What have I taken on! Silvertone 45 Restoration FINISHED
#32

Today I got my 1/8 bending ply or wiggle board and began the slow slooooow process of fitting it to the face and curve. clamped it, wet it, bent it, clamped it, wet it, bent it, clamped it, wet it, bent it.

I used a heat gun for a while and then when it was finally at the proper curve, I weighed it down with my variac and will leave it for a day or so.

Then I will do the final adjustments for fit, glue down a sheet of veneer, draw the front grill pattern with face/knob holes and jig saw out.

Sounds easy right? Icon_lolIcon_lolIcon_crazy
