Simonbw , in What's the best method to clean up the inner walls without power tools?

I know this is late, but some more details might be helpful. Are we talking about an electric/solidbody guitar, or an acoustic? I don't know about acoustic guitars, cuz they seem like their own thing, but with a solid body guitar, I imagine a wide chisel to get the walls straight, then sanding by hand with increasing grits of sandpaper to just clean up the surface finish. One of those sanding sponges might be helpful.

More details:

  • The african mahogany has a continuous grain pattern all around the box.
  • It was made with simple miter joints and the splines you see on the image.
  • The bottom is also made with maple.
  • The inner walls are maple that were friction fit.
  • Finished with tung oil.
  • I had to make 2 jigs for this: a cross cut sled with an edge for the 45 degree cuts and a spline jig.
floppingfish ,

Sounds great. Could you please show pictures of the jigs?

runeko , in What are some less-obvious items that you must have in your shop?

A decent bench with a decent vice. Work holding is key.
