I was = envisioning gluing up a whole soundboard panel that was thicker than = needed and then (after driving the panel to a shop with BIG = sanders/planers) running the whole thing through a planer device to get = your nice consistent final (before tapering) thickness. If I am = understanding your process, you do the above on your smaller subpanels, = but then when you have glued your subpanels together, you do any slight = evening up by a hand plane or sanding (or maybe even that is not = needed?)? Thanks. Terry Farrell No. We thickness to 9 mm then sand to final thickness. We have a large = stroke sander that makes the job a bit easier. We did try a drum sander once but without much success. The spruce = gummed it up pretty bad. I'd be interested on the experience of others. Del ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
