Bevel-up vs. Bevel-down gouges for carving archtop plates?
Ever since I saw Archtoppery on YouTube, I’ve wanted to build a classic archtop guitar. I have the Benedetto book, have plenty of practice wood…just need to finish the 10 other open projects I’ve started but not finished 😂
In his videos, Ken Parker often talks about making tools or being unsatisfied with tools available to “guitar makers”, encouraging people to seek out vintage tools. To that end, I’ve gotten some fairly large, roughly #6 sweep gouges, one bevel-up and one bevel-down
Question: For those of you who rough-carve your archtop plates, which tool do you prefer for what operations? Obviously, there’s no substitute for me seeing what I like, but I need to sharpen these gouges first so I thought I’d open it up to the group.
