Good Afternoon Friends!
Being fairly new in the flute making bidness.... I like (of which I
assume I am like!) many beginner NAF'ers have questions. My question
revolves around the Bore and Sac bores before the halves are glued up.
Here's where my NAF building comes from : Ki I TA.. Great
instructions! Here's some of my questions:
1 - Before the 2 halves are glued up I have been finishing the bore
halves with about 3 coats of shellac (sand/shellac/sand/Shellac....).
Mainly because I think it's easier than other methods like pouring or
dunking shallac down the bores after glue up.. I would like some feed
back here.
2- I have been using a "CA" glue + accelerant to glue up.. Its much
faster and that way I can get to the fun part faster..... Whats your
thought(s).
3 - I've seen some flutes with "holes" drilled down on the south end
of the flute, generally there are Four holes, each pair opposing each
other. Is this for tuning or looks .. or what?
Thanks for helping a brother out!
May God richly bless you.
