Members chocolateducttape Posted July 4, 2008 Members Report Posted July 4, 2008 Hi y'all! So, I'm making a guitar cover, and I'll be lacing the edges. The only problem is, I have no idea how to go about punching slits on something three-dimensional like that. Any ideas? Quote
Members Rawhide Posted July 5, 2008 Members Report Posted July 5, 2008 I don't quite follow what you mean by 3 dimensional, but sounds like you may have to use a space wheel (stitch wheel) and a pair of nippers. Marlon Quote Marlon
Members chocolateducttape Posted July 5, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 5, 2008 Oh I was just talking about in terms of it being an awkward thing to punch slits around (like how would you go about punching slits in something that's on a guitar) but I think I've figured it out. I tested a theory on some scraps and if I punch slits in the front and back, punch slits in the side, then glue the pieces to the guitar and lace it all up, it'll work. Quote
Roger Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 yea.. you would want to punch all the holes first Quote
Members Rawhide Posted July 5, 2008 Members Report Posted July 5, 2008 yea.. you would want to punch all the holes first It's going to be a pain aligning it all up. Quote Marlon
Members chocolateducttape Posted July 5, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 5, 2008 Yeah... I was kind of reckoning on the front and back being the same. But, due to guitars being slightly convex on the back, they aren't. This will take a little more thinking. Quote
