right.
The sides are mitred together, no butt joints here

Anyone got a toot or a good workflow for making a Florentine cutaway? How do you do it? |

http://dickeyguitars.com/dickeyguitars/JigsTools.html I thought I had at least a picture but it's not there. Rod True has one he shared. I use my gobar deck to put the corner together, after first gluing the mahogany corner in there cut for the purpose using a Klemmsia clamp and little squaring jig. Maybe Rod will chime in or you could do the SEARCH engine on this site. Hi Mitch! |

Just one very basic and stupid question - do you bend cutaway side on the bass side of a standard mold, then cut the short and long side from that? |

Here is the way I have done it in the past. The instrument is very stable and simple to work with throughout the process. This article was originally published in Guitarmaker magazine. See http://www.wellsguitars.com/Articles/Cutaway_Article.htm. |

Rod: Great job BTW! Got that one saved to my tutorial folder. It looks like you did a butt joint on your florentine? Have you ever tried a mitre? |

Your joint looks like this to me from the pix. Attachment: Florentine_Butt.gif This is what I expected. Attachment: Florentine_Mitre.gif Am I seeing this right? |

Billy, Following the photo-documentary of Rod's it looks to me that his sides are mitred and are exactly like the picture you labelled "This is what I expected". His glue up jig has the slot for the long side extended which could make you think it was a hybrid butt/mitre joint but the photos of the edges of Rod's side and cutaway show mitres on both. |

Yup Daves got it right. The sides are mitred together, no butt joints here
