I'll try posting this in the right place this time....
I have several metal pieces that I think will make a good dobro git but I'll have to build boxes for them. I'm going to use plywood and would like to use wood binding to hide the ply edges. Is it as simple as gluing a strip top/bottom, leaving an outside edge to glue binding to??? Bending the binding strip is no problem for me as I have a heat blanket that does it super easily.
Any other tips or methods of hiding ply edges??

OOOHH Sweet builds... and yes this is what I'm thinking of in the resonator build I'm working on.
I don't have a table saw or router. The saw died and loaned out the router which found a new home. So square and routed edges on my builds amount to what I can achieve with a belt sander, band saw and a few hand tools. As for stains... I'm playing around with them more right now seeing what I can get away with. I'm getting better at concealing the multitude of mistake I make... )
Thx guyz for all the tips...
With care you can cut the rebates using a marking gauge to scribe the width and depth then remove the waste with a chisel.Better still use a cutting gauge(I picked up an old second hand one from a market stall)
The ply edge has alternating end and long grain which takes the stain differently giving a contrast
Well if you can't hide it... accentuate it... sumthin like that.
I'd buy myself some tools but can't see spending 1200 on a cabinet saw. I've bought the cheaper saws before and they don't last well. Plus things are going to change for us in the next few years and the plan is to move offshore so hauling a shop along likely isn't going to happen. So in the mean while... I get inventive with the tools I have. More with less and I like it...
And anything bigger is the new resonator build...
