+1 Marami niyan sa ACE.

Another thing, para makatipid, kumuha ka na lang ng straight na block ng kahoy at dun mo i-wrap yung sandpaper. That will save you a bit. Same purpose din naman. 

Pero lagi sakin sinasabi wala daw sila.

Yep, meron akong ganun hehe. Just wanted one of those.

Chino is right about the block of kahoy ;-P



For sanding contours and curves, I use Styrofoam.

Why do you think I DIY?

Sanding block yun for curves?  Pano sya ginagmit and for what part of the guitar?

While we're on the topic of sanding, question naman:

- What can you use for guitar frets (fret-leveling, yung pag bilog ng gilid)?  ano pwede gamitin besides the tools from stewmac?  Mahal kasi nun eh.

- And how about yung sa nut slots?  Ano pwede alternative vs. gauged nut-files?

Sanding block lang yun. Made of rubber. Not really the type for contours.

For Fret Crowning, you can use a small triangle file and shape the leveled frets to a round shape. Make sure the board is well taped. At WAG MANGGIGIL.  I've (almost) ruined a few boards that way. You can buy a set of small files too.

For nut slots, buy a welding tip cleaner.

good day mga sir,,, di ko po alam kong saan ko po i-po-post 'tong inquiry ko kaya dito na lang po, hope i'm on the right thread,,,

sir tanong ko lang, saan ba nakakabili ng velcro carpet, yung tingi lang at mura, velcro carpet?,,, yung pinang-co-cover sa mga pedal board para dumikit yung "tooth-side ng velcro tape, gusto ko sana kasing gumawa ng DIY pedalboard, kaya lang walang velcro carpet sa ace hardware, sinubukan ko din sa concorde sa may sm fairview, yung shop for car accessories, kasi yung velcro carpet din yung pinangcocover ng mga casing ng speakers for cars and everything,,, kaya lang wala daw eh

Nice, thanks for the tip!  Yun, crowning pala tawag dun.

sir tanong ko lang, saan ba nakakabili ng velcro carpet .... yung pinangcocover ng mga casing ng speakers for cars

Bro, try mo sa upholstery shops.  These are usually located sa side ng roads (like Evanglista, Kamias, Kamuning, Alabang National Road, Sucan Hi-way, etc.).  Usually walang ganyan sa mga mall establishments.

Eto yun diba?  If yan, hindi ata velcro carpet yan.  Although di ko din alam kung ano tawag.  Pwedeng speaker baffles cover, hehe.

[gandydancer123]

yup mura lang yung speaker carpet na yan..you can get those sa mga nagbebenta ng trapal, mga rubber matting, tarpuline, linoleoum, wire mesh, mga 90 pesos sobrang laki na..just bought half a meter x di ko alam length basta mahaba..makaka 3 pedal boards ka na..pero piliin mo yung mas stiff..kasi yung manipis pagkahila mo ng velcro parang sumasama yung mga hairs..

Yung rubber squeegee ba to? Bakit naman 'not really the type for contours'? Mas okay pa din ba yung block talaga as in block na flat? Kasi kung rubber, easier to get around the 'not flat' parts like the arched tops, sides, and contours diba?

For sanding contours maganda gamitin old tsinelas.
