Hi everyone,
I’m excited to join this community and connect with fellow luthiers. My journey into luthiery started during COVID when I began helping an elder luthier at a repair shop in Davis, California. With my engineering background, I focused on guitar mods and electronics repairs, along with other hands-on work over the three years I spent…

This is probably a usual discussion, but I’m interested to hear what the more experienced people in french polishing think about it.
I use dewaxed shellac for finishing, but some luthiers swear that waxed shellac (button lac) makes a harder finish.

I use Paul Seller’s method. It’s no-nonsense and effective. It is low cost over its lifetime of use.

At which angle should I sharpen? How do you sharpen chisels for mortising? Which glass cleaner do you use? Which sharpening stones do you recommend? What is the best height for a sharpening surface?
