I’m glad you’re enjoying Lamination PRO, Yvon. It’s unfortunate that this software is one of the best-kept secrets for woodworkers. I decided not to market it to the woodworking community since my career outside of Woodturner PRO kept me as busy as I could handle.
Since retiring, I have been volunteering at a local high school woodworking program and the advanced students really took to Lamination PRO. I helped them make a board of thunderbirds like the ones on my ‘Bird Design’ sample and they re-sawed it to a thickness that could be applied to the top of a skateboard. Once their friends saw it, the teacher told me that the demand for his class went through the roof and that I needed to come up with another project for them.
This is my plan for the next project. We’ll start with a Fender Telecaster kit where we’ll plane 1/4” off both the front and the back of the guitar body and make a star surrounded with maple from a radial design. After gluing them to the front and back, we’l use a pattern-maker’s router bit to make the recesses for the electronics and pickups.
It’s actually a pretty simple project and I’m sure the kids will enjoy making a one-of-a-kind guitar as shown in my test build.
