The side and linings caul kit includes all the material necessary to create the glue caul for the side mold and the caul necessary to install the linings. The kit is available pre-bent to fit the side and lining molds used for the guitar in the book and DVD, and straight for a guitar design of your choice.

The side mold caul kit includes 3 pieces of  32″ x 3-3/4″   masonite thinned down to .090# and 16-3/4″ x 3/4″ x 3-3/4″ pieces of MDF for clamp pads. The masonite is available either straight or pre-bent to fit the mold.

The lining caul kit includes 3 pieces of 1/16″ thick by 5/8″ hardwood veneer( two pieces of maple for the outside face and one piece of mahogany for the middle) and a 3-1/2″ v 5/8″ block of hard maple for the waist area. Instructions are included.

Delivered exactly as described. It was worth ordering rather than thinning down my own Masonite and pre-bending by hand. I’ve constructed a test side with my molds and it works just as I’d hoped.

Not only John but other luthiers that also make very fine instruments (Greenfield, Somogyi etc.) make laminated sides. Although I make steel string acoustics it seemed to make sense to me to follow John’s process. I purchased this very inexpensive kit and was up and running in no time. The results were beyond my expectations. The laminated sides were easy to make and were far more rigid than solid wood. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this kit and John’s process. I might also add that everything I have purchased from John’s site – tools and materials – have been nothing short of first rate, and delivery has always been very fast.
