Baritone Guitar Construction Part 5: Arm Bevel, Segment 1
This 2 part video documents my process for making an arm bevel on a guitar. Segment 1 covers all of the preparatory steps, including shaping the bevel itself and routing channels in the body to prepare for binding. Segment 2 documents installation of the binding and purfling, as well as the matching veneer that covers the bevel.

It is a piece from a Freud template guide kit. I probably got the kit at Woodcraft.
Thank you for sharing. I see that you use the router base, meaning you will route perpendicular to the top instead of parallel to the sides. I made a jig myself for this. Do you not encounter problems doing it this way ?

I have tried several different approaches, each had its own problems, but this is the one that worked best for me. As with all aspects of guitar building, there is rarely one single "right" way of doing something. I find an approach that seems to work, then with repetition I get better, or I revise the approach as I gain insight. Thank you for watching.
can ya tell us how thick the veneer for the arm bevel is

I believe it was around 0.030". It has to be thin to lie smoothly on the curved surface.
