Notching delignit bridge cap

[Fenton Murray]

I use a cabinet scraper as in the photo attached right to take out any saw or machine marks. Just a few swipes with the scraper bowed to give crisp edges. Very easy with a sharp scraper.

  Hi Jim,

  Yes, I do use epoxy - West System, thickened to a  creamy consistency with  #403 Microfibers. I've done it both ways - run the laminations through a drum sander to get a nice smooth bonding surface (prefer to not use planer as the epoxy bonds better to a slightly-rough sanded surface), or if I have a good blade on my band saw and am producing really smooth cuts, yes I sometime go directly from the saw to bonding. However, I think you get a better product by getting everything equal thickness, etc. with the drum sander.

  If I built a set a caps for a client, the laminations are run through the drum sander.
