DIY Shorts: Doblando los Aros (Es-En)

If Spanish isn't your first language, scroll down for the English version or click here

Estamos de vuelta en el #ThreeShortFriday. Hice les traigo un poco más de trabajo del taller. En este caso, como doblo los aros del cuatro. Con este artilugio casero que consta de una lata con un bombillo adentro.

Una de las cosas a destacar es que para hacer esto, primero hay que rebajar el espesor de la madera y luego hidratarla. Así se convierte en una pieza más flexible y fácil de trabajar.

Bending the sides

We are back on the #ThreeShortFriday initiative. Today, we have some workshop duties. This is how I bend the sides of a Venezuelan Cuatro. The jig I'm using is no more than a can with a lightbulb inside.

I have to point out that before trying to do this we need to take care of a few things. First, we work on the thickness of the sides. Second, we soak them in water. These things make wood more flexible and easier to work.
