Hi, Thanks for the posts. I have also built a fox side bender and I have used it for the first time for the last guitar. The problem is that it did not work so...
You should give Charles Fox a call at American School of Lutherie in Portland,OR. He designed the machine. He is really a great guy. I am sure he would help...
good story. A lot of that goes on around here. I have 100 year old Bois de Arc fencepost (4x4 timbers) that I make necks out of. When I was a kid, I knew...

I've built two Coco dreadnaughts, but not out of highly figured coco. Good recommendation on the previous post about the gluing. Lots of oil/resin whatever...
