I'm looking for someone in the Hartford area that has a vacuum bag system and would be willing to let me see how it works, and take it for a dry run on a particular piece I'd like to bag. It's something of a bent lamination...a drop top guitar, actually. I'd like to prepare a piece, and then bring it by and see if the vacuum system can exert enough clamping pressure AND do it without cracking anything.
I guess it's a bit of an experiment combining some standard luthier techniques together to get what I want. If it works, I'll just buy my own system. I figured this was the most appropriate place to put this because I'm not looking for a service, and I'll post the technique and the results right here...which would definitely come under general woodworking. So I guess this is kind of a collective experiment :)
